5 Spooky yet Whimsical Movies for Fall

Because we all like a cozy setting with a hint of something lurking in the dark, right?

7 Spooky Autumn Films

This is a response to From the Crypt: Obscure Scary Movies for Fall.

When you Google "fall movies," the first thing you'll likely see is a long list of romcoms set in quaint, fall foliage-filled towns. The next is probably several horror movies that take place on or around Halloween. But what about when you're in the mood something in between? A cozy fall setting, with just a touch of eeriness? Here are five movies to scratch that specific dark yet whimsical itch.

Ginger Snaps

Ginger Snaps tells the story of two outcast teen sisters dealing with the pains of coming of age- and one of them getting bitten by a werewolf. The exploration of girlhood in all it's tenderness and darkness makes this film a perfect watch if your genre of choice is "cozy with an edge."

The Craft

No whimsical-yet-spooky movie list would be complete without The Craft. This cult-classic explores the beauty of teenage girlhood and the special bonds made at that age through the lens of witchcraft.

Over the Garden Wall

Yes, this is technically a TV show. But with only 10 episodes clocking in at 11 minutes each, it's easy to binge. The story centers on two brothers lost in a strange forest, who must find their way home before being caught by a mysterious beast.

The Love Witch

This screenshot alone may make the best case for this movie. Beautiful costumes, lavish sets, and lots of blood and gore abound in this tale of a young witch looking for a fairytale romance.

Coraline

"Coraline"Laika

Coraline is a dark fantasy classic for good reason. The cute characters and whimsical animation style balance out the eerie tale of a young girl who discovers a seemingly perfect alternate world, only to discover its full of dark surprises.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

George Mason University

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
