The chill in the air, the flickering glow of Jack-o’-lanterns, and of course, the spine-tingling films that make us clutch our blankets a little tighter.

Here are my top 5 picks, ranked from playful to absolutely chilling. Let’s dive in!

Who can resist the Sanderson sisters? Hocus Pocus is Halloween at its most fun, bringing in just the right amount of witchy mischief.

Plus, a few sprays of our Indu Aromatherapy Spray will help ease your nerves—just in case you hear footsteps behind you.
2. Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge (2001)
A beloved Disney Channel favorite, Halloweentown II combines adventure with light-hearted scares that are ideal for a cozy night in.

How Indu Aromatherapy helps: This movie begs for some self-care moments, and our Indu Lotion is the perfect companion. Its non-greasy formula leaves your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed, so you can enjoy every magical moment without worrying about dry, cracked skin (witches can’t be dealing with that kind of thing). Pair it with our Aromatherapy Candle to set the vibe, ensuring your space feels just as warm and comforting as Grandma Aggie’s house.
1. Trick 'r Treat (2007)
If you haven’t seen Trick 'r Treat yet, you’re missing out on one of the best anthology horror films of all time. This movie weaves together five terrifying tales that explore the dark side of Halloween traditions, all overseen by the eerie, pumpkin-headed figure Sam.
