It’s crazy that Halloween is going to be here in less than two weeks! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love being able to watch all the great Halloween movies that are on T.V. as well as bringing out my girls trick or treating. I wanted to share with you a list of some of the movies I came up with for Halloween. These are some great must watch movies for Halloween. I’ve seen them all and love these! I hope that you find some on the list that you love as well. Maybe you’ll find some you haven’t seen yet either!
Family/Children:
Hocus Pocus is my number one favorite movie that comes out for Halloween. I remember watching this one all the time when I was little. I look forward to seeing this one on T.V. every year around Halloween. After three centuries, three witch sisters are resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween night, and it is up to two teenagers, a young girl and an immortal cat to put an end to the witches’ reign of terror once and for all.
Casper was probably the first movie I ever watched with ghosts in it. I can still remember watching this movie when I was little. It’s been so long since I have seen this one, which makes me want to watch it soon! A paranormal expert and his daughter bunk in an abandoned house populated by three mischievous ghosts and one friendly one.
I watched the Goosebumps movie for the first time a few days ago and loved it! This one is on Netflix, so it’s perfect for Halloween! A teenager teams up with the daughter of young adult horror author R. L. Stine after the writer’s imaginary demons are set free on the town of Madison, Delaware.
It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is another one of my favorites. It’s a great classic that I love to watch each year. This is a great one for kids too. This timeless classic from Charles M. Shultz and Bill Melendez is remastered and features many heartwarming scenes. Also included are the bonus episodes It’s Magic, Charlie Brown and Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is another great classic movie. Kids can enjoy this one as well. This is one of those movies that you just can’t stop watching, at least for me it is. A perfect movie for Halloween for families! Jack Skellington, king of Halloween Town, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn’t quite understand the concept.
I remember seeing Corpse Bride in the movie theater for the first time. It’s another great Tim Burton movie that has Johnny Depp as one of the character voices. When a shy groom practices his wedding vows in the inadvertent presence of a deceased young woman, she rises from the grave assuming he has married her.
Halloweentown is a great movie for families to watch together. I’m looking forward to watching this one with my family this year. I think my girls are going to love it. After learning she is a witch, a girl (Kimberly J. Brown) helps save a town full of other supernatural creatures.
Adult:
Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors. He plays a great role in Edward Scissorhands. This is another older movie that I really love to watch. A gentle man, with scissors for hands, is brought into a new community after living in isolation.
I remember watching The Craft for the first time many years ago when I was younger. I would watch this one often because I loved it. I haven’t seen this one in a while, but I’m looking forward to seeing it again! A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft and they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who even slightly anger them.
Halloween is probably one of the top classic Halloween movies of all time. On Halloween night of 1963, six-year-old Michael Myers stabbed his sister to death. After sitting in a mental hospital for 15 years, Myers escapes and returns to Haddonfield to kill.
The original Ghostbusters movie is a great one. If you haven’t seen this one yet, I hope that you take the time to watch it. I love the original one! Three former parapsychology professors set up shop as a unique ghost removal service.
Scream is where you’re first introduced to the killer with the mask! This mask is so well known now days. Sidney, attempting to cope with her mother’s mysterious murder, and her horror movie-obsessed friends are stalked by an unknown killer who seems to have a hard time letting the past go.
There are a ton of Halloween movies out there to watch. These are just a few of my favorites. I could make a list that could go on forever. I hope that you enjoy the list and maybe see some that you haven’t seen yet.
Have you seen any of these movies? Do you have a favorite Halloween movie you love to watch?
This is a great list and you have listed some of my favourites! I haven’t seen Goosebumps or Halloweentown! Ill have to check them out this year!
Those are some good ones! I just recently saw Goosebumps and it’s a good one.
These are all great picks. I actually watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween AND Christmas. It’s awesome.
It sure is! One of my favorites.
My kids loved watching the Goosebumps movie. Netflix has a great selection of Halloween movies to choose from.
They really do! I love Netflix!
We love watching The Nightmare Before Christmas all year long. Halloween Town is a great series of movies the kids always enjoy.
I love watching that one a lot as well. You can watch it all year round because it’s a good one.
The original Ghostbusters movie is my favorite Halloween time movie to watch. There are so many great ones on Netflix.
There sure are. I love Netflix!
I remember watching It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown every year when I was growing up. It was my Moms favorite.

