It’s October! The stores are filled with candy and, you guessed it, Halloween decorations. It’s the time of year when children and adults alike dress up in costumes to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve. There are plenty of ways to get into the spirit of the season, but our favorite way here at Sunset Palms is to watch some movies! We’ve got a few movie suggestions for you in this week’s blog, so get the couch in your apartment ready for hours of Halloween fun!

Hocus Pocus

After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison (Omri Katz) explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy) who used to live in the house. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal.

Scream

“The sleepy little town of Woodsboro just woke up screaming. There's a killer in their midst who's seen a few too many scary movies. Suddenly nobody is safe, as the psychopath stalks victims, taunts them with trivia questions, then rips them to bloody shreds. It could be anybody…”

Beetlejuice

“After Barbara (Geena Davis) and Adam Maitland (Alec Baldwin) die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes (Catherine O'Hara, Jeffrey Jones) and teen daughter Lydia (Winona Ryder) buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), a rambunctious spirit whose ‘help’ quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia.”
