Looking for a Halloween movie that isn't scary
Spooky season without actual horror. Kids can watch most of these; adults will too.
- Hocus Pocus 1993Three witches, Salem, Bette Midler singing.
- It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown 1966Twenty-five minutes. Required.
- Beetlejuice 1988The ghost-with-the-most. Striped suit.
- The Addams Family 1991Anjelica Huston as Morticia. Iconic.
- Practical Magic 1998Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as witch sisters.
- Coraline 2009Stop-motion. Mildly creepy. Watch with the lights on.
- Corpse Bride 2005Tim Burton, Victorian-goth, surprisingly tender.
- ParaNorman 2012Underseen. About loneliness more than ghosts.
- The Witches 1990The Roald Dahl one. Kids hate it appropriately.
- Ghostbusters 1984Still the one. Ray Parker Jr. theme included.
