31 Nights of Halloween

In case you couldn’t already tell by the Borderline Millennials Instagram feed, I am PUMPED Halloween is finally here!!

It’s truly the most wonderful time of the year for me. Cooler weather that isn’t ice-cold, treats that are covered in pumpkin and cinnamon, dressing up in some of your favorite characters and creatures, and, of course, eating lots and lots of candy! There are so many things to love about Halloween!

Not to beat a dead horse, but obviously, Halloween is another holiday that isn’t going to look typical this year because of Coronavirus. Trick ‘r’ Treating is discouraged (not like any of us are even young enough partake though), Disney and Universal canceled their special Halloween events, and walk-through haunted houses are a thing of the past. Fortunately, many activities have been reimagined to be COVID-friendly and some things will stay the same!

Aside from decorating your space in the most ghoulish and spirited decorations for this holiday, the tradition of watching the best and scariest Halloween movies will live on! Aside from Christmas, Halloween is a holiday with the biggest themed movie catalog! There are Halloween movies for kids, teens, and adults, as well as some for fans of animation, CGI, horror, and straight gore! There is a Halloween movie out there for everyone, and my goal is to open your eyes to the perfect Halloween movie for you!

This year, I’ve put together a list of 31 movies for you to watch throughout the 31 Nights of Halloween. These range from family-friendly to NSFW (Not Safe For Weenies). Without further ado, here is the Borderline Millennials’ 31 Nights of Halloween Movie List. Also, be sure to scroll through the entire list to get a free downloadable checklist of all 31 movies! 

Note - These movies are in no particular order, other than the order they popped into my head. Feel free to watch these in any order you’d like throughout October.
