Favorite Halloween Movies and Music

Day 14

 

Hello Seekers!

 

So let's talk favorites. Growing up I remember trying to start a family tradition that never really caught on. It all started one year when we were carving pumpkins. As we were performing mass murder at the kitchen table, my mom popped a CD into the CD player to set the mood. Before I knew it we were ripping out pumpkin guts to the tune of Monster Mash and One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater. Good times.

 

After that I tried to make sure that we listened to it every year but like I said before it didn't really become a tradition. If I have my way, my kids will get to enjoy these tunes as I teach them the ancient art of dissecting pumpkins. *evil laugh* *que lightning flash*

 

As far as Halloween music goes I also like Love Potion #9 and Werewolves of London.

 

Onto the movies.

 

My favorite Halloween flick of all time and possibly forever is Hocus Pocus! I was too little to understand half of the stuff in this movie but now that I'm older I absolutely love it! Every single character in this flick is hilarious. The three witches looking for revenge, the 'too cool for school" older brother, the "annoying" little sister, the girl of said brothers dreams, the two neighborhood hooligans, and the clueless parents. But there are two characters left unmentioned one being talking cat and the other being a living spell book. Both of them steal the show.

 

 

Other Halloween Fav's include Nightmare Before Christmas, Addams Family *snapsnap*, Casper, Casper meets Wendy, and Halloweentown 1&2. I recently came across GhostBusters  - which I haven't seen. I know! stop screaming! its on my ta-do list along with the 5 missing posts and the rest of the Halloween themed additions. Once I've seen it i'll let you know.

 

For someone who looks forward to Halloween at the beginning of August every year, I hate scary things. I scare so easily. This is one of the reasons who don't see any "mature" Halloween choices among these lists. I'm trying to ease my way into the scary realm of Halloween but i'm not diving in all at once.

 

I want to know you're Halloween favorites. Have any suggestions for me?
