What are some good Halloween movies that are not scary? Movies that are occurring around/on Halloween. Something like Hubie Halloween, but not dumb. Halloweentown, but not Disney Channel/cheesy.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The most obvious has to be Beetlejuice.

Realize that you want “Halloween-related” movies.

Addams Family movies

Hocus Pocus (yea it's disney but its a great halloween movie)

Sleepy Hollow (could probably throw in most Tim Burton movies too lol)

Trick 'r Treat (it has horror elements but I wouldn't call it overly scary. I wouldn't say it is approrpriate for a kid, but for an adult it is fine and it has great Halloween vibes throughout)

Little Shop of Horrors

Karate Kid

Although, one could easily argue it’s a horror flick and Daniel Larusso is the evil entity terrorizing the local teens.

If you're aiming for a fall movie and not Halloween specific, we watch Dan in Real Life every time that the temperatures get below 85.
