That time of year is here: sitting inside on a chilly day, snuggled up in a sweater with hot cider or, my personal "white girl" favorite, pumpkin spice latte. But the only thing left to add to the fabulous essence of Fall is a good Halloween movie. And no worries, I'm a wuss too, so here are the 20 best Halloween movies from "Awww" to "AHHHH!!!"
20. "The Shining" (1980)
Mental twister to start it off. Almost 3 hours of plot twists
19. "Casper" (1995)
The friendly ghost we all wanted to be friends with when we were little.
18. "The Amityville Horror" (1979)
Who doesn't love a haunted house for Halloween?
17. "Children of the Corn" (1984)
Creepy, cult-y, children.
16. "Bettle Juice" (1988)
Whatever you do, don't say it three times.
15. "The Haunted Mansion" (2003)
Another haunted house that takes you through all of the emotions.
14. "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974)
Gore to the core.
13. "The Exorcist" (1973)
Demon possessed children? Count me in? I guess...
12. "Hotel Transylvania" (2012)
With Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez, you're safe.
11. "Ghostbusters" (1984)
Sarcasm at full blast. DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS.
10. "The Conjuring" (2013)
A newer classic, for sure. Oh! And its based on a true story. YAY!
9. "Halloweentown" (1998)
The OG Disney Channel aligned the stars with this old gem.
8. "Monster House" (2006)
Creepy old man dies and his house is "alive"? It's a cartoon, what's the worst that can happen?
7. "The Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)
Another gory classic that is not to be messed with!
6. "The Addam's Family" (1991)
Wednesday Addams is the sassiest little murderer you'll ever meet.
5. "Sleepy Hollow" (1999)
Johnny Depp as Ichabod Crane hunts down the notorious killer, the Headless Horseman. Scarier than you would think...
4. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993)
A classic mash-up of the best holidays.
3. "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (1966)
Originally a T.V. special, still one of the best classics for the whole family!
2. "Halloween" (1978)
These las two came very close. Halloween is the story of serial killer Michael Myers, the Boogey Man. And we all know, "You can't kill the Boogey Man."
1. "Hocus Pocus" (1993)
And no other could top the list other than "Hocus Pocus"! It will leave you laughing till All Hallows Eve and will leave you wondering, "Why don't we watch this film all year round?"
