    • The Addams Family (1991) Bringing big dark gothic energy to a film that plays so well for young children is a feat for which Barry Sonnenfeld definitely deserved Oscar consideration.
    • The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949) Technically only half of this svelte, 69-minute Disney package film will interest those celebrating Halloween.
    • Army of Darkness (1992) The third installment in Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead trilogy sheds almost all of the genuine horror of the previous two films and steers completely into Three Stoogian slapstick absurdity.
    • Beetlejuice (1988) Before he had Johnny Depp, director Tim Burton’s go-to guy was — checks notes — stand-up-comedian-turned- serious-actor Michael Keaton.
    • Halloween (1978) Meet the arguable granddaddy of the slasher genre (though we see you, Psycho and Black Christmas). John Carpenter's original Halloween is such an iconic horror cornerstone that the first Friday the 13th movie was designed as a naked ripoff.
    • Halloween II (1981) Though some fans say that the OG Halloween never needed a sequel, this first expansion of the franchise is still surprisingly good.
    • Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) The second entry in the franchise ended with the explosive death of Michael Myers, and to the studio's credit, they intended to leave that classic killer dead.
    • Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) Halloween 4 is a slow-burn exercise in patience that really pays off for those willing to wade through its earlier, plodding scenes.
    • Halloween (1978) Made with elegance and artistry, haunting music, a high level of taste and—crucially—unrelenting suspense and scares, John Carpenter‘s classic about a masked madman terrorizing babysitters remains an untouchable genre staple.
    • Hocus Pocus (1993) Distributed under Disney’s Buena Vista banner (that’s for fare aimed at older kids, and even adults), this horror/comedy/musical hybrid initially tanked with critics and audiences, losing Disney as much as $20 million at the box office.
    • The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) Like fellow holiday classic Gremlins, director Tim Burton’s Halloween-Christmas mashup is one of the scariest movies ever aimed—ostensibly—at kids.
    • Halloween II (1981) The first sequel to the long-running series, a continuation of that Halloween night that picks up moments after the first film ended, Halloween II did alright at the box office, but didn’t receive the rave critical reception of the first.
