Like pumpkins more than Pennywise? Here are 15 Halloween movies for you

You love the spirit of Halloween but watching movies that may haunt you isn’t your thing. Here are 15 movies to watch if you prefer sweet dreams instead of nightmares.

My boss hates Halloween and every year, she struggles to find movies to watch that are in keeping with the spirit of the season but won’t give her nightmares. I’m honestly tired telling her to watch the same movies every year, so I’m putting it in a list for easy reference. (Bosses like that, right?) Yes, Megan, this list is for you. In fact, this list is for the Megans in everyone’s life – who recoil at the sight of overpriced bags of candy, who shudder when the TV guide shows a seemingly endless marathon of every “Halloween” movie ever made and who would rather step on a tack than inside a costume store. You can call them Halloween haters. You can call them horror averse. You can call them hollow of fun. But they need movies, too! (Some of these films were produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, which like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.) So, here we go: “Hubie Halloween” A silly Adam Sandler classic about a neighborhood outcast who faces his fears to save his hometown. TLDR: It’s so weird, it’s good. “Hocus Pocus” The original film is an annual must-watch if you appreciate nostalgia and seeing Sarah Jessica Parker outside of New York City, and check out the 2022 sequel for an extra special treat.
