Because of COVID-19 we don't know whether or not we'll get to celebrate Halloween this year with Trick or Treating. Since Halloween is a pretty big deal in our house we've decided to celebrate with as many social distancing and self-isolation activities during this spooky time of year. There's nothing quite like watching some Halloween specials or scary movies to get you into the holiday spirit.
Last year our list was a little too ambitious, so this year we went a little smaller, knowing we can add on extras if we watch all of these. This is what is on our list for this year.

Molly says this counts as a Halloween movie because it has witches, a scarecrow (for harvest season), and creepy monkeys - it also doesn't hurt that they just added it to Netflix).
