The Nightmare Before Christmas

Regarded as one of Tim Burton’s best films to date, the animation alone will make you fall in love with this film. The Halloween classic will not only get you in the spooky spirit but also prep you for that OTHER holiday around the corner.

Beetlejuice

Another Tim Burton film featuring the legendary Catherine O’Hara on our list, which we are by no means complaining about! Even though the film was released in 1988, this classic still makes us cackle.

The Addams Family

Say hello to the first family of gothic TV, the Addams Family (double finger snap). You might be going to see the new animated film, but nothing beats the 1991 movie. Based on the TV show of the same name, this unconventional family is ideal for all ages.
