 Ever since I was young I've been obsessed with horror films and scary stories and whatnot when I was three I would literally hide behind doors when I was in a room alone and practice my evil laugh That's a true story mind you I would wait all year for Halloween since all the kids channels ran the Halloween specials I'd watch cyber chase and fetch with rough rough men and even dragon tales And I would always record the specials on VHS tapes and loop them until it tapes ran out like they would turn into dust I have a lot of memories watching spooky stuff with my family So I have a couple favorites listed down for you before I begin I need to address that I've removed the obvious movies and shows here no Beetlejuice no nightmare for Christmas no Halloween It's you already know this is good like I'm making this list for you to discover stuff instead of like reaffirming your opinions Okay, so like a lot of these you probably haven't heard of if you have heard of a few good for you Also, it's worth noting that items 10 through 2 are kind of just thrown together It's not like number eight is inherently worse than number four. It is not a ranked list except for number one So we're gonna climb through these together. This is all building up to number one number one is better than all of them Okay, also some mild spoilers will be explored through some of these So if you find a movie or show that looks kind of interesting just skip the segment all the time stamps are in the Description so you don't have to just stop watching completely So slip on your ghost onesie and mix the candy corn with the popcorn Which is really good by the way because we're about to start digging in right now with number 10 In the eighth grade I got foot surgery on Halloween and it sucked It was painful It was bloody and it was gross and I pretty much cried the whole day because I was so mad that the day had been ripped away For me. I couldn't walk. I couldn't answer the front door or anything I just stared out the window and watched all the other kids have a lot of fun Some of my mom's friends lent us a dvd for the frighteners and we watched it And it was probably the best part of that Halloween for a movie to be so absurd Entertaining and funny that it makes me laugh after being miserable for the whole day. I I got to give it props I actually don't remember anything from it though other than the fact They enjoyed it when I was 14 years old it has good audience ratings and bad critical reviews So that's how you know, it's a fun movie I mean hook with robin. Williams had the exact same thing going on and that movie was awesome If you are ever in mobile on a couch wallowing in your own pain and suffering I would really recommend this one This movie just came out like a month or two ago as of the time of making this video And I loved everything about it the writing the acting the cinematography the horrific violence against children It was everything that I wanted it to be being just true enough to the original to satisfy fans the novels while still being accessible for new audiences When I initially saw this movie we saw in debock seats in the theater That meant that the chairs rocked and moved which was a totally different experience Not only where the jump scares loud They practically threw you around adding a whole new level of suspense to the experience Hopefully it'll be remembered as a classic someday And quote lying to yourself the 2017 version is worlds better than the 90s one Here's a word you don't hear very often Aesthetic you probably hear that every day if you're an emo kid This episode looks like halloween the sky and the horizon they're dark their pumpkins their ghosts just oh this looks so good SpongeBob is getting spooked non-stop by his friends from squidward to crabs pranking him to miss puff spooking him to even Patrick freaking him out by accident he and Patrick come up with some pretty elaborate prank to pull on the crusty crab And scare everyone half to death until Patrick loses control of spongebob and exposes his identity Everybody starts laughing until the real flying dutchman appears and expresses how disgusted he is that everyone is exploiting his likeness For cheap halloween gags and smearing his reputation. It's among other sea creatures This is oddly relevant right now. Whoa as punishment the dutchman threatens to take everyone's souls And then takes away spongebob's costume and then he panics at the side of spongebob's brain See he had this weird idea to cut off the sides of his head to make his head more round Since you know ghost heads around and that kind of freaks everyone out in the room So why should you watch this despite the fact that I just told you the entire episode simple the artwork is outstanding I love how much this looks and I love how it plays out. It's simple. It's fun. It's ironic and it's spooky And it's everything that I want from a halloween special. It's radical number seven This movie is so awesome. How come nobody talks about it anymore My dad took me to see this when I was seven years old in the theaters and it scared me half to death It was so much more loud and dark and scary than I was anticipating and I loved every single second of it This movie is so much better than it has any right to be not only is it smart witty scary But it also has a lot more heart and soul than a lot of animated movies period It's mature and it takes its subject matter oddly seriously I mean, you know an evil house that eats people since they take it seriously You start to take it seriously too. They put the house to sleep with a mass vacuum cleaner full of sleep medicine This is a real and crucial Plat point in the actual film And if you were to concentrate everything that makes halloween awesome, it would probably look a lot like this movie There's adventures. There's scares. There's friends and crawling around the neighborhood late at night. I love that I love this film. Please rent it number six What why is diary of a wimpy kid on this list just not scary one bit? Yeah, no duh It's just about a suburban kid trying to navigate the sixth grade and it's wonderful One of my favorite family movies by a long shot This movie is on the list because the halloween segment in it is incredible I adore it frank hides on the roof and throws a garbage can full of water on the trick or treaters Rowley's mom made him a costume Roderick scares greg with an urban legend about devil worship or woods. Oh, it's so funny It is suburban goodness Which is going to be a recurring theme in this list by the way because I love those vibes because that's what I grew up with All of my halloween memories are about exploring neighborhoods and pranks and shenanigans and stories about the local culture