At the beginning of 2024, I was feeling nostalgic and decided to rewatch a few childhood favorites of mine from the “Scooby-Doo” franchise. Even in my adult life, I frequently find myself going back to the franchise’s shows and movies when I want to throw something on. This year, watching one “Scooby-Doo” movie wasn’t enough, and it somehow turned into watching all 48 movies that have been made since 1987. As Halloween is coming up, I wanted to share my five favorites.
You may remember seeing a vivid retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven” in your middle school English class, where Homer Simpson plays a disturbed and lost lover haunted by Bart the raven. What you may not know is that this very episode is what ignited the tradition of annual “The Simpsons” Halloween episodes that parody classic horror films and supernatural spooky tales.
If you are looking for a Halloween movie to watch in these final days of October, look no further. Netflix’s new movie “Vampires vs. the Bronx” has been out since the beginning of the month, and you’ll want to watch it while it’s still in season. The movie, which is directed by “Saturday Night Live” director Osmany Rodriguez, is wholesome, funny and painfully corny at times, but with a serious and spooky twist.
