halloween time movies
Tuesday, October 10, 2017
It's finally October, my favorite time of the year.
I get to fill my room with halloween decor, spoopy orange lights and fall-scented candles. I can't wait to bake so many halloween themed goodies, and go to haunted houses.
Anyways, I know I've lacked with the monthly movies for the past 3 months. yikes.
But I honestly didn't watch that many new movies in those months.. which is really disappointing to me. I dunno what happened. Oh wait yeah I do; I got super distracted with other shit, ha.
I really only saw movies in theaters, some being free screenings. I might just do a post with all the movies of those past months combined.
Either way, for this post, since Halloween is in 21 days, I wanted to do a list of movies I personally enjoy watching during this time. Most of these movies are family-friendly. Ya know, the good nostalgic shit we watched back when we were hella younger. The oldies that never actually get old. Again, it's just my personal list. I'm not saying all the movies on here are super great or anything haha. I just really love watching them this month.
they're in no specific order, I'm just going to categorize them.
THE CLASSICS
beetlejuice (1988)
gotta have some beetlejuice! beetlejuice! beetlejuice!
the addams family (1991)
might dress up as a homicidal maniac; they look just like everyone else
hocus pocus (1993)
this is most definitely my favorite movie to watch during halloween time. and it was released during my birth year so ayeee, we've been around the same time.
casper (1995)

I feel like this one is prolly under appreciated. I love it and it cracks me up every time.
THE FOREIGN GOODIES
pan's labyrinth (2006)
I just love the grotesque visuals in this movie
let the right one in (2008)
another vampire movie that's quite amazing. the characters are so beautifully developed. and there's a cute story about friendship and love in this movie, as well as gore and wonderful visuals.
YOU NEED GUILTY PLEASURES
cabin in the woods (2011)
lmao this movie is so ridic, I just, I need to get those good laughs
horns (2013)
okay I know this movie sucks lol. I will admit it's not the best; the dialogue can get pretty cringy. BUT, I absolutely love the novel that it's based on (check it out). And honestly, the cinematography in this movie is really nice; i love the visuals and i love watching it even with its flaws. And I love Dan taking on such a different role haha.
& LASTLY
final destination + saw film series
these are just classics really. I mean they both love exploring new ways of killing off unimportant characters
