It’s October, which means it’s finally time for the I Watch More Movies Than You Halloween speciali come on ghouls and goblins! We each bring a top 10 list of the best Halloween movies, and the lists couldn’t be more different. Bobby’s is a “wife-inspired” list of films he discovered with his better half. My flicks are a mix of nostalgia, hidden Halloween and horror gems, plus some fantastic autumnal magic.

Along the way, we discuss:

  • Why Halloween is the greatest holiday, and whether movies are what carried it into the zeitgeist
  • Our favorite Halloween memories, from Bobby’s “nineties Halloween” neighborhood to Ken’s papaw’s dead arm hanging from the attic door
  • Fan-favorite picks including Trick ‘r Treat, Idle Hands, Freddy vs. Jason, Hocus Pocus, Scream, Coraline and Practical Magic
  • Hot takes on the Harry Potter time turner (Bobby still doesn’t buy it)
  • A look at the Halloween franchise, with both hosts agreeing on the 1978 original for the top spot - OR DO WE!? THE BOOGEYMAN DISCUSSION!

Which movie did we miss? And who’s the “slooty ___” costume of the year? Let us know in a five-star review, and stick around, because we’re doing a Halloween-themed episode every week this October.
