Looking for a Halloween movie that isn't scary

Spooky season without actual horror. Kids can watch most of these; adults will too.
  1. Hocus Pocus 1993
    Three witches, Salem, Bette Midler singing.
  2. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown 1966
    Twenty-five minutes. Required.
  3. Beetlejuice 1988
    The ghost-with-the-most. Striped suit.
  4. The Addams Family 1991
    Anjelica Huston as Morticia. Iconic.
  5. Practical Magic 1998
    Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as witch sisters.
  6. Coraline 2009
    Stop-motion. Mildly creepy. Watch with the lights on.
  7. Corpse Bride 2005
    Tim Burton, Victorian-goth, surprisingly tender.
  8. ParaNorman 2012
    Underseen. About loneliness more than ghosts.
  9. The Witches 1990
    The Roald Dahl one. Kids hate it appropriately.
  10. Ghostbusters 1984
    Still the one. Ray Parker Jr. theme included.
