Halloween is creeping up on us…it’s sooner than we think! I don’t know about you but I LOVE Halloween Movies and I thought it would be fun to share them with you. Then I would LOVE to hear what yours are! Now remember…the top ten movies here are my favorites so some of them are not suited for kids. I am adding some bonus movies that I love that didn’t make the list and a list of kid movies that my children loved and still love!

Number 1: Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II
The Original Ghostbusters is by far my favorite Halloween Movie and favorite movie of all time! Yes…if I was stranded on a Desert Island with only one movie to watch for eternity…”Who You Going To Call…GHOSTBUSTERS”. If by any chance you haven’t seen this movie…please do…it will make you laugh…and then laugh again and again. Bill Murray as Peter Venkman is also my favorite movie character of all time!  This movie is amusing…fast moving…unique and a touch scary. Ghostbusters also has the buddy comedy touch…a splash or romance…ghosts…a touch of nerd…ok more than a touch of lovable nerd….fun…excitement…the bad guy …proton packs…everything that makes an incredible movie. When you think it was made in the 80’s…it is pretty amazing! This is one that I will never ever grow out of! Ghostbusters II is you guessed it a close second but I am counting them both as my number 1!

Number 2:Â Hocus-Pocus
This one is just filled with fun x3! Plus…the perfect ending!

Number 3:Â Young Frankenstein
Mel Brooks at his finest. It just doesn’t get much better than this original and hilarious movie. It will go down in the books as a classic and it will leave you laughing. If you haven’t see this one yet…put it on your must see list and let Gene Wilder…Peter Boyle and Marty Feldman entertain you this Halloween!

Number 4:Â Addams Family Values
Yes…I am rating this one above the First Adams Family Movie! You have to see what Gomez and Mortisha are up to and find out why Wednesday and Pugsly are not too please! They may be creepy and spooky and all together ooky but they do funny as only the Addams Family can!

Number 5:Â Shaun of the Dead
One of the funniest, goriest and down right amazing movies ever! Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are fantastic and never fail to make movie magic! Make sure to tuck in your kids before playing this one.

Number 6:Â Scream
If you haven’t seen it and love to be scared…then you really have to see it and then all the others! You are guaranteed to SCREAM!!! This will not be one that you watch with the kids!

Number 7:Â Psycho
It’s a classic! It’s an oldie…but stands the hand of time…the original is the one to see…NO one does Norman Bates like Tony Perkins! Oh…side effect: You will be taking baths instead of showers for awhile!

Number 8:Â Para Norman
If you are looking for a heartfelt, touching and creepy cute movie to watch with your kids this Halloween; look no further than ParaNorman! This stop action movie will become an instant family favorite for years to come!

Number 9: The ‘Burbs
In my opinion, this is Tom Hanks’ finest movie ever! The ‘Burbs is both eerie and hilarious at the same time!

Number 10:Â Abbot and Costello Meets Frankenstein
There are few movies that hold up as well as this one! This is the perfect way to introduce your kids to these comedy legends, as well as the classic Universal movie monsters!!!
