Our Favorite Halloween Movies

POST BY OLG NEWSWIRE

Happy Halloween! Whether you’re in the mood for a classic horror flick, a nostalgic Halloween favorite or something that’s more fun than frightening, there’s no shortage of movies that make October feel a little more spooky.

So, in the spirit of the season, we asked the OLG team to share their favorite Halloween movies. Here are the films we’ll be reaching for when the lights go down and the popcorn comes out.

The Blair Witch Project

“Growing up a ’90s kid, this was the first documentary-style movie we ever saw. There were no actual monsters, no gore, no death scenes. Just subtle ‘unseen terror’ that left you psychologically scarred. I’m still not sure if it’s real or not.” — Allie


Ghostbusters

“So many scenes from that movie are ingrained in my brain since I was a kid, when I’d request it to be played at birthday parties. Also, it has Rick Moranis.” — Jake

Complete with a movie poster Jake imagined for an art show a few years back.

“My sister and I used to watch this delightfully cheesy, nostalgic Disney Channel Original Movie every year (and maybe still do). After all, ‘Being Normal Is Vastly Overrated.’” — Bridget

“I didn’t remember how much I enjoyed the first Hocus Pocus movie until the second came out and I was able to experience them both with my kids. It’s becoming a mini family tradition to project these movies outside while we camp over fall break.” — Michelle

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

“I’m not actually much for scary, scary movies; however, we were always Peanuts fans as kids.” — Michelle


The Nightmare Before Christmas

“Is it a Halloween or Christmas movie? Answer: It’s a year-round movie. I’m also very fond of Coraline, Corpse Bride, Halloweentown, and Hocus Pocus.” — Jasmine


“I first discovered this about eight years ago and haven’t missed a fall watch-through since. The music is incredible, the whimsy is off the charts, it’s funny, and the story carries far more meaning than you’d expect. I love everything about this miniseries.” — John

Widow’s Bay

“I’m not really a scary movie guy, even if it’s a spoof of scary movies, and definitely not a horror fan. So Widow’s Bay took me right to the edge—but I ultimately found it massively watchable, beautifully shot and acted, and just endlessly enjoyable. Lives up to the hype, and worth the time.” — Matt
