5 Fun Movies to Watch This Halloween

5 Fun Movies to Watch This Halloween - Bookmarks and Popcorns

October month is the month for my spooky buddies. You all know why! It’s the month of Halloween. Of course, we don’t particularly celebrate Halloween in India. It’s not a holiday for us. But years have passed. Earth has revolved a lot more number of times. Cultures have influenced in many ways. Some Indians celebrate Halloween by throwing costume parties. But most of us just sit and watch horror movies just like the rest of the world. Why? Come on! We live in a digital world and our virtual life is more happening than our real life. And when we have a more happening virtual life, we will easily get charmed by the rest of the world and enchanted to join them. I am not saying I am very proud of this aspect of me. I am just saying I know I am not alone in living this life.

If you are shy and ashamed and admit to this part of your life. It’s okay. You don’t have to admit it. Just stick around because, you know, birds of a feather, go crazy together.

Anyway, as I was saying, Halloween time of the year is here. And I am a HUGE fan of Halloween – the costumes, decorations, holidays, candies, going around Trick-or-Treating – Yea, I have never done any of these. What did you think? As I said, I am Indian. The only costume I wear is the Good-Girl costume when some relatives come over. If you don’t understand this, you are probably not Indian. It’s okay, buddy. Hang in there. Getting back, there is one thing I (and all the poor souls who love Halloween but can’t do anything about it) do every Halloween – watch horror/Halloween movies.  

Speaking of movies to watch during Halloween, there are 2 categories – Scary-yet-funny movies and drop-dead-seriously-horror movies. I love both the categories. But every Halloween, I prefer the first category.

So here is my list of top 5 fun movies to watch this Halloween. Get your blankie, get cozy, because it’s about to get spooky. 👻👻👻


5. Ghostbusters (1984/2016)

I know these are two different movies. I am going bold and stating both because some people have not watched the original Ghostbusters and like the 2016 version without any prejudice. Well, I don’t blame them. Firstly, someone dared to reboot the original franchise with an all-women cast. Kudos to that. Secondly, Melissa McCarthy and Chris Hemsworth. Do you need any other reason? Of course, the original version had the legendary Bill Murray and it was an amazing movie. I personally like both movies and I am not gonna reveal which is my favorite. Anyway, Ghostbusters is a funny yet interesting story about the lives of 4 Ghostbusters and their receptionist/secretary, as paranormal activities create chaos in their city. 


4. Pee Mak (2013)

          This Thai horror-comedy is a funny adaptation of Thai folklore. Set in the 19th  century, Pee Mak follows the story of Mak who had left his pregnant wife to fight in a war. When he returns to his village with 4 of his fellow soldier friends, his friends hear rumors that his wife is a ghost. The movie unravels how the friends find if the wife is a ghost or not. It is funny and has many twists along with little kiddish scares which might also make you laugh. It has horror, comedy, romance, and suspense. Pee Mak is one entertaining movie you won’t regret watching.


3. Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Hidden from human reach, Dracula has his own luxurious hotel in Transylvania that lodges monsters who are on vacation. On his humans-loving-daughter Mavis’s birthday, Dracula has invited all his monster-friends to throw an amazing party. That evening arrives an unexpected guest – a young human. Will Mavis fall in love with this human? Will Dracula let that happen? Will the other monsters kill him before that? Hotel Transylvania is the perfect movie choice for all the monster lovers out there.


2. Coco (2017)

5 Fun Movies to Watch This Halloween - Coco (2017) - Bookmarks and Popcorns

          If anyone is thinking ‘This is not a Halloween movie. It is a movie based on Mexican culture’, I know da. Coco is a movie based on the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos which means the Day of the Dead. Basically, on this day, people gather to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. Coco tells the story of a boy named Miguel who accidentally ends in the Land of the Dead and has to return to the living world before sunrise. A perfect animation movie with music, love, family, humor, and everything sweet.


1. Hocus Pocus (1993)

          Salem, talking black cat, witches, Hocus Pocus has everything. On Halloween, Max Dennison, in order to prove to his little sister and crush that Halloween is just a fabrication of the candy companies, lights a candle that is believed to bring the most villainous Sanderson Witches who trick young kids and absorb their youth to keep themselves alive and young, killing the kids in the process. Will the trio get rid of the witches? Will the witches kill them and obtain their youth? Hocus Pocus is my most favorite Halloween movie so far. It’s funny. It’s scary. It’s the best.


Now that I have said my favorites. I hope you join me in this tradition of watching Halloween movies in October. Which is your favorite movie to watch during Halloween? Tell me in the comments section below. If you have a friend who likes any of these movies or loves Halloween, share this with them.
