Holiday Fright: Top Halloween Movie Franchises

Blue MauMau is getting into the spirit of the evening. As one franchise leader told me, today is "a pagan festival of dead ghosts and ghouls." So in honor of the occasion, here are some of the top six Halloween movie franchises by USA box office sales. Since we are using box office, the movies at the top are very family friendly.

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Hey, Sorcerers mean Halloween, right?)
2. The Mummy Returns
3. Ghostbusters II (Ghosts haunting NYC? Halloween right?)
4. Scream 2
5. Scary Movie 3

Other movie franchises that are worthy of an honorable mention when thinking of Halloween. Think scary.

1. Halloween
2. Friday the 13th
3. Nightmare on Elm Street
4. Saw
5. Hellraiser
