Spooky season is here and other than lighting all the candles and drinking WAY too much Pumpkin Spice Lattes, my favorite way to get into autumn vibes is watching classic Halloween movies or shows.
But it’s so dang hard keeping track of all the things AND where exactly to stream them this year. Thankfully, my Ravenclaw bestie Amy put together a spreadsheet of all the best Halloween movies and shows, plus where to stream in 2022.
She was nice enough to let me share the list with you guys, and I updated for 2022. Plus Amy shared her own Hocus Pocus drinking game rules, which I highly recommend you play with your girlfriends and a LOT of wine. Bonus Points if you dress on theme as one of the Sanderson Sisters (personally, I love Sarah Jessica Parker’s look)!
This time of the year usually flies by – Halloween, Thanksgiving and are kind of a blur. That’s why I love to savor this time by being super extra for the different seasons. In this case, a classic Halloween movie always gets me in the spirit (or even a fun YouTube video playing some spooky background noise while I’m working).
Not only will this inspire what content to watch, but might inspire some Halloween costume ideas. Once you have your Halloween costumes picked, I recommend turning to a site like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to determine exactly how you’ll be able pull it together!
