Movie: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas
Review: 4/5
Overall, this movie was so fun to watch and super enjoyable. The music was great and I am a sucker for Tim Burton’s stop motion animation. It’s a great movie but the specifics of the movie are not memorable enough to give this movie a full 5 stars.

Movie: The Blair Witch Project
Review: 4/5
Such a well produced and developed movie. The acting was phenomenal and if I had first watched this movie in theaters when it came out I would most definitely question whether or not the film was real. Even though I normally do not watch horror movies I would most certainly recommend The Blair Witch Project. The ending left me absolutely speechless. A perfect horror movie if you are not a big fan of jump scares but love the element of mystery.

Movie: Hocus Pocus
Rate: 5/5
Honestly this is my favorite Halloween movie and quite possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. The chemistry between all the actors, the story, the humor, all perfect for the movie. Such a classic and original, the ‘blueprint’. Bette Miller, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy delivered one of my favorite song performances in a movie, 2nd only to 10 Things I Hate About You. The humor of the 90s led this movie to great jokes and one-liners. If you only watch one movie this Halloween weekend, watch this one.

Movie: Hocus Pocus 2
Rate: 3.5/5
It's a fun movie and exciting twist of a classic Halloween movie, but sequels rarely live up to the original. Still an awesome movie with a great cast; I loved how they brought back many of the original actors. The story was slightly cliche the same way a Disney Original movie is cliche. The ending was so sweet I cried, which is not shocking for me. A movie with a great message of sisterhood and friendship. I’m sure that if I rewatched the movie it would be rated higher, I highly recommend this movie.

Movie: Carrie (2013)
Rate: 4/5
This movie was throwing me for loops. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started aside from the iconic blood scene. Such a great movie, definitely felt like a Stephen King based movie. I know many people do not like this remake and do not think the horror element is as big of a factor as it is in the original movie. I have never seen the original movie so I had no expectations. Not extremely scary, but makes you think.

Movie: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Rate: 3.5/5
The iconic movie that is The Rocky Horror Picture Show is entertaining to watch. The story is a bit all over the place, but I think that’s the charm of the movie. It’s a revolutionary movie with a large cult following. The music was so exciting and different I loved it. I recommend this if you are in the mood for an exciting watch that will keep you glued to the screen.
