Oh my! There are so many good ones! I’ll have to get back to you on this one. Thanks for asking, though. I’ll have a chance to find something new along with old faves.

Hmm, I’d have to say for this year, at least it was Monster Squad and Something Wicked This Way Comes. But it probably changes every year, and I’ve not got through all my holiday watching yet. LOL!

I love love love all the Halloween Town movies! I watch them every October many times over, usually with at least one of the four grandkids.
I also watch all of the Halloween movies (excluding the 3rd one). And all of the Friday the 13th movies. And can’t forget Hocus Pocus!

I always go classic Disney. I actually had ChatGPT curate a list of classic Disney Halloween movies specifically for the last 13 days of the month (13 of course) and give me snack ideas for each move based on my location, so would just pick up a snack on the way home and then have my movie night! If anyone wants that list for next year, let me know!

Ok. Here’s why this question is so difficult for me. I have 1343 Halloween type movies, few of which are gory or murderous. Faves are The Craft, Kiki’s Delivery Service, When Good Ghouls Go Bad, Casper, Child of Glass, and America’s Most Haunted Town. These include episodes of Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Munsters, Addams Family, and Looney Tunes all the way to Edgar Allan Poe; mad scientists, ghosts, prestidigitation, witches, haunted objects or houses, and monsters; ghost hunters to historical witch hunts; Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Brendan Frasier, Drew Barrymore, and Boris Karloff.
I once had someone tell me that if a movie wasn’t rated R, it wasn’t any good. They are missing soooo much!

My favorite movie of all time, the one that touched me the deepest, is Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It’s a masterpiece that connects fantasy and truth in a way no other film ever has. I’ve watched it thirty, maybe forty times, and I can see every moment in my mind the music, the costumes, the emotions. But it’s the story itself that truly takes my breath away.
I spent a month in Romania once. They’ve built quite a legend around Dracula there. People often say Bran Castle is his home, but that’s not true. It was only the place where Vlad was once held captive. The Romanians are proud of him because he fought bravely against the Turks, using the mountains to his advantage so the enemy had nowhere to run.
And that arrow through the window, the letter to Elisabetha it all really happened. I feel such a deep connection to that story. The film breathes, it lives, it reveals what life can be when you look beyond the veils of illusion.
