With Halloween now upon us, everyone is excited for a night full of parties and trick-or-treating. Whether you plan on having a night of fun or a night of horror, there’s no better way to get in the Halloween spirit than a movie marathon. Ranging from horror films to classic family films, here’s a list of the best Halloween movies to watch this year:

Halloweentown– The perfect movies for a fun movie marathon are the Halloweentown movies: Halloweentown, Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown. These movies are perfect for families as well as teens who want to revisit their favorite childhood movies. There’s no better way to get into the Halloween spirit than to watch the Piper kids’ adventures in the magical realm of Halloweentown.

Hocus Pocus– Another great Disney movie for Halloween is Hocus Pocus. This classic film is a bit scarier than the Halloweentown movies, but is still kid friendly. The movie explores the supernatural as three witches are resurrected in Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween night and stir up spooky trouble

Halloween– For those people who are looking forward to a scare, Halloween is an obvious choice. This suspenseful film about a psychotic killer wreaking havoc on his hometown will put you on edge and have you shaking in your seat. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, it’s a great movie to set the mood for a terrifying Halloween night.

Ouija– Another scary movie is the new film Ouija. It is new to theaters and would be perfect for people who want to go out and see a movie on Halloween instead of trick-or-treating or attending a party. This film deals with the supernatural as a group of friends must confront their most terrifying fears after awakening the dark powers of an ancient spirit board, so it is perfect for Halloween night.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown– A great family film for spending Halloween night at home or watching before you leave to trick-or-treat is the television special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. This film is not scary in the least and perfect for a fright-free Halloween. The movie follows the Peanuts gang as they celebrate Halloween while Linus waits for the Great Pumpkin. It is a Halloween classic and perfect for families as well.

The Nightmare Before Christmas– A great film for older children and teenagers is The Nightmare Before Christmas. This film is still great for families, but is a bit on the creepier side and might not be the best for the young audience that can watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. In the film, Jack Skellington, king of Halloweentown, discovers Christmas Town, but doesn’t quite understand the concept of the other holiday. As a result, the stop motion classic is also a great transition film into the winter holidays.
