Nightmare Before Christmas

Watching The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of the top activities you can do in October, and you can also add this to your Christmas watchlist. The king of Halloweentown, Jack Skellington, becomes tired of his typical life and ultimately discovers Christmas Town. Things start to go awry as he attempts to control Christmas, but Jack Skellington eventually puts an end to this. This film even teaches us some incredible life lessons and will keep you guessing as to what will happen next. Come along for Jack Skellington's spectacular journey into Christmas Town!

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

You will undeniably feel the October spirit after watching this film, which also brings back nostalgic memories from your childhood. The peanut gang plans to go trick-or-treating, but Linus decides to stay behind and wait in the pumpkin patch for the Great Pumpkin, who he thinks will bring gifts to all the boys and girls. Will the Great Pumpkin show up just like he expected? Grab your family members and sit back and enjoy this wonderful, fun film together.

Coraline

Undoubtedly, Coraline is a favorite of many. Caroline, the main character, is overjoyed when she finds a hidden door in her new home that leads to an idealized alternate world. However, a closer examination of this world reveals sinister secrets, and Caroline's parallel family wants to keep her forever. The characters are fascinating and the animation is detailed, but the film is quite creepy and may be potentially unsettling-especially with the button-eyed characters.

Coco

Coco is certainly fantastic for the fall season. It tells the story of a young musician who aspires to be as successful as his musical hero. After stealing a guitar, he meets his deceased ancestors in the Land of the Dead and learns the truth about his family's history while attempting to return to the present with the aid of his relatives. The vibrant, well-designed animation and the heartwarming plot will keep you deeply invested for the entire time.

Corpse Bride

The Corpse Bride begins with Victor nervously rehearsing his vows for his wedding to Victoria, but as he rehearses, a tree branch, turning out to be Emily's hand, drags him to the land of the dead. She insists that she is now Victor's bride, but Victor refuses and desperately tries to return to the land of the living and reunite with his real bride, Victoria. Who do you suppose will get married? Will Victor live happily ever after, or will he meet an unfortunate end? Watch the movie to discover the characters' fates.
