The fall season is quickly approaching, and people couldn’t be happier. It’s time to pull out the decorations from storage, make festive recipes, and celebrate holidays.
For many, a big part of the holiday season is watching movies, especially films that give off that warm, cozy, holiday feeling. Some avid film fans even reserve some movies for only specific times of the year and won’t watch them in any other season. During fall, some fan favorites include Hocus Pocus, The Addams Family, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. For many of us, these movies give such a nostalgic feeling, as we watched these movies with our families as children, making traditions for years to come.
Here at The Wolf Howl Newspaper, we have many favorite festive and fall-themed movies, both cozy and spooky! Some of our favorites include The Sound of Music, Friday the Thirteenth, Beetlejuice, and Halloweentown. We think watching your favorite fall-season movies is the best way to transition out of summer and get into the holiday spirit. With the Arizona weather finally starting to cool down, this is the perfect opportunity to gather your friends and family and settle in with a fall-themed film.
Even established movie theaters are capitalizing on this trend. Both local and national movie theater chains are showing re-runs of classic and crowd-pleasing favorites on their big screens. Cinemark Theaters recently offered a marathon of all eight Harry Potter movies from August 26 to September 1 in their theaters across the country. While many movies may be streaming digitally now, theaters are a fun throwback to do with your friends and family. Horror fans can catch spooky favorites like Paranormal Activity and Five Nights at Freddy’s during September and October as part of AMC Theater’s Blumfest 2024 event, while fans of anime or Hayao Miyazaki can check out Studio Ghibli Fest 2024, showing at local AMC, Cinemark, and Regal Theatres now through the end of the year.
Arizonans are impatiently awaiting autumn. With our weather slowly inching toward the eighties, the fall season is quickly approaching, and it can’t come fast enough! In the meantime, you’ll find us curled up on our couches, wishing for crunchy leaves, crisp nights, and maybe even a spooky thrill or two.
