Now let’s talk about my Top 4 Halloween movies I’m DEFINITELY watching again this year because apparently, I love chaos and nostalgia:
1️⃣ Cujo (1983) — Chile… that dog had me questioning every friendly bark in my neighborhood 😭. I’d survive Michael Myers but not Cujo, I’ll tell you that much.
2️⃣ Hocus Pocus (1993) — The Sanderson sisters could tell me to jump in a cauldron and I’d say “How high, Winnie?” 🧙♀️✨ Still iconic. Still undefeated.
3️⃣ Beetlejuice (1988) — Weird? Check. Messy? Check. Hilarious? Double check. He’s literally the original chaotic man I’d block but still laugh at 💚.
4️⃣ The Addams Family (1991) — Gomez & Morticia walk so no modern couple could ever run. The bar is six feet under and still too high 🖤⚰️.
By the end of October, I’m quoting every line, scaring myself in the dark, and pretending I live in Salem. 💅

Sleepy Hollow from 1999. I think it's streaming on a few different platforms. Christopher Walken is amazing even if he doesn't say a single word.
