When it
comes to anything involving fall, I am pretty much the most ‘basic white girl’
out there, or at the very least in the top ten. When the first official day of
fall hits I have a Starbucks drink in hand, will eat anything that is pumpkin
flavored, and I am always slightly disappointed if it is not could enough to
wear a sweater the first day of fall, because, well…it is also the official
start of sweater weather season.
Along
with all things Fall I enjoy the occasional scary movie. Make fun of me all you want, but when it
comes to scary movies, I usually gravitate towards ones where there is 0.01%
chance of it actually happening in real life and movies that usually have a
happy ending. Sorry, not sorry, but Halloween and Texas Chain Saw Masssacre are
just not for me. Plus, I scare easily; this past weekend I watched Double,
Double, Toil and Trouble, {a classic Olsen twin movie from the 90s} and not
gonna lie, there were parts of that movie that scared me.
Even
though I am not a big thrill seeker when it comes to being scared from the
comfort of my own home, I still enjoy a good Halloween movie. With Fall
floating around and Halloween just around the corner I thought it would be fun
to share some of my favorite scary movies.
Hocus
Pocus// I absolutely love the fact that this has become the iconic movie of the
Halloween. I mean, if you don’t watch Hocus Pocus is it actually fall?
On
Halloween night Allison, Max Dennison, and his sister, Dani, breaks into an old
historical house that is rumored to have house three sisters that just happened
to be witches. Max not believing the story of the story of the three witches
lights the black flame candle, and accidently brings the three evil witches
back to life. With the help of a cat, Max, Dani, and Alison have to prevent
them from becoming immortal.
Rear
Window// Warned you I was not a big scary movie person, but who can resist a
classic mystery/murder movie, especially when it’s done by Hitchcock.
A
photographer with a broken leg spends his time recuperating by spying on his
neighbors, who are actually more interesting than he originally thought. One
night he sees what he believes to be a murder, and decides to solve the crime
himself after speaking with the police. With the help of his girlfriend and
nurse, he attempts to catch the murderer without anyone else being killed.
The
Conjuring// This movie is about as scary as I will do. The only reasons I’m
able to watch is 1) I pretend it’s not based on a real story 2) the special
effects are not that convincing 3) it has a good ending and everyone lives.
A family
of 7 unknowingly moves into a house haunted by spirits {side note: I’m scaring
myself just writing about this movie…}. The family eventually comes to the
realization that their houses is indeed haunted, and calls in paranormal
experts.
Jaws// I
know, I know, shark attacks actually do happen in weird life, but sharks are
animals and not sinister people so I can deal with this one. By the way, the first Jaws is the best, in my
humble opinion.
The small,
almost storybook type town, located is Amity Island, New England, becomes a
finding ground for the shark, formally know as Jaws. When the first attack
takes place police chief, Martin Brody, wants to close the beaches, but the
Mayor won’t allow such a thing, which turns out to be a mistake, setting a
whirlwind of drama and tragedy in to motion.
