So, I didn’t get everything I wanted for Christmas this year, but that’s okay, Santa. This is one present I didn’t mind buying for myself.

500 Days of Summer was released on DVD last Tuesday, and if you’re an even bigger fan of the movie than I am, you probably went out and bought it right away, making sure it was safely wrapped under the Christmas tree. I love this movie so much and can’t wait to make my family and friends watch it too. Plus, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are so cute together.

Whether you’re going out or staying in for Hallows Eve, cuddling up on the couch with a cup of hot cider and watching some scary movies with a couple of friends sounds divine. I’ve compiled a list of movies us girls here at Lulu*s adamantly believe are a must see for this time of year.

So call up the girls and pop in a DVD. There’s mystery in the air. Halloween is on its way.

1. Hocus Pocus – Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween with out this cult classic. (Amuck, Amuck, Amuck)

2. Practical Magic – Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are magical.

3. Casper – This friendly ghost is still cute and not so scary

4. Sleepy Hollow - This movie has just enough mystery without being too too scary. Plus, Johnny Depp stars. Need I say more?

5. The Adams Family – For when you feel like your family is dysfunctional.

6. Rocky Horror Picture Show - Another cult classic you need to experience at least once and then year after year after year.

7. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! – Because sometimes we need to feel like a kid again, even if we’re too old to trick-or-treat.
