Soul Sister Approved Halloween Movies

Growing up in Australia, we never celebrated the holiday of Halloween. I missed out on the spooky costumes, the kooky pumpkin carving and yep … sad but true, even the trick or treating. It’s shocking I know!

What I did look forward to every year was the cycle of films that were released right around Halloween time … those spooky, creepy, family friendly-ISH movies that celebrated all things hauntingly good.

My top five favorite Halloween movies of all time are ones that I grew up with. Now I definitely don’t like the feeling of fear, I might be a lone ranger here but I just don't want to sit in my living room scarred out of my mind, rocking back and forth in the foetal position repeating the words of Bart Simpson 'can't sleep, clown will eat me'. Needless to say IT will not be on my watch list.

Think black comedy … so we want you to bring together all the family or your friend, grab out the popcorn, candy and then snuggle in together on the couch for a movie marathon. If you grew up in the 90s like me, prepare to get all nostalgic.

Watch with the whole family . . .
