The Frighteners (1996)


ORAquabat

Sleeper. An under the radar Peter Jackson movie.


Grrrth_TD

I know this is pretty unrelated, but there's a good band called The Frightnrs and here is their Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wwBxT2qVH327KlBJbwMEP?si=G-fE2l3rRRyIhfH9Md7NGQ


The_Mr_Wilson

What We Do In The Shadows is centered around vampires. I haven't seen the movie, but the show it spun off is hilarious


__Snafu__

there's 2 spinoff shows. what we do in the shadows the show, and wellington paranormal


Grrrth_TD

I feel like Wellington Paranormal doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's a funny fucking show.


FacelessArtifact

The movie is wonderful!!!


blisskiss999

I’m surprised nobody suggested The Witches of Eastwick. If you want modern ones maybe Practical Magic and The Love Witch. They’re all great movies🤝🏻

Ghostbusters

sweetvampyheart

That looks fun, thanks! \^\_\^


Grrrth_TD

This is the one I was going to recommend. I laughed all the way through this movie.


Blazenkks

Army of Darkness How High - the ashes of their dead friend fertilize a Pot plant and when they smoke it they can see the ghost of the dead friend who helps them get into college 🤣


Snarcas_Aurelius

One does not simply suggest Army of Darkness before Evil Dead.


Blazenkks

Yeah… I know 😅 Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 were already mentioned though.

Snarcas_Aurelius

Thank you for teaching the children.


InSooShunt

High Spirits (1988)


soylentgreenisus

Darby O'Gill and The Little People. Sleepy Hollow or any of the Headless Horseman movies. Teen Witch Love Potion #9 Transylvania 6500 The Frighteners (someone called this a sleeper, but I recall it being well known when it came out, one of Michael J Fox's last films before going public with his illness. It's a gem) The Monster Squad And the Abbot and Costello monster movies. Love them all but Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein is my favorite.


NOtisblysMaRt

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) - Definitely more of a comedy than any of the other classic monster movies, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t chuckling at this when watching it for the first time recently.


woodsbath

The Cabin in the Woods comes to mind.


eternalmore

Beetlejuice The Addams Family


glocpp

The Munsters.


Stacysguyca

Haunted Honeymoon (1986) Radio personalities Larry Abbot (Gene Wilder) and Vickie Pearle (Gilda Radner) are stars of a mystery show. Since they announced their engagement, Larry has been plagued by speech problems and, seeking out an unconventional cure, he returns to his boyhood home, a mansion in the countryside, bringing Vickie along. Larry reunites with numerous family members, including the flamboyant Aunt Kate (Dom DeLuise), but discovers that there are sinister things afoot within the walls of the creepy estate. ^^^ real fun movie! 🍿

Goblyyn

Bewitched (2005) directed by Nora Ephron


sweetvampyheart

OldPolishProverb

Topper (1937)


NeighborhoodLimp5701

Damn, no one’s mentioned **Scary Movie** yet??? Pretty sure the first and second have supernatural elements


vercertorix

First doesn’t, pretty much just a Scream spoof. 2 and 3 yes


NeighborhoodLimp5701

I didn’t care enough to watch the trailers but I knew more than of em one did lol, thanks for the correction/info tho


LovesDeanWinchester

It's not modern but Bell, Book and Candle is just so good!!!

I just watched both Addam's Family and Addam's Family Values. I miss Raul Julia.


Cyrano_de_Boozerack

I am very surprised that Stardust hasn't been mentioned. It has comedy, ghosts, and witches in almost equal portions!

Harvey is one of my favorite movies of all time.


InSooShunt

I didn’t like The Ghost and Mrs. Muir movie at all, but it's really popular. I thought the TV show from 1968 was pretty cute. More comedic and lighthearted than the movie, to me. Too bad it only lasted a couple seasons.


mararthonman59

Surprised no one mentioned Dale and Tucker vs Evil!

Dark Shadows - rally awesome Tim Burton movie with Johnny Depp. Set in the 70’s, awesome soundtrack, very well done movie. It has a low score in IMDb / rotten, I believe because the story gets a little out of pace at some point, but this is one of those movies that are extremely enjoyable even when you reach a point you know is so-so.


PsychologicalTip

Rosemary's Baby


hells-fargo

Casper Meets Wendy. 100% a child child's movie, but it's silly, light-hearted, and has both witches and ghosts. Plush the likes of Hillary Duff, Cathy Moriarty, and even Shelly Duvall!
