October is going by quick and what better way to get into the Halloween spirit than to watch all of the classic movies? Get your popcorn ready and re-live your childhood with these fun flashbacks!

1. HalloweentownWho doesn’t want to watch a movie about a town dedicated to Halloween? Yes, please! When the main character, Marnie, finds out she is a witch, she also finds a secret portal that leads to, you guessed it, Halloweentown!

2. Hocus PocusAnother classic Disney Halloween favorite is Hocus Pocus.

3. Charlie Brown Halloween SpecialFollow Charlie Brown and his friends on another one of their adventures, but this time it features Halloween and pumpkins! Two of the best things about the month of October.

4. CasperIt’s nice to hear about a friendly ghost once in a while. This storyline follows a girl and her father as they explore a house inhabited by Casper and three other mischievous ghosts.

5. Double Double Toil and TroubleMary Kate and Ashley Olsen are at it again. This time, they play the roles of two sisters who find out that their aunt is actually a witch, who also happens to be responsible for all of the family’s troubles. The tag-team twins must save their family from their evil aunt.

6. Mom’s Got a Date with a VampireBrother and sister, Adam and Chelsea, are both grounded and will do anything to get their mom out of the house for night. When she finally makes plans, their younger brother, Taylor, realizes mom’s date is with a vampire. The three must try to get their mom away!

7. Phantom of the MegaplexThis spin on the famous movie Phantom of the Opera is the story of three siblings.  One of the kids works at a mysterious movie theater. The three must find who is haunting the cinema!

 

8. ANY of the Harry Potter MoviesAlthough all 7 of the Harry Potter movies are suitable to binge watch during 12 months of the year, they are most appropriate during October because Harry is a wizard, after all. The series follows Harry Potter and his two best friends on all of their crazy adventures around Hogwarts, their school of witchcraft and wizardry.
