Can you believe Halloween is this week? Cue the spooky music, and let’s get this party started!
I’m sharing with you today a comprehensive list of Halloween movies for you to have the ultimate Halloween movie night! I sorted these movies out in sections, so there’s something for everyone!
You’ll find the rating beside each movie, and I’ve included the Parents Guide via IMDB for each movie just in case you have little ones and aren’t sure if they should watch them or not. I’ve also written where they can be streamed online via a subscription as of the time I wrote this post. For the ones left blank, I unfortunately couldn’t find a streaming service for it or you had to rent/buy it separately.
As an added bonus, what would a Halloween movie night be without all of the food? I’ve compiled a list of my favorite salty and sweet treats, along with appetizers, and Halloween-themed treats I found from awesome bloggers.
You can find grab my printable movie list right here! I hope you find some of your favorite movies as well as some news ones that you’ll love.

What a great list!
I really want to watch quite a few on this list. Hocus pocus being the top of the list for us.
I am loving your snack suggestions too, yum!
Thank you, Claire!! Yes, Hocus Pocus is my favorite too. So happy you enjoyed the post! 😊
Your picks are so good! I always have to watch Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus. It isn’t Halloween unless I do!
Ashlee | https://www.maybeafterbrunch.com
Aww, thank you, Ashlee!! I am with you on those two!!
I’m going to have to go through these and try the ones we haven’t watched yet. We are huge horror movie fans here.. and Scooby-Doo. When the kids were younger we owned on dvd pretty much every movie and tv season ever made. My kids were obsessed with Scooby and since these were my favorites growing up, I was loving it. Lauren and I then graduated to the Vampire Diary series which we watched in it’s entirety together. That was lots of fun. Now of course, we all watch the really scary movies.
I hope you find some good ones that you’ll enjoy! 😊 Scooby-Doo was always a favorite for me growing up, and I’m sure when I have kids, I’ll have them watching it too! I miss Vampire Diaries a lot, it was a great show! Did you and Lauren ever watch The Originals? It was a good spin off of Vampire Diaries.
You inspired me. I am currently trying to convince my boyfriend to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas while eating some popcorn. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
