There's an infinite pool of good Halloween movies to pull from.

And yet every Christmas I'm actually surprised how few good Christmas movies there actually are. They also have stopped making good ones since Elf imho

Lies. Arthur Christmas and Klaus are wonderful Christmas movies that should be enjoyed be all every year.

If you do a 31 Halloween movies marathon, you run into the problem of leaving out classics. Robert Englund and Vincent Price never appeared this month. Brad Dourif only appeared as a cameo as the Exterminator in The Graveyard Shift.

If you tried to do a 31 Days of Christmas marathon, it would be difficult to find enough films to make it work. Maybe if you watched six adaptations of A Christmas Carol.

Klaus came out after Elf, so this is wrong.

I like the actual Holiday and decorations (and weather) of Halloween better but movie wise I prefer Christmas more.

As for classic Christmas movies I grew up on A Christmas Story and always end up watching it on TBS or TNT on the 24 hour marathon. And then because I have filthy humor I always watch Bad Santa because Billy Bob Thornton is fucking hilarious in that and then if I have time Ill squeeze in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. One from my early teenage years I liked.

In terms of holidays, Halloween is better then Christmas. But that's just my personal opinion.

Literally any horror movie ever made counts as a Halloween movie. Thats why the choices are endless.

I think Halloween movies make up a much larger catalog, but the best Christmas movies are superior to the best Halloween movies, IMO of course.

Any scary or spooky movie is good for Halloween.

Christmas has some conventional films, that one action film for some reason, some creepy films like Krampus and Black Christmas, and a bunch of crappy hallmark films.

Here's some Halloween-centric films I can think of:

Trick r Treat
Ernest Scared Stupid
Monster House
Night of the Demons series
Halloween series
All Hallows Eve
Tales of Halloween
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Mad Monster Party
Scary God Mother
It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!
Pumpkinhead

Then of course you've got stuff like Creepshow, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Goosebumps, and Tales From the Crypt Keeper.

I dislike the horror genre so the only Halloween programs I enjoy are stuff like It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. I like wholesome Halloween stuff and most stuff tends to lean into the horror/scary aspect I dont care for.

Meanwhile there are a lot of Christmas movies I like.

Yes, winter movies do count.

But that still doesn't help Christmas' case.
