What is Inktober?

It would be impossible to make a list of films to watch during autumn without mentioning a Tim Burton movie. Edward Scissorhands might not be the first to pop into your head but it definitely deserves a watch. This 1990 movie presents Edward, a human-like creation with scissors instead of hands, as he moves into the house of a middle-class family and falls in love with their daughter, Kim. We can only relate to or feel sympathy for him as he tries to adapt to normal life as best as he can. Between fantasy, romance and comedy, this movie will make you cry, laugh or a mix of both. In addition, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder’s acting performances are truly incredible and help create the magic of the film. Whether you’re seduced by the classic Tim Burton aesthetic or the tragic yet beautiful storyline, Edward Scissorhands is a must watch for the Halloween season.

Another classic Halloween movie has to be The Addams Family. In this 1991 movie, we follow the adventures of the eccentric Addams family, which lives in a gloomy manor and presents a very gothic aesthetic. The members of the family include Morticia and Gomez, the loving - and probably involved with occult forces - parents, Wednesday, the cynical and terrifying daughter, Pugsley, her dense brother, their crazy grandma and the Thing, a moving hand which appears to be the family’s pet. The dark humor of the movie is based on the strange way the Addams see life and the comical contrast between them and normal people. With its iconic scenes and dark color palette, this movie is the perfect Halloween comedy. For those who’ve already watched it, I strongly recommend the second one, The Addams Family Values, which is as hilarious as the first.

If you haven’t read the famous Louisa May Alcott novel (or even if you have), Little Women is a must watch. This movie presents the adventures of four sisters in the 1860s after their father left them and their mother to join the war effort. We follow the independent Jo, dreaming of becoming a writer, the young and capricious Amy, looking for love, the responsible Meg, taking care of her family, and the soft and kind Beth, fighting her sickness. We meet other interesting characters like the eccentric Aunt March and the charming Laurie. If you’re interested in love stories, beautiful dresses, the Victorian aesthetic, sisterly love and a touch of feminism, then you need to watch this movie this autumn. If you still aren’t sure, the star studded cast, including Timothée Chalamet, Emma Watson and Meryl Streep, should convince you.
