These are my picks as best movies for the scaredy-cats who want to get into the spooky season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hocus Pocus<\/strong><br>A 90\u2019s cult classic staring a young Sarah Jessica Parker and Bette Midler. Max and his sister accidently free a coven of three evil witches, the Sanderson sisters, after his friend tells him a story about the witches. With the help of an ornery talking cat, the three must steal the witches\u2019 book before they become immortal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a favorite for anyone born in the 90\u2019s to the early 2000\u2019s, probably due to the amazing rendition of \u201cI Put a Spell on You\u201d by the Sanderson sisters. It puts adults into a trance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beetlejuice<\/strong><br>Another Halloween staple for kids of the 90\u2019s. It features a young Winona Ryder, before she went on to pray to Christmas lights to find her missing son. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movie follows a couple who were killed in a freak accident and now haunt their house, which has been sold to a couple of hipsters. Unable to scare off the new family, the couple calls upon Beetlejuice whose \u201chelp\u201d quickly turns dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beetlejuice is a role that Michael Keaton was born to play and it is difficult to picture anyone else playing the crazy, mischievous character.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coraline<\/strong><br>Coraline falls on the cusp of being a scary movie. Although meant for children, quite a few adults get the chills watching this Tim Burton stop motion animation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young Coraline and her dull family move in to a new home. While exploring, Coraline stumbles upon a small hidden door which leads to a parallel universe. In this parallel universe Coraline meets her perfect \u201cOther Mother.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In many ways this other world is better than the life that she\u2019s used to. Until it takes a sinister turn and \u201cOther Mother\u201d tries to keep Coraline forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This movie is perfect for anyone who is a Tim Burton addict. The stop motion animation in this film is beautiful. Hands down an amazing movie for anyone who wants to dip their toes into a little bit of horror.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Kiki Bennett&#8211;Horror isn\u2019t for everyone.
