Prompt:
Thursday 18th: Top 5 Non-Horror Halloween Movies
Which are your 5 favourite Halloween movies that aren’t horrors?
Nightmare Before Christmas
This has always been one of my favorite Halloween/Christmas movies. I think I “borrowed” it from my friend for nearly 3 years and watched it at least 100 times. I say borrow because I would return it ever weekend and then ask to borrow it again. But, the amount that I had it I pretty much owned it at that point. It has wonderful animation, great songs, and can be creepy without being scary. Also, look at the cover of the movie, does the Pumpkin King not look epic?
Halloweentown
Halloweentown is a very interesting Disney movie. As you can see from the cover it comes across as lively and bubbly. There are bright colors and grandma is smiling bright as can be. While the town is just beautiful and those who like in halloween times are just as bright and fun. Bad things start to happen, this is a wonderful movie that will get you into the spirt and excited for the holiday.
Hocus Pocus
I am pretty sure at this point Hocus Pocus is a cult classic. I mean you cannot enter into fall without hearing about the Sanderson Sisters. I really do enjoy this movie. I like that it starts with a tale from long in MA past. There is town folklore that was even created for this movie, which adds even more to the feeling of Halloween. I enjoy that there are times of humor, worry, and surprise. I also enjoy that there are more than just witches in this movie.
Tower of Terror
While Tower of Terror is not traditionally a Halloween movie, I really like watching it this time of year. It has ghosts, creepy histories, and an abandoned hotel. There are missing individuals and a party that keeps reliving the past. It has ghost investigators, but also has some good humor and can be heartfelt as well. It is a great one to watch this time of year.
Corpse Bride
This love story has amazing animation and a great atmosphere that is perfect for Halloween. It is dark and eerie. There are ghosts, talking corpses, and a few misunderstands. There is crime, murder, and a sad story. All of these aspects really make it something I gravitate towards this time of the year. Also, another bonus is the fact that it is set in the past. That always makes things more interesting to me.

Oh thank-you so much for the tag! I will do this as soon as Blogoween is all done. I am the same way with carrying multiple audio and ebooks on me at all times. No idea why I feel like I need to have at least 3 audiobooks ready to go at all times. lol

I think my favourite is Coraline, so creepy, but I liked Corpse Bride when I watched that as well. Nothing beats Halloween animation

Halloweentown is definitely the number one Halloween film and franchise I have to watch, no matter how long it has been since I watched anything from the Disney Channel. I adore it because it’s just so fun, quirky, and full of familial magic which I always enjoy.

I think it was also the first ever Disney Channel Halloween film I watched so I have a special attachment to it. I like the second film too.

Yes, they were all really good. I will say I was a little jarred with the third one since they changed the actress.

I thought it was the fourth one that had a different actress, but even then I still liked it.

You may be right, I think it was the HS exchange one? But, I could be wrong. They were still good, I was just thrown off by it. I really liked the original actress.

From what I remember, the fourth one was where Marnie was at university, and it also starred Lucas Grabeel (probably spelt that wrong) from High School Musical. And I know what you mean.

Okay, somehow I think I was under a rock and I did not see that one!

Haha. You could have done, but simply got them confused because the only one that did have a different actress was the fourth and final film.
