Now that we are in the midst of the month of October, it’s the perfect time to celebrate Halloween by watching a variety of different TV shows. Although some people love to be scared, other people absolutely hate it. Today we’re going to discuss some shows you can watch to get into the spirit of Halloween without scaring you silly.

Dark Shadows

In 2012, Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp starred in this campy remake of the cult TV soap opera from the 1960s and 1970s. Featuring everything from werewolves to vampires and witches, this movie is pure fun. With the over-the-top drama of a soap opera and plenty of comedic scenes, this movie is sure to delight Halloween lovers.

The Addams Family

1991 was a great year because it was the year that The Addams Family movie was finally released. Based on the 1964 TV series of the same name, this kooky family lives in a haunted Victorian mansion on a hill, located conveniently close to a graveyard. This loving family shares a unique love of everything morbid and macabre, and they are also quite wealthy. When a couple of cons artists try to take advantage of this family, they are in for the scare of their lives.

Hocus Pocus

In 1993, the witch movie, Hocus Pocus, was released, delighting children across the nation. Starring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy, this movie focuses on three witches who drain the life force of innocent people in an effort to retain their youth. When a teenager moves to Salem from Los Angeles, he accidentally resurrects the witches and tries to protect others from their murderous magic.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

This campy 1975 film is not suitable for children, but adults will love this raucous movie. When a young couple’s car breaks down near a spooky castle, they seek help of its owner, Frank N. Furter. As it turns out, the seductive Frank N. Furter is an alien who creates all kinds of strange experiments in his laboratory.

Ghostbusters

This 1984 movie not only includes an abundance of spooky spirits, but also excellent comedians Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis. In 1980s Manhattan, ghosts are wreaking havoc throughout the entire city, and a team of Ghostbusters comes to the rescue, but not without finding themselves in a few pickles along the way.

Edward Scissorhands

In 1990, Johnny Depp starred in this Tim Burton film about an artificial man with scissors for hands, who is taken in by a suburban family. Johnny Depp is brilliant in his role as a misunderstood outcast, and this movie makes for quite a moving love story.

Beetlejuice

This 1988 movie is about a young couple who tragically died in an accident but continue to haunt their huge old country house in Connecticut. When an artist couple and their teenage daughter, played by Winona Ryder, move into the house, things get even weirder. The only one in the house who can see the ghosts is the teenage daughter, Lydia. In a truly delightful performance, Michael Keaton plays Beetlejuice, the con artist ghost who wreaks havoc on both the living and the dead.

Young Frankenstein

A Mel Brooks parody of the classic Mary Shelley novel, this 1974 comedy features a brilliant performance by Gene Wilder. Not only was this movie wildly popular at the time, many comedy enthusiasts consider it one of the greatest comedy movies ever made. Gene Wilder plays the mad scientist attempting to create a monster in his Transylvania laboratory.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

This animated 1993 movie features a sweet love story between the “Pumpkin King” Jack Skellington and Sally in Halloween Town. Halloween Town features every ghoulish creature you can dream of, including zombies, mummies, goblins, vampires, werewolves, and witches.
