Halloween Movies on Sale Now
‘Halloween’ (2018) – $2.99 rental
Forty years after surviving Michael Myers’ killing spree, Laurie Strode has built her life around being ready for his return. When he escapes custody and heads back to Haddonfield, she must face the threat that has haunted her for decades. Jamie Lee Curtis returns for a tense showdown that carries the legacy of one of Halloween’s defining horror franchises into a new generation.
‘Practical Magic’ (1998) – $2.99 rental
Sisters Sally and Gillian Owens have grown up with a gift for witchcraft and a family curse that makes falling in love a dangerous proposition. When trouble brings them back together, they turn to their magical roots and each other for help. Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, Practical Magic has become a seasonal favorite for its blend of romance, sisterhood and cozy witchy atmosphere.
‘Ghostbusters’ (1984) – $2.99 rental
After losing their university jobs, three paranormal researchers go into business catching ghosts — just as New York City’s supernatural activity starts getting out of hand. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis lead a comedy packed with mischievous spirits, memorable one-liners and a very large marshmallow problem. With its familiar theme song and unforgettable ghosts, Ghostbusters is a Halloween movie-night staple with more laughs than scares.
‘Scream’ (1996) – $2.99 rental
A masked killer begins targeting teenagers in Woodsboro, turning Sidney Prescott’s life into a nightmare with an unsettling knowledge of horror movies. As the body count rises, knowing the genre’s rules offers little reassurance. Directed by Wes Craven, Scream helped redefine the slasher movie with its sharp humor and tense whodunit, introducing Ghostface as an enduring fixture of Halloween.
‘The Addams Family’ (1991) – $2.99 rental
Gomez Addams is delighted when his long-lost brother Fester seemingly returns, but Morticia suspects their visitor may be hiding something. As a scheme threatens the family’s fortune, the eccentric household rallies in its own wonderfully macabre way. Starring Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia and Christina Ricci, The Addams Family brings one of spooky season’s most recognizable families to life with dark humor and plenty of charm.
‘The Blair Witch Project’ (1999) – $1.99 rental
Three student filmmakers head into the Maryland woods to investigate a local legend, recording their search for answers as the trip takes an increasingly disturbing turn. A landmark in found-footage horror, The Blair Witch Project builds dread from strange sounds, mounting tension and the fear of what might be waiting beyond the camera’s view. The woods feel a little less welcoming afterward.
