I don’t know why I haven’t thought to share my favorite Halloween movies with you yet! As you know, this is my FAVORITE holiday, so there is literally only Halloween style movies and shows on the TV all month.
Here’s the thing, I don’t think I really have a single favorite…I have favorites just based on my mood, time of day, and the weather outside. I’m sure you can relate ;)
With that being said, that is why I broke it up into categories. Because some days I just want a good throwback, another day I want an easy watch (kid movie), or maybe I want a good gory one. I oddly do not really include many psychological style thrillers/horrors. Growing up those freaked me out the most and for some reason, I never really go to them to watch during Halloween.
So, here my favorite Halloween movies, some may be missing for you (like IT, Nightmare Before Christmas, etc).. although still good, I just don’t watch them ;)
