Every year, to celebrate my favorite holiday in my favorite month, I take the October calendar and assign a Halloween-friendly movie or television show to every day. My wife and I do our best to stick closely to the schedule, without letting it control our free time. If we miss something, we’ll catch it next year.
This October, I decided to share the calendar, along with some helpful context:
First, and foremost, most of the films and television shows are family-friendly — or at least teenager friendly — unless marked otherwise. My wife faints at that site of extreme gore, and I am allergic to jump scares, so this is the rare Halloween list with few modern horror movies.
i confess, i've included an awful lot of simpsons
Second, I've included a substantial amount of The Simpsons, for three reasons: 1) The "Treehouse of Horror" specials are excellent. 2) Monday night is Monday Night Football, so I've scheduled the specials because they're short and sweet and can be packed in before bed, and 3) after watching The Simpsons on Monday night, you'll probably be like, "Wow, The Simpsons used to be so good, I'd love to watch another episode," which is why I made time for that on Tuesday evening.
Third, the list is a starting point. Feel free to modify what I've included, or create your own calendar. I'm leaving the comments section open so we can share our favorite Halloween shows and films with each other.
We're already into October, I know, but I'm including the first few days of the month anyway, so you can play catch up. ADSENSE HERE
