A Spooktacular Halloween!

Halloween (short) movies

One of my favourite sources - because of its reliablility and accuracy - has always been www.history.com and here you will find plenty of videos on this festivity. The one below is one of those videos, namely describing the real story behind the tricks and treat of Halloween.

 The next video has the same goal and is even shorter (about one minute length)   A cute song for children, but also full of clear vocab and pics connected to Halloween:

 

Two fantastic videos are "The Night Before Halloween" by Tim Burton though one of them is re-cut with Marilyn Manson's version of "This is Halloween".


The longest one here is definitely this but worth watching also because it's based on the book I've recommended before "Room on the Broom".

Hope you enjoy my choice of halloween videos! 

Happy Halloween!!!
