Hello, hello, welcome back to another one of my posts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me start off by saying: if you get my title reference, I love you and comment if you did.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As we all know Spooky Season is approaching and this is the time of the year when almost everyone summons their inner child and gets accompanied with the tricks and treats.\u00a0<\/span>There are other ways for us to celebrate the Fall weather that has the scent of pumpkin spice and background noise of Scary Halloween audio playlists; whether it\u2019s going to haunted houses, or reading horror books (my personal favorite), or just cuddling up with your favorite snacks during this time; we do it our own ways.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Well, one of my ways to spend this time is by rewatching scary childhood movies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes!\u00a0 The movies my ten-year-old self would cry while watching it in the morning daylight and with all my family in the house with me (I couldn\u2019t help it; it was too scary.)\u00a0 It\u2019s better now though because I can watch these in a thunderstorm with all the power out, alone like a breeze (I don\u2019t know why I\u2019m lying to myself) and I enjoy it.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 With that being said, for this post I\u2019m going to rate my top three scary movies from my childhood that I think you should watch.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n



<\/p>\n

# 3 \u00a0 Tim Burton\u2019s, The\u00a0Corpse Bride\u00a0<\/h1>\n

\"\"\u00a0

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I was about a 6 -7-year-old child when I cried watching the ending of this movie at my grandma\u2019s house.\u00a0 It was so sad which was kind of a relief to me then because it was really scary.\u00a0<\/span>The movie itself though was deep and now that I\u2019m older I realize, the man had to make some sacrifices.\u00a0 Now, for those who hasn\u2019t watched the movie here\u2019s the rundown:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The movie is a stop-animated film that\u2019s romance and fantasy (also horror to people like me)\u00a0<\/span>starring Johnny Depp playing the main male lead; Victor Van Dort and Helena Bonham Carter playing the female lead; Emily a.k.a. The Corpse Bride, in the Victorian Gothic era.\u00a0<\/span>Victor Van Dort is a man whose parents have betrothed him to Victoria Everglot because the Everglots need the money from the Van Dorts and the Van Dorts want their entry into high society.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Personally, I really loved Victoria. She was so sweet, Victor also loved her, he just didn\u2019t love the situation.\u00a0 Since Victor didn\u2019t like the idea of being married for influence, he got cold feet during wedding rehearsals and decided to leave to practice for his wedding vows (thinking about what he truly wants).\u00a0 He didn\u2019t know where he was running to, he just kept running until he had gotten to the forest.\u00a0 Which was all blue and gray and looked whimsical but scary in a good way.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>While he\u2019s practicing his wedding vows there\u2019s a strange presence there, like someone is listening to him, Victor still practicing what he\u2019s going to say to Victoria he puts her wedding ring on a \u201cbranch.\u201d \u00a0 He plans to continue his own personal wedding rehearsal when the tree wakes up and the scene with Victor getting scared happens.\u00a0 Once all of that has passed it is revealed that the tree was actually a dead woman\u2019s corpse, and she claims that she\u2019s now married to Victor.\u00a0 Sadly, Victor has to decide if he wants to stay married to her for eternity.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>There are more details, like the fact that Emily is cursed because she was wrongly killed, and she won\u2019t rest until she either gets married or finds peace.\u00a0 Another thing is that a rich snotty dude is trying to marry Victoria while Victor starts falling for Emily and can\u2019t decide which bride he truly wants.\u00a0 \u00a0 Does he want Emily, the dead bride who vowed to be set free by her true love, or does he want Victoria, the one he\u2019s supposed to marry?\u00a0 \u00a0 Love and sacrifice are the theme of this movie, especially if it\u2019s worth someone whose heart doesn\u2019t even beat.\u00a0 <\/span>I loved this movie so much as a child, I don\u2019t really watch it anymore because of personal reasons.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>For the people who do love gothic animation films and are huge fans of Tim Burton I think you should go and watch it. \u00a0 The graphics in the movie were cry worthy.\u00a0 It brought the aesthetic it needed to the table. \u00a0 Also, it has potential to be a classic.\u00a0 I rate it a 7\/10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a question for those who haven’t watched this?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>What did you do in your childhood? \u00a0 Like genuinely, okay, okay kidding. <\/span>I\u2019m only kidding, I\u2019m just wondering who hasn\u2019t gotten the time to watch this.\u00a0 This is the literal movie that I played day in and day out during the Fall season.\u00a0 Even after Halloween and Netflix made a mistake by adding it on there because I would ride the bus to school in the morning watching this.\u00a0 Go to sleep with this playing in the background, I had two DVDs of this during quarantine and this is what I would watch back-to-back. \u00a0 I know it sounds obsessive but it\u2019s a part of the tradition once you watch it at your very first sleepover.