- DirectorDuwayne DunhamStarsDebbie ReynoldsKimberly J. BrownJudith HoagWhen a young girl living with her secret witch mother learns she too is a witch, she must help her witch grandmother save Halloweentown from evil forces.Perhaps Halloweentown isn't the best Halloween DCOM, but for many, including myself, it is the first Halloween DCOM i saw. This film completely captures the atmosphere of Halloween, and that's why it still remains at the top.
- DirectorMary LambertStarsKimberly J. BrownJudith HoagDaniel KountzA young witch and her grandmother work together to foil the plans of a wicked warlock's son before he can use powerful spells to create chaos in the world.The second Halloweentown is my favorite sequel of the whole series. To be honest it is the only sequel in the franchise that I like. I put this one at number two because for some reason i always end up watching one and two back to back during the Halloween season. Personally I love them both equally, and if I could, I would put both of them at number one.
- 1997–20231h 29mUnrated6.2 (4.1K)TV EpisodeDirectorD.J. MacHaleStarsSteve GuttenbergNia PeeplesMichael McShaneA disgraced reporter investigates an abandoned luxury hotel where five people mysteriously disappeared sixty years earlier.I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Tower of Terror is one of my favorite attractions at the Disney Parks, so that explains my love for this movie. I love how the Tower looks in this movie and that they used the actual set of the attraction.
- DirectorGreg BeemanStarsAdam WylieMario YedidiaClara BryantThree curious teenagers and one very confused mummy collaborate through some risky adventures, with a race against time to reunite the mummy with his lover from 4,500 years ago.Under Wraps was the first official DCOM ever made, and still remains as one of the best. The Mummy in this movie is just adorable and puts a smile on my face everytime he hits the screen.
- DirectorStuart GillardStarsOlivia HoltKerris DorseyBrendan MeyerA teen girl goes on a mission to recapture a dangerous monster that she accidentally released before it can do harm to her parents.Girl Vs. Monster is fairly new in comparison to most of the DCOM's in this list. It captures the Halloween spirit in the right way. I espacially love the haunted house with its beautiful graveyard. And you got to love the song Fearless!
- DirectorStuart GillardStarsMark RendallKat DenningsRobert BockstaelRichard Carlyle returns to Steeple Falls with his two kids, Claire and Ian, after his father dies. Not having a good relationship with his dad, Richard wants to sell the hardware business and the house before returning to Boston. Ian and Claire discover a "ghost depot" where spirits gather to reach the other side. They find out that their grandfather's spirit never reached the depot. Mariah, Jumper, and Coffin Ed explain that his spirit may have been stolen by Zachariah Kull. 200 or so years ago, Zachariah was burned at the stake for killing his wife. Zachariah is now stealing spirits to gather power so he can take his revenge on Steeple Falls. It is up to Ian and Claire to stop Zachariah and save their grandfather's spirit.This 2002 DCOM is very special. From its adult themes of dealing with the loss of a loved one to its amazing cast featuring Eric Idle.
- DirectorBlair TreuStarsTaylor HandleyCorinne BohrerCaitlin WachsA young man working at a cinema on a special premiere night discovers that the films being shown are full of strange and eerie occurrences.This modern retelling of Phantom of the Opera is great,starring the late Mickey Rooney. I love that the movie is set almost entirely in a movie theater. Overall a great love letter to the movie going experience.
- DirectorSteve BoyumStarsMatt O'LearyLaura VandervoortMyles JeffreyTwo kids set their mom up on a date with a vampire!Yet again another classic DCOM with a great cast and story.
- DirectorPaul HoenStarsRowan BlanchardParis BerelcKaran BrarTeenager Cleo's school science project goes quite awry, causing her popular older sister Molly to go invisible.A surprisingly good DCOM. I love how the film touches upon the theme of invisibility.
- DirectorKenneth JohnsonStarsErin ChambersTy HodgesRobin RikerA teen enlists the help of an imaginary friend named Larry Houdini to deal with a prank-playing bogeyman, who's framing her for his dastardly deeds.This one is probably my least favorite classic Halloween DCOM. That doesn't mean i dislike it. The whole atmosphere is great and it is definitely the scariest one of this list.
- DirectorStuart GillardStarsTia MowryTamera Mowry-HousleyKristen WilsonTwin witches who were separated at birth and were adopted by two different families meet on their 21st birthday and must use their powers to save the world in which they were born, where their birth mother still lives.To be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of TWitches. I like the ideas and I know that a lot of people love this film but it isn't for me i guess.
- DirectorStuart GillardStarsTia MowryTamera Mowry-HousleyKristen WilsonAfter using their powers to battle the forces of darkness, the sisters settle down to lead normal lives. However, the discovery that their biological father may not be dead, but residing in New York, causes confusion for the pair.The same problem as the first one.
- DirectorMark A.Z. DippéStarsKimberly J. BrownDebbie ReynoldsJudith HoagA girl in a magical world bets her family's magic that nothing bad will happen when kids from Halloweentown attend high school in the mortal realm.I just don't like it. The magic from the first two films seems te be gone everytime I watch it.
- DirectorDavid JacksonStarsSara PaxtonJudith HoagLucas GrabeelMarnie and Dylan are going to follow their dreams to go to college, at Halloweentown University, which is also known as Witch University.Hmmm, don't know what to say about this one, cool ideas?
