What are the first three things that you think of when you think of Halloween?

Pumpkins, costumes, and trick-or-treating! Well, unless you’re a health nut, you can’t do trick-or-treating without candy, right? And, there’s only one movie on Netflix to satisfy your candy fix. That movie is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

As you know, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is based on Roald Dahl’s book of the same name. In the movie, Charlie finds a golden ticket and ventures into Willy Wonka’s crazy candy factory with four other children to meet Willy Wonka, who is played by Johnny Depp, and tour the factory. The film, which is directed by Tim Burton, has a very weird vibe to it that can only be associated with Tim Burton.

Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is weird, kind of creepy, but in a fun way, if that makes any sense. You just have to check it out, if you haven’t already! It’s that wonky!
