Happy Halloween! In the spirit of the season, we compiled a list of some of our favorite Halloween-like movies (and other spooky merriments)—in no particular order.
“I’m not actually much for scary, scary movies, however, we were always Peanuts fans as kids.”Michelle Love a
“The music is amazing. I also love how they are totally unaware of how odd they are. ‘Are they made with real girl scouts.’ is also quoted often in our home.”Olivia Fabian

“Not much for scary movies, but when I was a kid I sure loved the song The Monster Mash when it would blast out of the oldies radio in the barn, every October.

I can’t.’“These days, I’m grateful that Werewolves of London is playing somewhere, sometime, 365 days a year.”‘I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic’s; his hair was perfect. Ahooooo, werewolves of London…’“Oh, and Mr. Zevon’s interview on The Late Show with David Letterman, recorded shortly before his death, is worth your time.”— Matt Kelley, principal
