Use this free printable Halloween Movie Bucket List to keep track of spooky and classic Halloween movies that you want to watch this year! You could even use the free movie list to create a new fun Fall family tradition!
When October arrives and the weather turns cooler, there’s nothing I enjoy more than curling up under a fleece blanket and watching movies. And now that our daughters are a bit older, we make it a family affair! One night a week, we order pizza and we all pile in bed to watch a family movie together.
It’s one of my absolute favorite things to do as a family, because we all enjoy watching a good flick, and it’s an inexpensive and fun way to spend some quality time with each other.
So I decided to take our October movie nights one step further with this free printable Halloween movie bucket list! My family and I recently sat down to plan out our movie nights for the Fall months, and I’m sharing my cute Halloween bucket list templates with you so that your movie-loving monsters can enjoy this fun October tradition, too!
