Halloween can be haunting, especially on screen. But scary movies, and even non-scary ones, are always better when the hero is easy on the eyes.
Every holiday has its own traditions. At Halloween, there’s the obvious ones: costumes, pumpkin carving, candy and monsters. But there’s also movies. Halloween produces some of the best on-screen entertainment.
From It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown to Halloween, October is one of the best months to just stay at home watching movies every night. And luckily, between Netflix, Freeform’s “13 Nights of Halloween” and plain old trips to the local movie theater, there’s no shortage of viewing options.
With Halloween movies, fans can get a little of everything: scares, laughs and costume ideas. Sure, some of the movie tricks raise your blood pressure a bit, but it’s usually always worth it.
It’s especially worth it when the movie’s leading man is a treat. Perhaps it’s exactly because the movies are scarier around this time of year, but it seems Halloween movies always have some very crush-worthy heroes. Whether it’s a classic flick or a newer film, the trend has never seemed to slow down.
Now, Halloween is on our doorsteps once more, and it’s time to choose your weekend movie lineup. And even if a movie doesn’t revolve around the holiday, it can still be a perfect Halloween film.
For those making their movie choices based on leading men, this list will round up some of the most iconic leads of those films, who induce heart palpitations for reasons outside of fear.
