I'm not the kind of girl who likes gory, violent movies. Halloween for me is pumpkins and magic and something mysterious in the air. And Halloween is not Halloween without these three FABULOUS films.
Practical Magic is delicious Halloween fun and every time I curl up with my cocoa, I want
Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock's hair, their magical powers and THEIR HOUSE!!
The house in San Juan on the Puget sound
The Conservatory 
The Kitchen
The second fabulous pic on a romantically stormy night is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. What do you do when you are a beautiful widow who's just moved into her dream cottage by the sea and find you're now haunted by a devilishly attractive sea captain?
Rex Harrison is the Captain who loves Lucy
Lucy can't understand why she's hypnotized by this portrait until...
... she sees the real thing...
And finally! It may sound childish, but if you've never seen Disney's "Legend of Sleepy Hollow", you are in for a treat!! First, the illustrations are the most idyllic New England, Halloween scenes ever -- it's only 30 minutes but it is like chocolate cake after a steak dinner. Halloween isn't Halloween without Ichobad Crane!
Curl up on the couch, light the fire, unplug the phone and feel a little bit of magic.
Happy Halloween!
I love The Ghost and Mrs. Muir! Indeed a great movie for a cold stormy night :)
ReplyDeleteOhmygoodness! I've seen The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Don't watch that when you're half asleep and don't know what's going on. You will have the weirdest dreams EVAR.
