Movies to watch during the Spoopy/Spooky season

Photos and written by Amy Bridges

We have hit my favourite season, its spoopy season!! Even though spoopy season normally doesn’t end in my house since there is a 6-foot Frankenstein standing on my staircase, it doesn’t mean I don’t get excited when it is actual spoopy season. I thought I would give my list of must watch movies for the season if you aren’t like my household and will watch them in the middle of July just cause. I decided to split it up into Spoopy and Spooky sections for those of you who don’t like the blood and scary parts of this season but still like to celebrate and be a part of it. Some of these films can be found on Trent’s new Audio Cine Films resource (You can get there from this link ).

Spooky Movie List

Some of these movies in my opinion should go in the Spoopy list but I have been told that my view on what is Spooky is skewed so I am putting them here in this list so at least they are on one of the lists.

I’m going to stop listing here or we would be here forever going through the list instead of actually watching the movies. So, I will leave you with some of my favourites and I will say happy spoopy season!! I’m off to make a nice cozy tea and I am going to pick one of these movies to watch.