This segment of the movie captures it perfectly. I love it. I love this movie. I love this book Do yourself a favor and check it out There's no way that's gonna make it in the final cut of the video. I love the garfield tv specials I love the garfield and friends series. This is not real garfield mind you This is whenever i'm babysitting some kiddos I bring over all of my garfield dvds and I found myself laughing a lot harder than they do because these are still hilarious They are worlds better than the comics. What's really cool about garfield's halloween adventure is that it lives up to its name It's divided into three segments. The first is about garfield The second is about halloween shenanigans and the final one feels like a legitimate adventure garfield's halloween adventure Oh, I get it garfield wakes up on halloween to discover that he can go trick-or-treating and score some candy He throws together pirate costume and takes on the neighborhood when he decides to travel down the river and stop by some more houses He and odi lose their way and they end up being left behind on a cursed island By the way, this old guy was like the scariest thing ever as a kid This is more like it Remember that comment about suburban goodness. I made like three seconds ago. That's still relevant This looks wonderful and it has like a great pumpkin vibe about it It's great and it's one of my all-time favorites Do you remember alvin and the chipmunks? Not this not this, but this this is real alvin and the chipmunks and I love these These were so much fun as a kid Alvin and the chipmunks meet the wolf man was like my favorite chipmunks movie My favorite genre and film has to be called 80s strange invaders. I just made it up right now Neighborhood kids band together in a small town and deal with an alien or a monster or some other villain Movies like goonies super eight stranger things gremlins the monster squad et midnight special just uh such good movies It's like a weirdly specific classification, but like it totally exists These movies are a lot of fun because they remind me of being a kid again And there's always an even mix of action effects and spooks too I think that's why I enjoyed 2017's it so much that counts as like an 80s strange invader movie by the way Alvin and the chipmunks meet the wolf man is kind of like a strange invaders film in a way It's packed to the brim with a lot of adventures silly october vibes and just Heck it's so nostalgic like the wolf man moves next door. That's awesome. And now theodore is a werewolf. What all right So if he's like half human half chipmunk half werewolf, that's 150 what the heck dude I can't sing. All right. We're not climbing around with any more kid stuff These movies are so over the top and ridiculous that it's a marvel. This Is my boom stick You can find this in the sporting goods department See the first evil dead movie was an honest attempt at horror and it came off being like really campy Upon realizing how successful yet cheesy their movie was the filmmakers just ran with the whole thing in evil dead too It is the best example of mixing horror and comedy Let me just reiterate the canon storyline drags the main character from a haunted cabin in the woods to an interdimensional medieval kingdom and then to a supermarket to fight demons I'll swallow yours Come get some The remake was a bit controversial because it didn't have any of the comedy elements that made the original so iconic However, they went completely overboard with the graphic and disturbing effects I thought it was an excellent homage to the originals and a super radical post credit scene too If you haven't ever seen that my little brother considered himself like a horror movie expert until I showed him this movie And he tapped out he could not handle it. Although he has since been able to finish it So I mean in case he's watching ash versus the evil dead. It's it's all right It's not nearly as groovy as the originals seem to be in the minority with us. They're they're still fun to watch I tore through the first season in like a day. It just felt too much like a cable horror series I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but if I ever have a friend staying the night I always plot the evil dead films on vhs. These are like a sleepover staple for my childhood And I still rip them out every summer and I love them The atoms family movie excellent the atoms family values stupendous flawless excellent They took everything that was already good about the great atoms family movie and they just tripled it for the sequel This movie is so funny. It's so clever. It's so witty and it's so iconic that I consider one of my favorite films of all time Make this official I want the blu-ray copy in my coffin when they bury me in case eternal oblivion has like an entertainment center Because I can sit through this puppy over and over and over and over And so let's just look back and all the halloween films and decipher what was so great about them And why I'm picking my number one spot in case it's not apparent. I love suburban adventure vibes I like camaraderie with kids hunting down ghouls a good art direction is super important to me What film could possibly encapsulate all these qualities? It's this one. It's really good directed by michael dot tree dow tree I don't know he even made crampus trick-or-treat is the ultimate halloween movie It is a tradition in my house. I even watch it during july when i'm feeling nostalgic for spooky season again It's like a horror version of pulp fiction as intertwining narratives and they influence one another There are a ton of horror tropes. They're explored in this movie and it's hilarious Slasher strange invaders home invasion did I mention that I adore trick-or-treat? This movie is so clever It's so ironic while simultaneously having some pretty shocking and horrific imagery Particularly directed towards children like a lot of kids die horribly in this movie and oh my god Look at that art direction. This dude gets halloween. This is what it looks like This is what it feels like everything is so spot-on and it's a perfect mix of lighthearted with evil This movie has achieved cult status and for a good reason. I love the lore. I love the characters It is bragging for a massive fan base because it totally deserves it Plus the director himself is working on a sequel get on top of it, dude I want more of this please watch this movie Do yourself a favor have a party buy some candy watch this with your friends Maybe send me a picture of it on twitter Oh snap transition to all the youtubey stuff on top of sending me a picture of your sick party on twitter Maybe you should follow me there too and you should probably subscribe on here.
