Every year in October, I usually reblog a post I wrote back in 2012 on my Tumblr page. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but I do like to take advantage of Freeform’s 13 Nights of Halloween as well as the Disney Channel’s October programing to watch all of the fun movies I wouldn’t normally watch throughout the year. Not all of these movies are family friendly, but the majority of them are and they are my favorite type of “scary” movie. It wouldn’t be October without watching at least five of these films, especially Hocus Pocus–it wouldn’t be right without one Hocus Pocus viewing.
Anyway, I figured I’d start the month right and share with you my favorite fun movies to watch in October. Here’s my list:
