1. Hocus Pocus
“Hocus Pocus” is a classic that takes you back to ‘90s Salem, Massachusetts. Max and his sister Dani roam around their new town with Max’s crush, although he won’t admit to it, Allison. They stumble upon this gross, dilapidated house where Max, like all boys, doesn’t listen to his female friend and ends up setting three witches loose. The characters work till the end of the movie to try to put an end to the witches by obtaining their book of spells. This movie is so high on our list because it is fun, exciting and not to mention one of Sarah Jessica Parker’s best performances. It’s neck and neck with “Sex and the City.”
2. The Nightmare Before Christmas
Coming in at number two on our list is “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” In this incredible stop-motion animated film, the tall, dapper, but not so handsome, Jack Skellington grows tired of the scary and spooky happenings of Halloween. After discovering Christmas Town, filled with love and cheer, Jack becomes so obsessed with the new holiday he schemes to become the leader of it. He thinks so highly of himself, he plans to take reign of Christmas Town by sabotaging Santa Claus. We’re not going to give away the ending, but it takes you on some twists and turns while getting you excited for fall AND the holiday season! So go get your hot chocolate, marshmallows and fuzzy socks for number two on our list.
