As Halloween approaches, it’s time to bring out the seasonal classics we all know and love. And, if you’re like me, you probably watch these movies year-round anyway. But there’s something special about watching these movies during the month of Halloween, which is why I chose 35 of my favorite Halloween-themed (or just good movies to watch around Halloween) movies.
