Your Halloween Comfort Watchlist: 10 Non-Scary Movie Ideas

Not everyone loves jump scares and haunted houses on Halloween, and that’s perfectly fine. This Halloween, if you want to skip the slasher marathons and opt for something lighter, warmer, and just a little bit magical, you are in the right place.
Whether you’re watching with kids, friends, or solo under a blanket, here are 10 non-scary Halloween movies to stream tonight.
Home Alone (1990): Why not bring a little bit of Christmas right before the holiday season? It’s not scary, yet Kevin McCallister dealing with a bunch of robbers keeps you on your toes and leaves you in peals of laughter.
Hocus Pocus (1993): A Halloween classic that never goes out of style. It follows three resurrected witches causing delightful chaos in Salem. Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker make mischief look enchanting.
The Addams Family (1991): It is a good year to watch this on Halloween night. With season 2 of Wednesday leaving us a little disappointed, it is the perfect time to get back to the roots. Creepy, kooky, and completely charming, this dark comedy is perfect.
Hotel Transylvania (2012): A little bit of vampire magic hurts no one. Dracula’s resort for monsters is full of laughs, silly romance, and surprisingly touching father-daughter moments. A great pick for family movie night.
The Twilight Saga (2008): This is especially for the girly pops. Whether you are home alone or cozying in with your partner, Edward Cullen and his tribe will make you nostalgic and in the mood for Halloween night.
Casper (1995): This heartwarming ghost tale is about friendship, grief, and acceptance. Casper proves that sometimes, the friendliest ghost is the one who’ll make you cry a little.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011): Sure, it is not the perfect scary-non-scary pick, but for teens and tweens, Rodrick Heffely is the way to go. It is a good movie for a family watch if it is a little bit too cold outside.
Beetlejuice (1998): Tim Burton never goes wrong with creating a dark world. Michael Keaton’s eccentric ghost performance and Tim Burton’s surreal world make this film equal parts macabre and hilarious.
Coraline (2009): Another Tim Burton classic for the kids. Though darker in tone, Coraline remains family-friendly and visually stunning. It’s an eerie fairy tale that celebrates bravery and individuality.
Goosebumps (2015): Last but not least, inspired by R.L. Stine’s series, this movie is a reminder of teenage years for millennials and Gen X. R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps have been a core memory, or a canon event, in every teenager’s life.
