With spooky season almost upon us, the temptation to stay in and watch Halloween movies is strong. For some, the so-called “classic” Halloween movies can be too scary. Thankfully, many other options still provide the same fun fall atmosphere. Whether you’re looking for a binge-worthy movie series, a Disney classic or a comedic autumn watch, there are endless choices available right at your fingertips.
Harry Potter Movie Series (2001-2011)
While the Harry Potter series isn’t exactly a
Halloween watch, the autumn scenery in
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban creates the
ultimate fall vibe. The dim atmospheric lights
of Hogwarts make for a cozy setting, and the delicious
meals of the Great Hall makes it the perfect night for
some homemade pumpkin bread and warm apple
cider.
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Hocus Pocus perfectly captures the spirit of Halloween with a quintessential blend of both trick and treat. A classic Disney movie, Hocus Pocus stirs together nostalgia, mischievousness and an ultimate endearing story about bravery and friendship. Moreover, the setting of Salem, a well-known witch town, ties in the perfect energy for the Halloween season. Link
Coraline (2009)
Coraline stands out as the ideal fall watch, wrapping
viewers in a mood of spooky charm. Its inspiring stop-motion
animation, along with the creepy, entrancing story,
catches the spirit of the days getting shorter and
shadows growing longer. Coraline makes you want to
curl up under a blanket, enjoy the cool, fresh air, and engross
yourself in the blend of awe and unease that makes
autumn so gripping.
