Top 5 Halloween Disney Movies To Watch (Because Actual Horror Movies Are Way Too Spooky!)
5. Twitches (2005)
Sister, Sister actresses Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Tamera Mowry-Housley star in this awesome Disney Channel original movie! The two girls play teen witches—Apolla and Artemis—who are separated at birth. The twins meet on their 21st birthday and realize that they must use their powers to save the world where they were originally born. I mean really, what’s better than early 2000s Tia and Tamera? You definitely HAVE to add this to your Halloween movie watch list.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Written by Tim Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas is about Jack Skellington (the king of Halloweentown) and his discovery of a very strange new land called Christmas Town. Starring Danny Elfman as Jack Skellington and Catherine O’Hara as Sally, this movie is definitely a classic! So if you have never seen The Nightmare Before Christmas (or you just haven’t seen it since last year), you should take a quick trip to Halloweentown and Christmas Town this year!

3. Halloweentown (1998)
Who could forget Marnie, Dylan, and Sophie?! For kids who grew up in the late 80s and early 90s, Halloweentown was the go-to Disney movie. Starring Debbie Reynolds and Kimberly J. Brown, the Disney Channel original movie is about 3 children who travel to Halloweentown and learn to defeat evil forces. From the time I was 5 to the time I was 13, I watched the movie (and it’s sequels, of course!) religiously each year. So if you haven’t seen Halloweentown for a few years, we think it’s high time to watch it again!

2. The Haunted Mansion (2003)
The Haunted Mansion is such a perfect blend of creepiness and humor. Starring Eddie Murphy as Jim Evers, the film follows a family on their accidental trip to a haunted mansion. Through talking crystal balls, dismembered heads, and spooky ghosts, The Haunted Mansion is sure to make you jump at least once! (Let’s be totally honest here, no one saw the spiders coming.)

1. Hocus Pocus (1993)
Watching Hocus Pocus every single year (or even 2, 3, or 10 times a year) is a totally acceptable ritual! Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy play three witch sisters who are resurrected on Halloween night in Salem, Massachusetts. The trio does an absolutely PHENOMENAL job of portraying the three witches; their comedic timing is hilarious their hair, makeup, and costumes are flawless, and their slight creepiness is perfect. And that is why it definitely has to be our top favorite Disney Halloween movie! Hocus Pocus is just one of those classic movies that we will NEVER get tired of watching 🙂
