The best Halloween movies blend nostalgia, charm, and a touch of spookyness, perfect for setting the seasonal mood. Four standouts that have become staples for October marathons are Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
Hocus Pocus (1993) remains a cult classic, following the Sanderson sisters as they wreak havoc in modern-day Salem. Its humor, camp, and iconic performances make it endlessly rewatchable. Halloweentown (1998), a Disney Channel gem, offers a magical escape into a world where everyday life centers on broomsticks, spells, and friendly monsters, ideal for younger viewers.
Tim Burton’s, The Nightmare Before Christmas brings a unique mix of Halloween and Christmas, pairing stunning stop-motion animation with unforgettable songs. Its whimsical darkness appeals to kids and adults alike. Meanwhile, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) captures the heart of autumn with sweetness and simplicity, as Linus patiently awaits the mythical pumpkin while the Peanuts gang enjoys their Halloween night.
