Quarantine and Chill: the Halloween edition

If you haven’t guessed it by now, yes I am on a mission to watch as many Halloween movies as I can this month. No better time, right? With the city of Montreal being back in a lockdown, it seems like the ideal year to finally indulge in an activity I’ve put off doing for years. And being the generous person that I am, I decided to share my carefully curated 2020 Halloween list.

We’re going to start off with the forgotten oldies. The ones you may have not heard from in a while, but once they’re brought up, all the memories start rushing back. It’s the perfect way to start off this Halloween marathon!

• Don’t Look Under the Bed
• Witches
• Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire
• The Haunted Mansion
• Twitches / Twitches Too
• Phantom of the Megaplex
• Halloweentown

Next are films that have dropped recently that may have slipped past your radar. These are all on the more family friendly/ predictable / feel good side of the list. Not too heavy on the heart or mind. It’s easy going!

• The Babysitter Killer Queen
• Hubie Halloween (twitter is saying this is the terrible movie Sandler promised to curse us with if he didn’t win Best Actor and truly… I believe it may be)
• Vampires vs. The Bronx (read my review here!)
• Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting
• The House With a Clock In Its Walls
• The Witches (2020 version) (Anne Hathaway being the goddess that she is)
• Are You Afraid of the Dark (This is a three part series, the first episode is up on youtube!)

---

Finally, the horror horror shit. Some are comedic but for a more mature audience but alas, they all look extremely good! Maybe refrain from binging these because based off the trailers most of them seem very heavy on… well everything

• Death of Me
• Save Yourself!
• Black Box
• The Lie (Joey King absolutely killing it again)
• Freaky (a horror twist on Freaky Friday)
• Bad Hair
• Spell
• Nobody Sleeps in The Woods
• Don’t Look Back
• Holidays (short films, black mirror style)
• Scare Me
• The Haunting of Bly Manor (it’s absolutely splendid!)

---

And that’s all I have for my list! I hope you guys enjoy these films. Most of these are on Netflix with a few on Prime I believe! I’ve added hyperlinks to the trailers for some context. My rule of thumb is to stop watching them after 1:30 minutes, unless you want to run into a spoiler. Stay safe and Happy Halloween!
