I’m not going to lie…I’m watching a lot of TV now that my foot is broken. What else is there to do when you have to stay off your feet? I have seen a ton of commercials for ABC Family’s 13 Nights of Halloween, which I have always wanted to get into. Here is the lineup for this year.

I’m a little bummed that I don’t get to decorate my house this year because of my injury, but I can still get in the spirit so I decided to make my own 13 Nights of Halloween list. Keep in mind that I am a scaredy cat, so my list is pretty tame:

1. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

This is just a classic.

2. Hocus Pocus

I remember watching this movie around Halloween with my sister. It’s just a fun family movie for everyone.

3. Scream

This was such a big movie when I was in high school and I think one of the first of the teen dramas that were popular in the 90s. It is still pretty scary.

4. The Addams Family

This is another one I remember watching with my sister. A lot of good fun – I haven’t seen this movie in years!

5. Beetlejuice

This was not necessarily my favorite movie, but my sister LOVED this movie. I can’t count how many time she made me watch it, so I had to add it to the list.

6. Young Frankenstein

I think this movie is hilarious. If you haven’t seen it-watch it immediately…I mean right now! If I only had to pick one movie this would be it.

7. Psycho

This is the original scary movie and so creepy!

8. I Know What You Did Last Summer

I mostly chose this movie because I love Sarah Michelle Gellar and it’s classic 90’s.

9. The Grudge

This is all Sarah Michelle Gellar, but I remember seeing this in the theatre and being so creeped out on my way home, thinking that thing was going to be in my back window the whole time. I don’t even want to post this picture it is creeping me out.

10. The Hitcher

I think this might be one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Now I’m not much for scary movies so take that as you will, but I felt like this was more scary because it was more realistic than some other movies. The creepy way he says “Candy Cane” – I wish I could include my sound effects here while I am writing this because it is giving me the heebie jeebies just writing it.

11. The Rocky Horror Picture Show

I have always wanted to see this live on Halloween and do all the fun audience participation moves. Call me weird, but I pretty much know all the lyrics to all of the songs in this movie.

12. Clue

I really want to have a Clue-themed, murder mystery, Halloween party one year – I would be Miss Scarlet of course.

13. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This was the movie that started my Buffy obsession. I remember watching this movie in the 5th grade and a boy in my class would re-enact the scene where Paul Reubens died and I thought it was the funniest thing ever.

I also have to give an honorable mention to The Amityville Horror – it is worth watching just for Ryan Reynold’s abs.
