Halloween Watch List 2016

~ Halloween Watch List ~

The 5th annual Attack of the 14 Nights of Halloween is in full swing here at the Laughing Vixen Lounge blog. As part of the fun I have put together a list of movies and TV shows to give you some ideas for holiday viewing. Leave a comment below with a movie you love that is not on the list. Then visit the MAIN GIVEAWAY POST and receive 5 extra entries in the giveaway (use giveaway widget to enter) for a $300 Prize Pack.

The movies below are broken down into genres and are listed from oldest to newest. If the movie has a remake it is listed below the original. This will help you find all versions or the version that most appeals to you. Of course here at the Lounge we always encourage you to watch the original! Many below do have sequels (and some many sequels!!!) so do a Google search if you are interested in a complete list for any title.

This is only a small sampling of all the great spooky fun that is out there. Make sure to read the comments below to find more ideas. Happy viewing!
