Family Halloween Movie Bucket List

Halloween is a huge deal in our house.  The minions have caught the Halloween bug from us, perhaps that's because they live in a home that roughly resembles a Tim Burton museum.  This year we even had to put a rule into effect that the kids weren't allowed to talk about their Halloween costumes until at least May.

While we're working hard on our costumes, more on that later, and decking our halls with haunting knickknacks (that happens tomorrow), we're also looking for some Halloween based or haunting inspired movies and TV specials to watch.  So, last night we came up with a list of family favourite Halloween movies to watch, ones we're going to try this year, and ones that are just for the grown-ups.  Enjoy! Also if you have a Halloween movie you love watching with your kids, please share.  I can't wait to add it to our list.

I'm going to check them off as we watch them.
