Classic Halloween Movies

Halloween is right around the corner and that means we will be surrounded with all sorts of festive decorations and candies. But the best treat is the perfect excuse to watch some of our favorite movies. Old, beloved, classic Halloween movies such as The Nightmare Before Christmas, Casper and The Addams Family is the best option.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an old favorite imagined by creepy and goth imagination of Tim Burton. The main character, Jack Skellington is bored with his town’s strictly-Halloween styled ways, and decides to change things up a bit by redecorating the holiday with Christmas cheer. The plot is interesting, but the main attraction of the film is the eye-catching, morbid creations, and how Burton eerily displays the mix of the two holidays. This movie is very popular for a reason, and is definitely worth a watch.

Casper is a classic that is perfect for the whole family to watch. Kat and her father, a psychiatrist are drawn to a haunted house where Casper, the child ghost and his uncles live. Kat and Casper have a connection and end up falling in love. The film’s cartoonish plot and style entertains kids. A few adult jokes are also slipped in for the parents to enjoy. This family-friendly movie is great for all ages to enjoy during the holiday season.

The Addams Family is one of the most endeared Halloween movies. The characters in this film are the lovable ghouls, the Addamses in the classic 1960s sitcom. This creepy and kooky family faces con artists trying to steal the family’s fortune and come across their long lost relative, Uncle Fester. The plot is slender, but the humor and one-liners by the perfectly revised characters make the whole film. This Halloween movie is funny, entertaining and can be enjoyed throughout the whole year, but the eerie style fits best around Halloween time.

These are all such great movies. The visuals, humor, and overall creepy feel make these films especially ideal to watch around Halloween time.
