Here in Germany, Halloween isn’t a big deal. There aren’t decorations, and stores have already shifted to Christmas merchandise. (Lust auf Zimtsterne und Lebkuchen? Dann habe ich gute Nachrichten fuer dich!) However, I’m still in the mood for something spooky scary. So here’s the list of Halloween movies and shows I want to watch before October 31.
1) What We Do in the Shadows
A cult classic for a reason. It’s a mockumentary following a group of vampires around New Zealand. It’s a hilarious film, and I forget how it ends about half the time, so it never fails to delight me!
2) The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Selected episodes only. I like the series as a whole, but there are parts I’d rather skip. I love the dark baptism storyline, and the Christmas episode is nice and creepy.
3) Hocus Pocus
Yes, I’m one of those people.
4) Riverdale Season 1, Episode Six
It’s the best episode of Riverdale, which often toes the line between soap opera and creepy Halloween fare. Josie and the Pussycats singing over Jughead and Betty finding Jason’s car is perfection.
5) This episode of Even Stevens
To this day one of the creepiest episodes of television I’ve ever seen.
6) David S Pumpkins
Until I die. I’ve been boycotting SNL ever since the election of 2016, but David SP cannot be denied.
This is quite a list, but I only have class two days a week and my visa hasn’t arrived so I don’t have a job yet. I plan on enjoying a lot of these this weekend as the temperature drops into the 40s cuddled up with a mug of tea and a bag of German chocolate. (Running out of candy – that’s the spookiest Halloween of all!)
