Halloween

Hello, I’m sure that you all have noticed that it is that time of year again. The leaves are changing, horror movies are playing, and the Halloween section of Walmart will be crammed with people from now until the end of the month. I love Halloween more than most people because it just happens to also be my birthday.

This will be a blog about all of those scary movies that everyone loves. To get things started lets talk about 13 nights of Halloween on ABC family. Being a junior in high school it may seem weird that I still get excited about this but I have no shame.  Although I like the classic movies, not all of these weird animated Halloween movies. That seems to be the new trend in Halloween family movies but I am not a fan. My all time favorite Halloween movie is Hocus Pocus. I have always loved this movie, when I was younger I would pretend to be one of the witches from the movie. Another one of my favorite family Halloween movies is of course Halloweentown. I mean who doesn’t like this movie? It is one of the best movies that I have ever seen on Disney channel. Even the sequel is good which says something because it isn’t very likely that the second movie is anywhere near as good as the first.

The other type of Halloween movies that are awesome is all of the horror movies that they play on SyFy. AMC also plays a lot of good Halloween movies. I like that these channels play the classic movies like Freddy and Jason but they also play newer movies too. I remember the first horror movie that I ever saw, it was called The Strangers. It is about these couple that goes to stay at their cabin but some unexpected guests show up and cause trouble. The murderers are wearing masks, that adds to the creepiness. Anyway it freaked me out but it also made me was to keep watching scary movies. One of the best older movies that I have seen is The Shining. As many of you probably know this movie is one of the most famous horror movies of all time.

There is another type of horror movies that are out there and they are the “based on real events” movies. The Paranormal Activity movies are pretty popular because they have a sense of reality to them. Some people are really freaked out by these kinds of movies and some people think that they are dumb. I just saw a commercial for another movie in the Paranormal Activity series but I forgot the name of it. There are also numerous shows on tv like Ghost Hunters or Scariest Places on Earth. Ghost Hunters is about a group that goes around and stays at supposedly haunted places and deems them haunted or not. It is a good show because they go in with the mindset that the place is not haunted so they prove it. Scariest places on earth is pretty self explanatory, it is list of the scariest places on earth.

Okay, so I don’t know if it is just me or if it is because my name is Katie but it seems that it is used in just about every scary movie. I know that it is in Paranormal Activity and it is in some other ones that I can’t remember. Anyway I guess this concludes my blog about Halloween. Thanks for readingJ
