1. Kiki’s Delivery Service
Chosen by: Mackenzie Schors, staff writer and social media manager
“Although it may not be a horror film like most other Halloween movies, it takes me back to my childhood, where I watched many of Studio Ghibli’s movies. If you haven’t already watched Studio Ghibli’s franchise of movies, I highly recommend you do so,” Schors said.
2. It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Chosen by: Mikayla Straube, staff writer and columnist
“While not a feature-length film, my favorite thing to watch during the Halloween season is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. It’s such a classic! Between poor Charlie Brown getting rocks for his costume mishap to Snoopy’s Flying Ace montage, I can never get enough. I watch it every year, and as of last fall, my roommates now join me in this tradition,” said Straube.
3. Monster House
Chosen by: Emily Hedegard, editor-in-chief
“My favorite Halloween movie has to be Monster House. It was a childhood favorite of mine and has continued to be one of my staple ‘spooky’ movies,” Hedegard said.
4. Trick ‘R Treat
Chosen by: Arianna Ochs, staff writer and podcast producer
“Trick ‘r Treat is a great horror anthology that’s just great fun for horror fans. It has fun setups, good kills, and everything that makes horror movies and Halloween fun,” said Ochs.
5. Corpse Bride
Chosen by: Lauren Willard, photographer
“Corpse Bride has to be my favorite because of the style and the thrilling story that brings you to cliffhangers and plot twists,” Willard said.
