Get out the candy corn and be ready to celebrate Halloween with a set of spooky movies! With the event around the corner, it is time to kick back with old school throwback flicks that will deliver jump scares and gore. Here are the Top 5 must watch Halloween movies of 2016!
Halloweentown is an all time favorite and a good movie to watch if you are not a big fan of horror films. The film is based on a 13 year old girl named Marnie who is trained to become a witch. Her and her 3 brothers runaway to their Halloween-loving grandma and discover many hidden secrets along the way. This movie was one of my favorites growing up and I highly recommend it. It is perfect for all ages and a great family film.
If you are into horror and fright, then Scream is the movie for you. An all time halloween classic based on teenagers living in a small town where people are getting murdered. A girl and her friends set out on a mission to find the killer but not everyone survives… The film is an iconic 90s slasher movie, with its shocking opening scene and its frightening jump scare action. This movie is surely the one to check out this halloween.
Casper the Friendly Ghost, who lived in a Haunted Mansion called Whipstaff Manor. Along with his three obnoxious, ghostly uncles Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso. He has been hoping to find a friend for over 100 years and goes on a journey he will never forget. This movie is a great if you enjoy a bit of fright with a twist of a kid friendly feel. I would recommend this movie 100 percent on a fun halloween night with your friends.
Hocus pocus is a classic Halloween movie. More than 300 years ago, 3 witches were sentenced to die in Salem, Massachusetts and a boy was turned into a black cat. Now it is Halloween, and the witches are back and this time, they have got their eyes on immortal life and have turned their wrath on trick-or-treaters. It is up to the 300-year-old cat to save the day.
And last but not least, Twitches. The movie is based on two teenage twin sisters who were separated at birth and soon discover their magical powers on their 21st birthday. They enter a magical world to fight the forces of evil and discover powers they never knew they had. I extremely recommend this movie because it is sure an awesome one to check out.
