13 Must Watch Throwback Halloween Movies

It's just a bunch of hocus pocus!

13 Must Watch Throwback Halloween Movies
Walt Disney Pictures

1. Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire

How annoyed were you when watching this? Because I was infuriated. Seriously, come on Hilda Spellman — I mean...mom? The dude is obviously a vampire! Now it's up to Taylor (the boy who strangely reminded me of Macaulay Culkin) and his siblings to save his mom. Nice job, mom.

2. Phantom of the Megaplex

Holy smokes! This movie used to scared to living daylights out of me. But of course, I still watched it. Who in the world is messing with the films? And when you'd see that cape whip by your heart would stop for a minute.

3. Under Wraps

My suggestion is to watch this after watching 'Phantom of the Megaplex'. The humor will help you forget about that scary phantom. Because who doesn't want to watch a movie about a group of kids who accidentally bring a mummy to life on Halloween?

4. Don't Look Under the Bed

This movie terrified me as a child and chances are it still does today. I'm not even kidding you, for a kids movie this was some intense stuff. This movie is the fuel of nightmares.

5. Twitches

This movie brings me so much happiness. Because when you see it on T.V. you KNOW it's Halloween. I wanted a bedroom like Camryn so bad! And that Halloween party she threw looked bomb; well you know, until the darkness crashed it.

6. Tower of Terror

This movie only intensified my fear of the basement for years. I'm telling you, I don't know how this thing was produced by Disney.

7. The Halloweentown Series

Oh yeah! If these don't scream nostalgia then I don't know what does! While my favorite was the first one, I still have to watch all of them because you can't just not watch the whole series. There was something so magical about these movies. My absolute favorite part was when the Piper kids had to go around Halloweentown to collect the ingredients for the potion. * Sigh * So nostalgic.

8. The Little Vampire

I cannot even stress to you how much I loved this movie when I was younger. I mean what's not to love? Jonathan Lipnicki was the cutest little kid ever. Let's just say it was NOT Halloween to me if I didn't see this movie.

9. Casper


Oh, you know the one I'm talking about. Two words: Christina. Ricci. How cool was that scene where Wendy took that little rollercoaster ride down through Casper's 'Up and At 'Em Machine'. And spoiler: Casper turns out to be a total babe (or at least he was back in the day).

10. Casper Meets Wendy

Obviously, you loved this movie because it starred Hilary Duff aka Lizzie McGuire. Who didn't love her? And anyone who says they didn't is lying. Also, the scene where Wendy and Casper get revenge on the little punk kid that's rude to Wendy is awesome. Don't act like you don't agree with me.

11. The Nightmare Before Christmas

First of all, let me just say that this movie is applicable to both Halloween and Christmas. That is one of the coolest things ever.

12. Double, Double Toil and Trouble

Who knew that a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie could be so scary? But I am here to tell you the one does indeed exist. I still have chills when I think about how petrifying that movie was to me.

13. Hocus Pocus

You didn't really think I'd forget about this one, did you? It's only the best Halloween movie to exist. I mean it's Bette Midler as a witch, come on! Not to mention there's a talking cat named Binx! And don't even get me started on Max; he's so dreamy, am I right? Plus, that musical number is the bomb. 'Nuff said.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
