Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays. Even though the actual holiday is one day the whole month is used to get into the spooky mood. You get to dress up and have fun and, of course, all the candy. One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is to binge watch a bunch of Halloween movies with a nice bowl of popcorn. I split this list up so most of them are family-friendly since I'm not a huge horror movie fan, but I threw in some classics for this that are. Here is a list of 20 spooktacular Halloween movies.
Favorite movie

The Nightmare before Christmas has to be my favorite Halloween movie ever. The story and the characters are just awesome. Plus the music is so catchy and sticks in your head. Bonus is it can double as a Christmas movie as well.
Everyone love Charlie Brown

If you haven't seen this yet go watch it. There are three movies in this series but the first is always the best. Marnie is just your average teenager with an overprotective mom who has a grudge against Halloween until she finds out she's a witch. Following her, Grandma Marnie and her siblings travel to Halloweentown a place for all things or people that go bump in the night. I won't go into too much detail because I'm sure most of you have already seen it and know why it's on this list.
Puppies in costumes

This might be for a younger age range but don't knock it till you've watched it. Spooky Buddies is a Halloween special in a slew of Buddie movies revolving around a family of talking golden retriever puppies. The buddies set out to defeat an evil warlock and save the town before it's too late. If you have kids or younger siblings watch this movie with them - it's worth it. Just don't blame me if they want a puppy afterwards.
Underrated Halloween movie
https://images.app.goo.gl/wRaePM4L1HHYmBet8
This is such an interesting story and an underrated movie. It's based off of a book/comic series and even got a sequel to the first movie. Hannah is eager to go out trick-or-treating for the first time, but unfortunately, she is stuck with her mean cousin who ends up ditching her in the basement of an old dark house. That's when Scary Godmother shows up to take her to the ultimate Halloween party and have the best Halloween ever. It's a great movie and fun to watch.

Trying to fit in during high-school is hard enough. Imagine throwing in the fact that you're a 5th generation monster hunter and you have to save the world from monsters on Halloween night. With a star-studded cast of Dove Cameron, Katherine McNamara and Luke Benward, this is definitely a movie to watch. Plus the soundtrack is amazing.
