To all my fans who keep following the Top 10 and Horoscopes, I have a special treat for you. Since Halloween is a time of scary and classic movies, I put together a list of movies that if you haven't seen, you seriosuly need to.
Starting at number ten is "The Simpsons Trick or Treehouse." People who watch "The Simpsons" on a regular basis know that the Halloween episodes are always classic. Plus there are plenty of episodes, so go check them out.
"Garfield's Halloween Adventure" comes in at number nine. Yes, Garfield is not as cool as he once was, but no matter what, he can still charm his way into our hearts.
"Beetlejuice" is definitely number eight. Director Tim Burton, who also did "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," brings to life this American comedy, horror, and fantasy film that the whole family will enjoy.
"Monsters Inc." isn't classified as a halloween movie, but I think since it has monsters and an amazing plot, I am saying it is number seven on the list of movies that just keeps getting better.
Who could leave the orginal "Halloween" movie off the list of freaky movies? There are a lot of versions of "Halloween," but the original is the best and always will be.
Now number six isn't for the weak. "House of Wax" is a gruesome movie which has Paris Hilton getting a pole in the head. Yup, it's that nasty of a movie. It stars Chad Michael Murray and Elisha Cuthbert, who make the movie stellar.
"It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" has got to be everyones favorite Halloween special on TV. When I see it on, it makes me smile and I set aside whatever I was doing at the time to watch it. Though it only makes it to number four on my list, in my heart it's number one.
The original "Casper" with Christina Ricci is my number three Halloween movie to see if you haven't, or to watch again, this holiday season. For some strange reason, I watched this all the time when I was young. So all in all, I have to name it my number three.
"Donnie Darko" is a wild, psychological thriller. It took me and some of my friends a few times of viewing the movie to understand it. I can be a little slow sometimes, but that doesn't happen to everyone. That's why it lands as my number two movie.
And at the top of my list of classic Halloween movies is ... "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Don't be fooled by the title. This is the ultimate Halloween movie and is directed by Tim Burton, who if you don't remember also did "Beetlejuice." How he and his team created this amazing of a movie, beats me. This is a movie every single person in the world must see. That's why it is my number one movie for the holiday season.
