When Max (Omri Kratz) accidentally awakens the Sanderson Sisters, he must stop them from becoming immortal with the help of his sister, Dani (Thora Birch), and his new crush, Allison (Vinessa Shaw). The Sanderson Sisters are played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler, and Kathy Najimy which just makes it that much more iconic! It’s the perfect movie to watch with your family since it is kid-friendly!

2. Halloween (1978)

Starring Jaime Lee Curtis, Halloween (1978) is an absolute must watch. Micheal Myers murders his sister on Halloween night and is imprisoned.

3. The Sixth Sense 

The Sixth Sense focuses on Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) a young boy who has the ability to see dead people and his therapist played by Bruce Willis.
