We don’t know anyone who doesn’t aspire to be Marnie Piper, the teenage witch in training. She has a super cool grandmother and most importantly, she gets to go to Halloweentown. JEALOUS. Halloweentown boasts some not-so-scary ghouls, and lessons in the unity of family and acceptance. While sitting back with some popcorn, encourage your kiddos to try sketching some of their favorite scenes, objects, or characters!

Halloween initiation begins with a viewing of Hocus Pocus. One might even argue that you are not a true Halloween fanatic until you have watched this classic. Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson are #squadgoals. Though they may be evil witches, you can’t help but love their unique sisterly bond. Which witch is your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
The Nightmare Before Christmas

Last, but not least, is a Tim Burton classic. The Nightmare Before Christmas is debatable as a Halloween or Christmas movie – so how about watching it on the final night of Hallow’s Eve to prepare for the holiday season? The Nightmare Before Christmas is filled with fun settings and unique characters! Make them even more entertaining by drawing your favorite peeps on a Scratch Art Set.
