5 Halloween Movies You Possibly Haven't Seen

Between Horror-Movie-A-Days, Sales, and marathons, October is full of films, as it should be. I can't think of Trick-or-Treating without thinking of Hocus Pocus, can't go to the store without seeing a Ghostface mask, and can't get on the tubes without seeing lists of movies to watch in October. The hardest part of watching movies in October is picking which are worthy of the "October Viewing". So, here is another list,  movies you may have not seen, but are worth squeezing in.

Although I won't be listing Halloween or Trick r Treat, if you aren't watching both of those movies around Halloween, there is something wrong with you.


1.) Murder Party (2007)

Murder party is a more comedy-than-horror film gem that has yet to gain the recognition it deserves. It stands leagues above your average "Indie Horror-Comedy", and is a prime example of what a group of extremely talented people can do with a super low budget.




2.) Cry Baby Lane (2000)

Cry Baby Lane is a semi-controversial Nickelodeon original movie. Part Children of the Corn, part Invasion of the Body Snatchers, this movie was deemed "too super spooky" and was almost erased from exsistence, until it was re-aired in 2011. Starring some familiar faces like the front-man of Glint, Frank Landella, that comedian, and Britain's number one sprint hurdler; this movie does a great job portraying child adventures and will surely give you some nostalgia.




3.) When Good Ghouls Go Bad (2001)

Can't find a proper trailer, so here's a clip.



When Good Ghouls Go Bad may have an unfortunate title, and some unfortunate CGI, but this Fox Family TV movie is a personal favorite. Doc Brown is the star of this film, it has an interesting story, and is filled to the with everything that makes a Halloween film. A must watch if you're a fan of artsy goth kids.




4.) Halloweentown (1998)

I've got a Fox Family and Nickelodeon, so of course I'd have a Disney Channel Original Movie. Halloweentown is a lot more well known then the others on this list, and is the king of Halloween Tv movies. This movie is a childhood classic for most, so it doesn't really need much of a write-up.




5.) Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

I know what you're thinking, and yes, Season of the Witch isn't exactly a Deep-Cut. This movie is well known as "the Halloween without Myers", but it's a great film once you get past that. It has recently gained popularity , but just one look at it's IMDb page, where it is on lists like "Films I Have Not Seen but I Know They'll Be Crap" and "Unwatchable Movies", makes it obvious that it still has an undeserved stigma, and it's not yet received the way it should be. Also Tom Atkins is the man.


So, what did you think of the list? What of these have you seen? What would you add? Feel free to comment, and have a Happy Halloween!
