"There's a lot to love about fall and Halloween. But not all of us enjoy the extra creepy, super scary Halloween movies that dominate October viewing. Sure, we want to partake in the slightly frightening festivities; we just don't want to end up terrified to walk around our neighborhood or our own houses. Come Halloween, a good chunk of us spirited citizens just want to watch a not-so-scary movie while sipping and nibbling on fall-themed snacks and treats."
"Luckily, there are actually *tons* of movies to watch leading up to Oct. 31 that aren't as scary as others. Sure, many are a little campy. Yes, blood-hungry gore fans might even call some of these "childish." But for horror wimps like me (and maybe you, too?), they're just the right amount of Halloween-y fun - without giving anyone nightmares."
Many viewers prefer Halloween viewing that is festive and mildly spooky rather than intensely frightening. A wide selection of films fits that preference, including campy family-friendly titles and slightly eerie romantic or comedic options. Examples include the playful witch antics of Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2, Tim Burton’s moody romantic fantasy Edward Scissorhands, and the darkly comedic Beetlejuice. These films emphasize whimsy, nostalgia, and light scares rather than gore. They pair well with fall-themed snacks and casual gatherings. Such movies provide Halloween atmosphere while minimizing the risk of nightmares or lingering fear.
