It's day one of my Halloween Movie Howl-Fest, and I cannot wait to get started on some of these awesome movies. My friends and I of course will be going down the bracket, watching and debating (heatedly I suspect) each film pairing. But I'd love to hear from you movie lovers out there about which Halloween films are your favorites. Is it The Witches or Hocus Pocus? Both stories about dark mistresses of magic, determined to rid the world of children. Or how about about fairy tales and witch hunting? Do you prefer Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters or Brothers Grimm? Tough call, that one.
Take a few minutes to look down the list and let me know which magial movies deserve to move on!!
I hope you enjoy the list of movies I've put together. There are of course many more terrific tales of witchcraft and sorcery, but there's only so much time before Halloween and I've already got a lot of movies to watch. I can't wait to hear back from you! Check back on Wednesday to see which movies are moving on to the next round . . .
And as always, happy blogging!

I haven't seen all, but of the ones I've seen I'd go with Witches of Eastwick, Practical Magic, Harry Potter and The Brothers Grimm

ReplyDeleteThe Witches
Harry Potter
The Craft
The Covenant
The Prestige
Practical Magic
The Sorcerer's Apprentice
The Brothers Grimm
Fun! Here are my picks...
ReplyDeleteHocus Pocus
The Craft
The Covenant
Practical Magic
The Prestige WAY OVER The Illusionist (stupid, lying movie). Harry Potter.
ReplyDeleteThe rest I either didn't see or don't care enough about one way or the other. Well, except, I think I'll go with Hansel & Gretel. For some reason, I enjoyed that one way more than I should have.
I just realized you don't have E.T. on your list. At least, I don't remember it being on the other side of your brackets.
I don't really count ET as a Halloween movie. I usually consider aliens as more sci-fi than Halloween. Granted, it's a fine line.
DeleteBut it takes place -at- Halloween. It's usually when we watch it because of that.
