5 Movies That Capture the Halloween Spirit
Since Halloween is just around the corner, I figured I’d put together a list of a few movies that really embody the spirit of the holiday, at least in my mind. These are movies that feature monsters, ghost stories, candy, costumes, and pretty much everything else that one could want. I also tried to go for a range of styles.