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Also, it\u2019s okay if you don\u2019t get my reasoning for the love of this movie if you never watched this, I\u2019m going to tell you what\u2019s it all about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three main characters:\u00a0 a young boy, who is about 12-13 named DJ, his best friend an adorable boy named Chowder, and DJ\u2019s crush and everyone\u2019s favorite character, a girl named Jenny.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>The movie introduces us to DJ\u2019s life. \u00a0 DJ is a boy who really loves all things science fiction and supernatural which at his age is understandable, but DJ just doesn\u2019t want to be seen as a little kid who enjoys sci-fi, he wants to be a grown teenager.\u00a0 \u00a0 He aims for being seen as an adult, but his parents get him a babysitter as they travel away on Halloween\u2019s eve.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Later in the movie we get introduced to Chowder, he\u2019s DJ\u2019s best friend.\u00a0 Chowder wants to go play basketball and discuss plans for Halloween.\u00a0 They go to play basketball in DJ\u2019s yard when the ball falls in Nebbercracker\u2019s yard. NebberCracker is an old house where this sad old man lives.\u00a0 He hates when children or anyone steps onto his yard.\u00a0 The reason why; well, his house is alive, and the boys find that out when the house eats their ball.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>The boys are scared to go after that, but they really need their ball back.\u00a0 The retreat of the ball is the piece that pushes all of the dominoes.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Nebbercrakcer sees them and has a heart attack while screaming at DJ to get off the yard.\u00a0 DJ starts to feel guilty thinking he killed a man.\u00a0 The boys stay in the house scared with the evil babysitter Vee.\u00a0 \u00a0 They meet Jenny when she\u2019s trying to sell at the Nebbercracker house, and the boys decide they need to save her before the house eats her too. \u00a0 They run to get her right as the house is going to take her in.\u00a0 After the experience of what they all saw the boys and the girl become a trio. \u00a0 Then we see the plot and the endgame of the movie; to disclose the secret of the Haunted House and put an end to the Nebbercracker curse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am so obsessed with the ending of this movie.\u00a0 It is literally a 9\/10 (one point away because of the sad storyline of Mrs. Nebbercracker ).\u00a0 \u00a0 All of the characters are funny and love how the house has the parts of a human. \u00a0 Just really enjoyed how each secret played out and how the characters fought at the end.\u00a0 I know most of us watched it so please go rewatch it to start off your spooky season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m being so real when I say this movie is <\/span>ELITE <\/b>(to me it is, you are welcome to disagree).\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>This movie is the movie I\u2019m still sometimes scared to watch alone. \u00a0 I mean there are a lot of scenes that make my skin crawl (the old cottage scene for sure with the dude that has the book) and make me cover my eyes because I would panic if I was in that situation. \u00a0 This is the movie that my older sister picked out for herself and fell asleep on, leaving me wide awake to watch the horrors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>The animation on this movie is so life-like that the water they drank made me thirsty and it was fake. \u00a0 Just know, this movie is nostalgic for me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2012 \u00a0 stop-motion animated comedy horror film centers its story in the town Blithe Hollow where 11-year-old Norman Babock lives. \u00a0 Norman Babock is perceived to be a normal boy who just does his daily routine of talking to his grandmother, you know even though she\u2019s dead.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Yes, Norman can speak to the dead, no one believes him though.\u00a0 No one except for his best-friend Neil.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Norman doesn\u2019t seem to mind that no one believes him (he actually kind of understands) the only thing he doesn\u2019t understand is why he has the ability.\u00a0 He’s not special or anything, or so he thinks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Norman wants this to be a regular day when he just rehearses for his school play that\u2019s based on the Salem trials, but no,\u00a0 he has to have his dead ghost uncle show up and tell him he has a special ritual to do or the whole town will feel the fury of a curse cast by a witch who was wronged by Blithe Hollow way back in time.\u00a0 Norman thinks this is crazy, but he also realizes this could be his purpose in this world, so he agrees to do it.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>Norman and unlikely companions go through obstacles fighting the undead and going through what seems like the end of the world to break the curse.\u00a0 In the midst of it all Norman discovers the horrid truth behind the curse which also helps him find a piece of himself.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Now the only thing standing between the town, and which is the decision of what Norman believes is the right thing to do.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love this movie so much; I rate it a 11\/10.\u00a0 The animation was beautiful and the lesson the story tells is so unique and something everyone should learn.\u00a0 Also, it\u2019s a fun movie for the kids and the parents, there\u2019s a good number of jokes in there for everyone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
