Over-50 Queens Halloween Marathon: 7 Nights of Spooky, Stylish, and Soulful Fun

 

Sis, Halloween season isn’t just for the kids or the college crowd — it’s for us too! For the over-50 queens who love a cozy night in, a glass of wine (or mocktail), and a movie marathon that’s more magical than murderous, I’ve got you covered.

This 7-night lineup is perfect for our vibe — a little witchy, a little nostalgic, a little glamorous, and full of heart. Each film builds in mood, from light and whimsical to deeply moody and mysterious. Grab your favorite throw blanket, light that pumpkin clove candle, and let’s make it a Halloween to remember. 🍷🕯️👻