We just watches Corpse Bride last night. I love the selection Netflix has for the whole family.

Hocus Pocus is one of my favorite movies. Like not even Halloween, just anytime of the year. My daughter could watch Nightmare After Christmas.
Me too! I love Hocus Pocus!
All great Halloween movies! My faves are Ghostbusters and Nightmare Before Christmas!
I love those ones too.
YES! Some of my favorites are on that list! Would it even be Halloween without watching Hocus Pocus?
Right! I love Hocus Pocus, it’s my favorite!
Pretty sure I’ve led a sheltered life, the only one I’ve seen on this list is Charlie Brown. Some friends were discussing Halloweentown, had never heard of it until that convo.
You must see Hocus Pocus at least! It’s the best Halloween movie.
My husband always like “The Craft.”
This is a good list overall.
I love that movie. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it though.
Ooooooo! Some seriously good classics. I think Halloween town is one of my favorites!
That is a really good one. I love to watch that one each year.
I think I have seen every one of these movies. I love horror movies. I’m going to have to watch some of these again.
I love horror movies as well!
These are all great movies. I remember watching Charlie Brown every Halloween growing up and continued the tradition with my kids.
I always watched that one as a kid as well. I’m going to have my girls start watching it too. I’m sure they’ll love it.
Edward Scissorhands is one of my favorite movies ever. I love Halloween movies too that are family friendly.
I love that one too!
I can handle Casper and I love Hocus Pocus, but anything scary is too much for me! This Hallloween I’m 9 months pregnant- no scary movies for me!
Most of the ones I have listed are not really scary. 🙂
Love all the movies on your list! You’ve picked some of my favorites!
Thanks! I had to add some great ones!

These are definitely some great movies for Halloween! Edward Scissorhands, Hocus Pocus and Ghostbusters are a few of our faves!
Same here! Hocus Pocus will always be my favorite.
I love all of these movies! And I would add the Ghostbusters movie, too. We watched it yesterday! Loved it.
I love that one! Both the older ones and the newer ones.
Goosebumps is about as scary as I get these days. I grew up watching all horror flicks and had a bad fear of them so I don’t watch them anymore.
I loved Goosebumps as a kid! I watch all the episodes.
We still love the old Halloween movies! We bet that the kids will also love them.
Same here! I’m sure my girls are going to love them all.
Ooh I’m loving this list! So many classic movies here! Hocus Pocus is one of my favs!
Mine too! I watch that every year.
I bet ny kids would enjpy these Jalloween movies. My youngest was watching the Halloween Curious George yesterday on Netflix.
That’s a great one for kids. My girls loved that one too.
I have seen all of those movies and they are all perfect for celebrating Halloween. My favorite ones are Hocus Pocus and the Halloweentown movies.
Mine too! Hocus Pocus is the best!
We just watched Practical Magic. It’s a bit older but was pretty good with a nice spooky edge.
I love that one too!
It wouldn’t be Halloween without the Great Pumpkin!
We watched Ghostbusters last night, {the new one} and it made me really want to watch the original again too. I need to add a few of these suggestions to my to watch list!
I watched the new Ghostbusters not long ago too. It was a good one!
I watch Halloween and Halloween 2 every Halloween. It’s still so fun!
I agree! Love those Halloween movies too.
The only movie I have watched in your list is the Scream. I will check the others on demand if it’s available.
You must watch Hocus Pocus. It’s so good!
I can’t wait to watch Charlie Brown Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas editions. LOL! It’s like the official movie for each holiday. – Yolonda
I agree! I love all the Charlie Brown movies.
