Halloween 2021 is approaching and we all know what that means. We are waiting for this day to come around every year! People who love to build and buy the best decorations are planning on making this Halloween super spooky.
Some are already putting their plans into motion, buying jack-o’-lanterns, black cats for decoration, candy bowls that look like witch’s cauldrons. You name it! If it has to do with Halloween, you can bet that it’s selling like hotcakes.
The latest thing to sweep the nation is Halloween 2021 movies! It’s like Christmas movies, but for Halloween! Everyone wants to see ghosts and zombies on the screen. These people are addicts! I can’t blame them though; these films are freakishly good.
Anyway, it’s time for me to get down to business. In this article, we will discuss some of the greatest Halloween movies and categories.
Disney Halloween Movies
Disney has a lot of great movies. I like some of them more than others. That’s pretty common among people in general, and I think we can all agree that one person’s favorite Disney movie is another person’s “Disney had the audacity to make this?”
This is true for their Halloween movies as well. Disney Halloween movies are typically rated, at best, as “okay” by critics. They are interesting to watch, but beyond that, they don’t do much and don’t impact the audience.
However, one of the best movies to watch on Halloween 2021 night is “Twitches.” I think “Twitches” is underrated by most standards, but it does bring something different to the table than the other Halloween movies, and that is why it has become of my favorites.
“Twitches” (2005) is often overlooked by Disney fans because the movie did not have much commercial success upon its release. It only made $22 million domestically in its theatrical run, which was definitely a let-down for Disney. However, when you take into consideration that the movie was intended to be a direct-to-DVD sequel, then the movie only did as well as it should have. Also, considering when “Twitches” came out (late 2005), it didn’t stand a chance in theaters against movies like “Night at the Museum,” “The Prestige,” and “the Descent.”
The Plot
Basically, the movie ”Twitches” is about two witch sisters that are separated at birth, but are reunited as teenagers by an evil witch that wants to steal their powers. And the twin sisters must work together to stop this witch before it’s too late.
Halloween Movies on Netflix
Netflix has become the new home for movie fans around the world. Their collection includes some of the most highly rated titles, with their original productions holding a fair share of critical success. It’s also no surprise that their selection of shows caters to many different audiences—and you can bet they’ve got something really weird in there too!
Halloween 2021 is a great time to start exploring Netflix movies. Some of the highest-rated Haloween movies on Netflix are ”The Platform”, ”Don’t Breath”, ”Blood Red Sky”, etc.
However, one of the best Halloween movies is called ”Fear Street Part 1: 1994.”
The Plot
In 1994, an employee at a bookstore, Heather Watkins, is murdered by her friend Ryan Torres, who had previously shown no indication that he intended to kill her. Nick Goode, the police sheriff of the mall where several people were murdered, shoots him in the head after Ryan murdered numerous retail employees. Many of the Shadyside kids think that this is due to a witch, Sarah Fier, who was put to death for witchcraft in 1666 and made a curse on the community.
Halloween Comedy Movies
It’s time to get in the spirit by watching some great comedy movies! This year there are lots of excellent horror-related comedies. If you’re looking for a good laugh this season, look no further than Halloween comedy films that will get you laughing at all things spooky.
The best comedy movie to watch on Halloween 2021 night is ”Halloweentown (1998).” This is a Disney Channel Original that’s a family-friendly movie. It features Debbie Reynolds as the matriarch of a brood of kids with magical abilities able to journey from their home on Halloweentown to our mundane world. This is an enchanting ride from start to finish, and it will have you laughing throughout as these extraordinary children do ordinary things in a place where the ordinary is magically transformed into something extraordinary as if they took a trip to Wonderland. A must-see on this Halloween night!
It’s a wonderful kids Halloween movie that isn’t really scary but does manage to bring out the spirit of Halloween.
90s Halloween Movies
90s Halloween Movies are a different breed from the horror films that come out nowadays. Can you imagine a b-rated 90s horror movie making over $100 million at the box office today? The past few years have been a bit of a letdown when it comes to original ideas and creativity in film, but there were a plethora of unique films in the past decades. These movies were unique for their time, and they also serve as a reminder of why we love Halloween.
So if you are looking to watch something unique on Halloween 2021, or if you are simply nostalgic for the 90s, check out one of these movies – if not all! There’s something here for everyone. If none of these movies interest you, you can always give the list of great horror movies a look, or check out what’s new for Halloween 2021!
