trouble; Fire burn and
cauldron bubble.
(In memory of Shakespeare, the original spook-maester)
On the 24th year of life, I am excited to announce that, at last, my duties to this season have been fulfilled. From PG friendly whiskers phase to fitting into adult interpretations of Disney princesses in my teenage years, I announce my temporary retirement from the dress up. This year, I will be advocating for more cozy terms of celebration. And if you have never dressed as an Alice in the Wonderland, ma'am, you got at least a few more Halloweens in you. Where was I going with this? Oh yes, this year, I am bringing back the new basic. To join me, please review the following 10 Films For You To Start Binge Watching Today.
Disclaimer: this post does not contain "Hocus Pocus". Although, absolutely do watch it.
1. Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters 2 (1989) - only a true 90's kid would have hummed the theme song from reading the title, am I right?
2. Casper (1995) - Christina Ricci, the witty gothic queen of my childhood starring in a mischievous storyline with one friendly ghost named Casper.
3. The Addams Family (1991) and The Addams Family Values (1993) - is there a more iconic family, then the kooky Addams Family?
4.Practical Magic (1998) - modern day witches played Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman share the tips on love and the importance of choosing the right spell or beware, your ex boyfriend might just make a come back from the dead
5. Beetlejuice (1998) - Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
A deceased couple, one obnoxious poltergeist and a suburban American family all meet under one roof under the directing work of Tim Burton.
6. Death Becomes Her (1992) - Wrinkled, wrinkled little star, hope they never see the scars - a black comedy directed by no other than Robert Zemeckis, also known as the whiz-kid of special effects from the Spielberg camp of film-making. Zemeckis would later go on to produce and direct classics, such as Forrest Gump (1994), Cast Away (2000) and Ghost Ship (2002) to name a few.
The Death Becomes Her, stars Goldie Hawn, Meryl Streep and Bruce Wills, who come together in a wandering storyline of when two ladies of his life learn of an immortality treatment..
7. The Witches of Eastwick (1987) - what do you get when you put Jack Nicholson, Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer in one room? A dark fantasy.
8. Mars Attacks! (1996) - I might have as well dedicated an appreciation post to Tim Burton's investment into cinematography, though, I would not be able to cut the list as short as down to 10 films, we know that you'd obviously have to watch them all.
