This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic hosted by Broke and Bookish is The Top Ten Movies to Get In The Halloween Spirit! I decided to go with movies because Halloween Movies are my absolute favorites! Especially Slasher Films! I also already did a Top Ten Books To Read For Halloween list (which should be updated due to the books I have recently read! So it is like a two in one this week! Also these movies are in no particular order and are a mix of scary, slasher and great kid movies! And I would also like to make it known that the original slasher movies (from the late 70s) are the best! I am obsessed with movies so there are so many more I wish I could add.
SLASHERS
♠ Halloween (1978)
Really any of the movies in this franchise! I love them all and Michael Meyers is my favorite Slasher! Every Halloween Season I make sure that I take a day to marathon all of these movies!
♠ Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
For as long as I can remember I have been obsessed with this movie and also had a huge issue with chainsaws in haunted houses and maizes when younger. I even own this movie on VHS! I do think the other adaptions of this movie are good too!
♠ Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
Someone killing you in your dreams /nightmares is scary shit. Put that together with the fact that Freddy looks creepy as shit.
♠ Friday The 13th (1980)
Another slasher film I know. Jason is just as awesome as the other slashers. Creepy camp setting adds to the fact that there is a killer running around.
HORROR
♠ Poltergeist (1982)
This is the first horror movie I remember ever watching and it scared the crap out of me. The second one is even worst. I have no idea why at the age of 8 my parents thought it would be okay to let me watch this.
♠ Dawn of the Dead (2004)
This is a great Zombie movie. If you want a good laugh though you should watch the 1970s version! Zombies are a must have for Halloween time. Although 28 Days Later is another good one I believe this one is my favorite one!
♠ Darkness Falls (2003)
A scary killer tooth fairy….I think that is enough said.
Family/Child
♠ Addams Family (1991)
This is a classic! I love the Addams Family. I have to say Wednesday is my role model she is just so fantastic. This family is so kooky and so awesome!
♠ Halloweentown (1998)
This is a solid staple to the Halloween season. I love all 4 of the Halloweentown movies and it also shows how awesome Disney Channel Original Movies use to be.
♠ Hocus Pocus (1993)
I have already watched this movie like 5 times this year. If you don’t watch this movie and/or don’t like it I don’t know if we can be friends. This movie is fun and has witches, talking cats and a zombie!
Some Honorable Mentions:
♠ The Village (2004)
♠ Scream (1996)
♠ The Hills Have Eyes (2006)
♠ Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
♠ Sweeney Todd (2007)
What are some of your favorite horror/ Halloween movies to get in the spirit for the holiday?

I can’t do scary movies so I would have to opt for your funnier choices. My TTT List for Halloween
I’m definitely not a fan of scary movies. I’m more of a fan of Hocus Pocus and the Addams Family! 😀
I forgot Halloweentown! My list was mostly family friendly movies, and I forgot Halloweentown. Shame on me. Haha.

The Halloween movies are my favorite movies of all time. I make sure to watch them all this week – I love AMC Fearfest! I also love all the Scream movies. Great list!
All I can handle on this list are the family/child movies. Also Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus were on my list today. 🙂
Darkness Falls looks scary. I haven’t seen that film yet, but I now I guess I have to find me a copy. I also like 30 Days of Night! Imagine being in darkness for 30 days with vampires making a feast of the entire town?! *shivers*
I’m going to stick with the family Halloween movies haha. I’m already creeped out by reading the synopsis of those other films.
Man…I had to double take your comment regarding Chainsaw Massacre. I read that you were obsessed with chainsaws in haunted houses and mazes–and I was like, whaaaat you cray.
Cheers,
joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts
I am not that crazy haha
I forgot about Darkness Falls!
Have seen all but Halloweentown. Scary list 😉 My TTT
