Be sure to work your way through the hop for more chances at winning the grand prize of oneΒ $60 Amazon gift card to be chosen via Rafflecopter
October means Halloween which equals ghosts or in my case, ghost movies. I love a good ghost movie, but confession, Iβm not that great about scary movies. Aside from a few (I Know What You Did Last Summer, Valentine, Scream) I havenβt seen any and really donβt want to. Nope, I prefer my ghosts more on the comedic side of things. So below, find my top list of fun, βfeel goodβ ghost movies.
In no particular order:
Topper – With Cary Grant & Constance Bennett.
A wealthy couple die in a car accident and deciding that a good deed will get them to heaven, decide to help their banker, Topper. Hilarity ensues.
Haunted Honeymoon – With Gene Wilder, Gilder Radner & Dom DeLuise
Beetlejuice – Starring Michael Keaton and Geena Davis, a classic from the 80s.
The Ghost Breakers (1940) – Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard
Mary Carter inherits her family’s ancestral home, located on a small island off Cuba, and, despite warnings and death threats, decides to take possession of the reputedly haunted castle. She is joined by radio broadcaster Larry Lawrence who, believing he has killed a mob gunman, flees New York with his butler, Alex. Once on the island the threesome enter the eerie castle and after viewing the ghost of one of Mary’s ancestors and fighting off a menacing zombie, they find the key to the castle’s treasure but are interrupted by an all-too-human foe.
The Cat and The Canary – Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard – A mysterious house, a power outage, a reading of a will and someone murdered? Perfect. Add in some hidden passageways, a few attempts and itβs a fun mystery.
Ten years have passed since the death of millionaire Cyrus Norman. Relatives gather at midnight in a creepy old house for the reading of his will whereupon the local prison guard arrives to warn all assembled that a homicidal maniac known as ‘The Cat’ has escaped and could be heading for the house…
What about you, what do you prefer to watch on Halloween? Did I miss a fun ghost movie in my list?

See you there!
Thanks Karen! π
I liked the excerpt. I loved Bettlejuice me and the kids watched it over and over. thank you for your part of the hop.
Thanks Felicia. Beetlejuice is pretty much a classic π
I LOVE the Adams Family movies! They are a Halloween must for me.
Another classic! I always loved Morticia
I really enjoyed ‘Beetlejuice’ – a great choice for Halloween, I think!
Thanks Hywela! It’s such a fun movie. Love the scene where they’re dancing around the dining table.
You missed Young Frankenstein (that’s Fran-en-schtein!) – one of my favorite Gene Wilder movies of all time!!!
You know, Kat, I’m not sure I ever saw that one because I don’t remember it. I’ll have to look at the trailer on youtube.
like Beetlejuice
I *love* rewatching Hocus Pocus! A cool, new movie added to my list is Repo: The Genetic Opera. Anthony Stewart Head plays a man hired to repossess organs if their new owners don’t pay on time. Not really scary, but cool π
Hocus Pocus is a fun movie. Thanks for the rec, Sarah, love Anthony Stewart Head so will have to check it out. Sounds interesting π
Lisa,
Poltergeist always scared me senseless. The Exorcist also (but it’s not technically a ghost story.).
Great post. Thank you so much for participating in the Snarkology Hop. Best of luck with your promo.
Thanks Melissa! The Exorcist is a scary one. Not sure I’ve honestly seen all of it.
Great excerpt! I’ve read “If Tomorrow Comes” by Sidney Sheldon and i loved that.
Thanks for stopping by the blog, Lisa
That was a great list of movies, I had forgotten about Topper.

Thanks Jean. Topper’s one of my all time favorites.
I LOVE the Adams Family movies! They are a Halloween must for me.
They are good, Laurie. I’ll have to dig them out and watch them again one of these days. Think its been years since I’ve seen them.
I love to watch ‘The Last Man on Earth’ I love Vincent Price.
Vincent Price is great. Thanks for stopping by, Krysta!
