Hocus Pocus
This film has gained a massive following since its debut in 1993. When the colonial Sanderson sisters are brought back to life, hilarious and witty dialogue, brilliant acting, and endearing moments ensue, all of which are bound to put a spell on you.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Full of wizards, trolls, dragons, and ghosts, any movie in the Harry Potter franchise is just what you need for Halloween. Just like the books, the movies are magically enjoyable at any age.
Halloweentown
Journey to the city that’s all Halloween, all the time. Halloweentown and its colorful residents make the holiday fun and fascinating. Even though there is a villain on the loose, the heartwarming moments far outweigh the scary ones.
Corpse Bride
A Tim Burton classic, the Corpse Bride chronicles the spooky adventure of a man who not only marries the wrong woman but a dead woman. In Burton-esque fashion, the chilling plot is transformed into a charming and enchanting tale.
Practical Magic
The Owens sisters have magic in their blood, but a curse threatens to destroy their happiness. Their journey just goes to prove that family and friendship are the most powerful magic of all.

The Brothers Grimm
Their fairytales may have inspired some of your favorite Disney movies, but the original stories and how they were collected is actually an eerie tale. Follow the Grimm brothers as they discover how the truth and magic of these tales can appear at any time.
The Addams Family
They may be strange, but the Addams family is a family all the same. That means they go through growing pains, marital disputes, and family squabbles just like everyone else – but with a little more spooky flair.
Edward Scissorhands
Edward has always had scissors for hands and, because of that, he’s always lived separately from others. Can he find love or family despite his physical difference?
