5 Perfect Movies for Halloween!

Halloween is on a Monday but we all know everyone will be celebrating this weekend. If you’re like me and will most likely be on your couch (even if you love Halloween as much as I do) here are some great movies perfect for the occasion.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

A Halloween classic I’d say. This movie is family friendly and can be a great one to watch with friends or family who scare easily. I mean who doesn’t love Jack Skellington?

The Conjuring 2

Okay so this one is not for the faint of heart. I’m a true horror movie fanatic and this one caught me off guard a couple of times. You’ve probably all heard of the first one but I’d say this one is just as scary. So if you’re looking for a movie to watch with a group of people I’d definitely suggest this one but be prepared.

Coraline

This is one of my favorite movies in general but I think it’s perfect for Halloween because it just sets a creepy aura (especially with the music). This one is perfect for those who want to get into the Halloween spirit but don’t want to be scared to death. I’d say its one you could watch with the family as well.

Insidious 2

YES! Okay I just had to add this one. The first one was great if you haven’t seen it you should but this one is incredible. I’ve never enjoyed a second movie more than the first one until I saw this movie. This movie scared me and I’m usually not the type to get freaked out by Ghost. I’d suggest watching this one with friends if you scare easily. I’d also suggest that you watch the first one beforehand to get a better understanding of the plot but the storyline is amazing and this actress (pictured above) did a great job of freaking me out!

Corpse Bride

I just LOVE this movie. I wouldn’t say its super scary but it’s definitely creepy and it’s family friendly so if you have little ones like I do it’s perfect for a Halloween slumber party. I also really like the music, so many Halloween feels!

So there you have it! If you haven’t seen the movies listed above watch one and let me know how you like it?

Also comment with some of your Halloween favorites!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

My Favorite TV Shows!

I’m one of those people who can easily find my tribe simple based on what type of shows they enjoy. So lets see how well we will get along (lol). Below are a few of my favorite shows so check them out and comment if any of yours is on this list. We’ll get together sometime and watch!

THE WALKING DEAD

My husband got me into this show a couple of years ago and I binged watch the first 3 seasons when I was pregnant, abroad and on bedrest! I’m extremely invested now (if you don’t believe me check my Twitter)

WARNING SPOILERS BELOW!

Now I had to mention this one because the season 7 premiere was Sunday night and it broke my heart. I cried REAL tears! Never in my life have I been as emotionally invested in any show which explains why this one is at the top of my list. I’m still in shock, R.I.P to two of my favorite characters Glenn and Abraham! That was gruesome but I can’t stop watching. You guys may be gone but you’ll never be forgotten and poor Maggie. I just can’t!

American Horror Story

 So I was a die hard fan when this one came out because I love horror movies and this was like taking a good horror movie and creating a show. I also really like how its inspired by true events, makes it even creepier.

This show is unique in that each season has a different theme. Now I don’t think I’ve been as invested in the show since Jessica Lange left but I’ve been surprised by how well Lady Gaga has been! My favorite season is still Season 3 mostly because I was obsessed with Angela Bassett’s role as voodoo queen in that season (and her hair in that season was giving me life!)

The latest season is quite different than those before it but still interesting and still creepy. If you don’t like scary, don’t watch it but I promise you’re missing out!

SCREAM QUEENS

So Ryan Murphy did the world a favor and created a hilarious sort of parody inspired tv show for those too weak to handle American Horror Story. Sarcasm is my second language and I love that this show speaks to that part of my soul.

It’s not really scary but more of old school slasher inspired but more fun of course. The cast may come off like they are just terrible actors if you take the show too seriously but I assure you they are wonderful and I just LOVE the Chanels!

What can I say I guess I’m basic.

ONCE UPON A TIME

I was REALLY into this show a few years ago before my husband introduced me to The Walking Dead. I grew up really adoring fairytales and I love the real world twist this show brings to those classic stories. I am so excited every time they introduce a new fairytale character and must I say the actors are incredible!

I’ve gotten a little behind on this show lately but thanks to Netflix I’ll catch up!

SUPERNATURAL

I’m going to be honest I was going to put Pretty Little Liars on this list instead but they really let me down with that big “A” reveal last year so I’m sticking with Supernatural.

My husband got me into this show before any of those previously mentioned. I used to binge watch it religiously and I just LOVE Sam and Dean Winchester. I’m very superstitious and YES I believe in ghosts, demons, aliens all of that (not kidding I seriously do, don’t judge me) so this show really sparked my interest.

I’ll admit its been a couple of months since I’ve watched it but I promise when I get some down time I’ll jump back in head first!

So do you see any of YOUR favorite shows above? If so comment and let me know!

Til then I’ll be on my couch watching Netflix!
