10 Unforgettable Halloween Movies You Must Watch this October

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Brisk mornings, the feeling of leaves crunching beneath your feet, pumpkin-flavored everything and horror movie marathons streaming endlessly on the TV. If you’re anything like me, you love bundling up in a warm blanket on the couch to enjoy the movie marathons playing throughout October. If you’re having trouble deciding what to watch, check out the list below for Halloween-themed movies to get you into the Halloween spirit!

Hocus Pocus: Everyone knows you can’t go wrong with this Halloween classic. It’s a movie great for all ages that never grows old, much like the Sanderson sisters. If you’re not the proud owner of the DVD, check it out on Freeform’s 13 Nights of Halloween.
Halloweentown: Who, as a child, didn’t wish their mom and grandma were secret witches and a whole other world of creepy creatures existed? Come on, I can’t be the only one!
Rocky Horror Picture Show: Dammit, Janet! Bonus points if you go to a live showing and dress up!
The Nightmare Before Christmas: A movie that’s about Halloween and Christmas? What could be better?
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!: A classic for all ages.
Ghostbusters: Bill-effing-Murray. Enough said.
Scream: A serial killer slasher movie is a must for October.
The Shining: What’s more Halloween-ish than a haunted hotel that brings out the crazy in its guests? Stephen King is truly a horror genius.
Beetlejuice: Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!
The Exorcist: If exorcisms don’t freak you out, check out this movie that’ll be sure to make your head turn. See what I did there?

My October Goals/Bucket List

New month, new goals! Too often do I find myself creating goals for myself, but I never write them down! Instead, I end up remembering them a few weeks later and try pushing them off until the next month. That’s about to change starting now! Take a look at the list below for all of my goals I wish to accomplish this month.
