The overall ambiance of the whole movie sets the spooky vibe just right.

8: Clue

Once again, does this film really need any reason to watch it other than Johnny Depp? This one may not be the most mood boosting movie, but it is just great in every other way. You get attached to each character straight off the bat and is the perfect mix between romance and fantasy.

5: The Addams Family

3: Hocus Pocus

Bette Midler. That’s it. Most of us grew up on this movie and almost 30 years later, it has never gotten old.
