Last year I put together 13 movies for 13 nights of Halloween. This year I am not going to 13 separate posts but rather just one\u00a0post listing the 13 movies that I wrote about last year. Starting tonight you can watch a new family friendly Halloween movie up until the big night that the great pumpkin comes out!<\/p>\n

#1\u00a0The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a Halloween classic. If you don’t find time to watch The Great Pumpkin then you must have many other problems in your life. I am not gonna judge but this is a must watch for any family celebrating Halloween.<\/p>\n

#2\u00a0Double Double\u00a0Toil and Trouble<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Olsen twins are causing mischief in this fun family movie. Back in the day these two twins where everywhere and in all sorts of movies. This Halloween classic is no different.<\/p>\n

#3\u00a0Halloween is Grinch Night<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I never knew that Halloween was also Grinch Night. Stepping away from the classic Christmas story, this Halloween adventure featuring the Grinch will definitely become a yearly favorite after one viewing.<\/p>\n

#4\u00a0Earnest Scared Stupid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was a kid Earnest was one of the funniest guys a kid could watch. Seeing him battle some trolls during Halloween makes this movie just that much better.<\/p>\n

#5\u00a0Monster Squad<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

When a group of kids have to take on some of Universal’s classic monsters you know you’re gonna have a good time. This classic 80’s movie is one of my favorites that can be watched any time of the year, but especially around Halloween.<\/p>\n

#6\u00a0The Addams Family & The Addams Family Values<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

I couldn’t pick one without the other. Both Addams Family movies are classics that are destined to be watched each and every year around the Halloween season.<\/p>\n

#7\u00a0Hocus Pocus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sandersen sisters are a trio of witches that deserve accolades for dealing with snotty kids. This classic Halloween movie will always be one of my favorites and is quickly becoming my daughter’s favorite Halloween movie was well.<\/p>\n

#8\u00a0Monster House<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Monster House is a computer animated movie that is definitely scary for some younger children. It can even be scary for some adults as well.<\/p>\n

#9\u00a0ParaNorman<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

ParaNorman is an excellent film that features a rich and deep story that goes well beyond your normal kids movie. Definitely worth a watch with the kids.<\/p>\n

#10\u00a0Corpse Bride<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop motion animation is some of my favorite animation. The premise behind Corpse Bride is so wonderful that the movie is set perfectly to the Halloween atmosphere.<\/p>\n

#11\u00a0Frankenweenie<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Kinda weird, kinda creepy, but definitely heart warming. It’s in black and white but I think that just adds to the story even more.<\/p>\n

#12\u00a0The Nightmare Before Christmas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you haven’t seen this movie around Halloween or Christmas then I don’t know what’s wrong with you. This movie is perfect for many different reasons and many different seasons.<\/p>\n

#13\u00a0Coraline<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite Halloween movie is Coraline. It is beyond creepy and the other mother steals the show when it comes to villains. I highly recommend watching this one last as I find it to be the best of the bunch, but feel free to mix them up however you see fit!<\/p>\n

So there you have it! My list of 13 movies to watch for 13 nights of Halloween. Enjoy yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
