Halloween is in just 7 days! This means you only have one week left to cram in all of the best halloween movies before the Halloween season is over! I am huge supporter of Halloween. I love carving pumpkins,eating candy corn, and of course I love dressing up for halloween some of my favorite costumes from the past are a bunny, a cat, an artist , the little mermaid, belle, rainbow bright, and this year I am being Kate Middleton. Here is a list of 7 movies that are a must see this Halloween Season!


7.Casper ( 1995) :This lovely Halloween classic stars Christina Ricci. Ricci's Character Kat is a teenager who moves into an old spooky house with her paranormal expert father.  At this house Kat meets a friendly ghost named Casper and his two not so friendly brothers.It is up to Casper and Kat to protect the house and the ghosts who live there.
*Ps- Can I just say how cute Casper is as a young boy? didn't we all have a crush on him? I mean seriously.

6.Ghostbusters (1984):  Three unemployed parapsychology professors create a bussiness called "Ghostbusters."These three men tackle some of the worlds most dangerous ghosts on the streets of New York City. The ghost busters (Murry, Aykroyd and Ramis ) are hired by a woman(weaver) to get rid of a ghost at her home, however this ghost is no regular ghost it is a demon! The Ghostbusters have to figure out a way to destroy the demon , before the demon destroys the city.
This movie stars Bill Murry, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver. 

5. Beetle Juice (1988) :Under the direction of Tim Burton, starring Michael Keaton (as Beetle Juice), Geena Davis (As Barbra Maitland) , Alec Baldwin (Adam Maitland) and Winnoa Ryder (as Lydia Deetz) is the story of Beetle Juice. Barbra and Adam are a newly deceased couple who consult a "bio exorcist" Called Beetle Juice to get rid of the Lydia and her family, who have moved into the Maitland's home. 
*Remember never say Beetle Juice more than three times!

4. Halloweentown(1998): A Disney Channel Original Movie starring Debbie Reynolds as Aggie Cromwell. The movie begins on all Hallow's Eve , Aggie visits her grand children in the mortal world. Aggie wants her Daughter, Gwen (Judith Hoag) to tell her children they are witches and help her fight the evil back in Halloweentown. Gwen refuses, she wants her children to be normal. However Marnie ( Kimberly J. Brown) hears her grandmother and mother's conversation and follows her grandmother onto a bus (along with her sister Sophie and brother Dillion.) to Halloweentown! Join the whole Cromwell clan on adventure of good vs. evil!
*some would argue that is not a classic, they are obvisouly mistaken.

3. It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
From the talented writer Charles Schulz is another adventure of Charlie Brown and whole peanuts gang. It is Halloween night and Linus decides instead of trick or treatings to wait in the pumpkin patch for the "Great Pumpkin."
*I wish I had faith in things like Linus does! He is a very committed person.

2. Practical Magic(1998):This Whimsical movie stars Oscar winners Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman) Owens aren't just sisters, they are witches. The sisters are raised by their Aunts; Frances (Stockard Channing) & Bridget (Dianne Wiest) after their parents death.  The Owen woman come from a powerful bloodline of witches and inheriatted more than just magical powers. The Owen woman are cursed, every man who falls in love with an Owen woman is doomed to an untimley death. Sally and Gillian must use all their wits and powers to fight not only the family curse but the supernatural forces that threaten their lives.
 *This is one of my all time favorite movies , that teaches you to be proud of where you came, never be afraid to be who you are, be pratical with your craft and fall in love whenever you can.

1. Hocus Pocus(1993 ): If you only have time for one Halloween movie, I strongly encourage watching this enchanting film!  After 300 hundred years the three Sanderson sisters are resurrected on Halloween night in Salem Massachusetts after Max Denison lights the black flame candle. The Three Sisters Winifred (Bette Midler ), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Mary(Kathy Najimy) try to take over Salem by luwering children to their home and sucking the life out of them. It is up to Max, his little sister Dani (Thora Birch), his crush Allison and an immortal talking cat name Binx to fight off the three sisters before it's too late.
  *"Come little children, I'll take thee away into land of Enchantment."

Happy All Hallow's Eve everyone!
