As covid cases continue to rise, it is clear that Halloween will not be the same this year. There won’t be any little kids ringing your doorbell, and big Halloween parties are obviously out of the question. Although Halloween is going to be extremely different, it is still important to get into the holiday spirit. One of the best alternative ways to celebrate is to watch classic Halloween movies. For the people who want to watch a spooky movie but are not sure which ones are the best, here is the perfect list of the top five best Halloween movies.

In fifth place is the classic movie Hocus Pocus. The movie stars Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. It is centered around three witches from Salem who resurrect just in time for Halloween. If you want to watch a fun comedy movie, Hocus Pocus is perfect for you and can be streamed from Disney+.

4. Coraline

In fourth place is Coraline. Coraline is an animated movie about a young girl who travels through a door to an alternate universe.
