fall is quite literally the perfect season for myself. It has almost everything you can do during the summer without the cold snow and seasonal depression winter has. It has cold crisp air like no other. It has cloudy and windy days more often. It has Halloween. It has the feeling of sitting in a coffee shop and reading. It has the most amazing food. It has many candles. It has autumn bike rides. It has the best time of the school year and back to school shopping. It has the best movies. It has the best music. It has the best fashion. It has layered blankets. It has fog and mist. It has crunchy orange leaves. It has warm soup and hot tea. It's nostalgic. It has cozy fall sweaters and fluffy socks. It has baking. It has cars rides through orange colored forests. It has pumpkin patches. It has amazing scenery. It has spooky vibes everywhere. Overall, it's just the best season to be in.

my 3 fav cozy fun halloween watches that you can also watch
Winnie the Pooh, Boo to you too! also on archive .org!
- No stress
- Heartwarming <3
- Tiger's song "I wanna scare myself" always a banger
Probably the first halloween movie kid me ever saw, and still honestly my main go-to one. Visuals? Spoopy. Music? On point. Story? Friends wanting to spend halloween with their bestie no matter what. Piglet? Brave. Tiger? Relatable. Pooh? Wise and full of love. Goffer? Slaying. Eeyore? Zero energy and still trucking. Rabbit? A nervous wreck sobbing over his pumpkin patch. Perfect. We stan.
Hansel and Gretel (1987) also on archive .org!
- Family drama (is resolved)
- catchy music!
- i know some ppl can't stand child actors
- THE DUCK LIVES
- obviously food and eating are big plot points so yeah
Is it a halloween movie? No. Do I care? Not with treats this good looking, music this catchy, vibes this cozy, or a witch this awesome. We've got haunted woods and kids eating sweets and then playing the best trick of all on the witch who wanted to eat THEM- that sounds halloween-y enough to me! Plus the witch's reveal is legit creepy. Make sure you have snacks for this one. Also, if realistic family drama due to the trauma of poverty isn't your thing, skip to after the kids run into the woods.
Shelly Dvuall’s America’s Tall Tales And Legends: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow also on archive .org!
- Low stress
- Comedy as heck
- literally feels like someone telling you a ghost story
- AAAAAAAACTING!!!!!
- there is a spider during the picnic scene
THE CLASSIC! THE OG! MY FAV!!!! This was THE hallween movie to me as a kid- and now i completely get why! It's like watching a stage play where everyone LOVED every scene they were in- the vibes are spoooooky sometimes in an adorably camp way, and then charming and cozy the next! It has so much fun- there are so many lines that are memes to me- like ichabod THROWING himself into bed with "And if I......DIE... before I wake.... BRINGMEBACKTOLIFE!" and Katerina's eyerolling "....assuming I know the horse-" (it makes sense in context i swear) and and and the FUN of seeing Brom Bones 'crushing' a tankered angrily, acting out the strain of it, when you can clearly tell the prop is like, maybe the strength of a soda pop can XD.... But the best part is the stinger ending. How this whole story is ended with the sudden reveal of the REAL headless horseman (maybe?) and how THAT terrifying image is the last thing it leaves the watching kids with- it feels like that last jump scare at the end of a campfire ghost story, the hand reaching out to grab you for one final scream, and I love it. I love this whole thing so much.
Now.
If you DO want something spookier, but only in the atmospheric sense....
Whistle and I'll Come to You, also on archive .org
- Slow building stress
- Paranoia fuel
- There is no way the main character is neurotypical (relatable)
- a bedsheet ghost!!!!! YAY!
- a few audio startlements but otherwise all gradual scares
So this is based off a short story by an old not cool dead guy. It's about finding something in a grave and not heeding the warning label. I read the story years ago and was very pleased by the bedsheet ghost, the idea of feeling like Something Is Coming, and I can say that this adaption is... different, but does very good on setting up the vibes up until the ending. I'm bit let down by how the final bedsheet ghost turned out, and abrupt cut off to the story, but the vibes up till then is really fun to sink into. Some of the cinematography does a good job of making me aware of empty space, the feeling that Something I Can't See might also be in the frame. Spoooky.
