The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Tim Burton’s iconic animation feature is a great choice for Halloween, it also doubles up as a Christmas movie, so it really is a win-win situation.

It’s the 80’s, they fight ghosts and there’s a sassy receptionist. What’s not to love?

 

The Witches (1990)

Based on Rohl Dahl’s beloved Children’s book, the witches is the perfect antidote to scary slashers flicks. Just make sure to watch the 90’s original and not the 2020 remake (sorry Anne).

 

The Corpse Bride (2005)

Another Tim Burton Animation. The Corpse Bride is a melancholy tale of love, marriage and betrayal.

 

Addams Family Values (1993)

‘Their creepy and they’re kooky, Mysterious and spooky. Their all together ooky, The Adams family’. A young Chrisitna Ricci steals every scene that she’s in as Wednesday Adams. Joan Cusack delivers an iconic performance as ‘Debbie’ the crazed Black Widow, with a love of pastels.

 

Beetlejuice (1988)

The 1988 hit film stars Winona Ryder in one of her most iconic roles, as teen-goth, Lydia Deetz, “I myself am strange, and unusual’. Terrorised by the ‘recently deceased’ Lydia calls upon the professional poltergeist services of Beetlejuice. Big Mistake!

 

The Craft (1996)

Halloween movie? Or Fashion Movie? The Craft is both! The iconic 90’s movie tells the story of four witches who’s friendship is tested by power, control, and dark magic. The protagonist Sarah must use her natural abilities to fight against her former BFF’s.

A black comedy based on the popular board game of the same name, Clue did poorly at the box office but has since gone on to gain a die-hard cult following.

 

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

The original sad boy Edward Scissorshands is a macabre love story of belonging and identity. Killer visual, costumes, story, and set design, this is Tim Burton at his best.

 

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

This campy sing-a-long, musical horror was released in 1975. It’s impossible not to love this movie.
