Halloween is tomorrow, and the final October Top Ten Tuesday of the year takes a look at the best Halloween movies of all-time. This list tries to stick with the Halloween setting or theme, so some horror classics like The Shining are not included. And like last week’s standalone Halloween television episodes, I went with quotes to prepare people to watch some spooky classics.
