Time travel, magic, witchcraft, and vampires — there are so many fun and ghoulish options for your own Halloween movie marathon!

Halloween Movie Madness

For some reason this year, I’m really feeling the Halloween spirit more than ever. Maybe it’s the cooler air, leaves falling, or looking forward to wearing a fun costume and dressing up.

I did buy a fabulous new Halloween decoration. It’s a raven, perched on a skull, on top of an ancient-looking candlestick. Love it – thanks HomeGoods!

Today, we’re skipping the deep mystical discussions and diving into something that’s pure fun. I’m going to share 20 witchy, magical, and slightly spooky movies and shows that are perfect for this time of year.

Now, just between you and me, I’m not big on gory slasher films or horror movies. So, I won’t be recommending Bride of Chuckie or Scream 3. No worries there!

In addition to the movies and shows, I’ve included short descriptions and where to watch so you can curate your own October movie marathon. It’s time to have fun!
