Halloween Movie Night

Cue the spooky music, and let’s get this party started!

 

Update 2025: Halloween movie night season is here again friends, and I couldnā€™t resist giving this post a little refresh! Iā€™ve added some cozy, new favorites in an LTK collection below, extra yummy recipes, and more! Iā€™m also sipping on Fabula Coffeeā€™s Pumpkin Spice Blend while writing this ā€” itā€™s organic, mold-free, and seriously the perfect addition to any fall night in.

I’m sharing with you today a comprehensive list of Halloween movies for you to have the ultimate Halloween movie night! I sorted these movies out in sections, so there’s something for everyone!

 

You’ll find the rating beside each movie, and I’ve included the Parents Guide via IMDB for each movie just in case you have little ones and aren’t sure if they should watch them or not. I’ve also written where they can be streamed online via a subscription as of the time I wrote this post. For the ones left blank, I unfortunately couldn’t find a streaming service for it or you had to rent/buy it separately.

 

As an added bonus, what would a Halloween movie night be without all of the food? I’ve compiled a list of my favorite salty and sweet treats, along with appetizers, and Halloween-themed treats I found from awesome bloggers.

 

You can find grab my printable movie list right here! I hope you find some of your favorite movies as well as some news ones that you’ll love.

    I’m going to have to go through these and try the ones we haven’t watched yet. We are huge horror movie fans here.. and Scooby-Doo. When the kids were younger we owned on dvd pretty much every movie and tv season ever made. My kids were obsessed with Scooby and since these were my favorites growing up, I was loving it. Lauren and I then graduated to the Vampire Diary series which we watched in it’s entirety together. That was lots of fun. Now of course, we all watch the really scary movies.

      I hope you find some good ones that youā€™ll enjoy! šŸ˜Š Scooby-Doo was always a favorite for me growing up, and Iā€™m sure when I have kids, Iā€™ll have them watching it too! I miss Vampire Diaries a lot, it was a great show! Did you and Lauren ever watch The Originals? It was a good spin off of Vampire Diaries.

    Great list. I always look at the Parents Guide because sometimes I watch my little nephews, and it’s good to see what’s in films these days. This inspired me to watch a few of my favourites, like, The Nightmare Before Christmas, etc.

    I love all of these ideas… and what a great list of movies! We just had a Halloween movie night last Sunday and I hope to have a couple more before the end of the month! I can’t watch the super scary ones anymore, though. I’m a big baby now that I’m older! Haha.
