It’s no secret around here that I love Halloween. And it’s also not a secret that I love scary movies. But sometimes you just want to snuggle up together and watch a Halloween movie that’s not scary. You know? There are plenty of non-scary, family friendly classics out there. As Halloween gets more and more popular I’m sure people will continue to make fantastic films. But today I’m sharing the 5 best ones. At least, in my opinion.

The 5 Best (non-scary) Halloween Movies

ONE || Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus is certainly my all time favorite. It’s so silly but classic. I could probably quote the whole movie if I really thought about it. It’s one of those movies that you just quote, you know? It’s definitely a tradition to watch it every year and I’m super bummed that I haven’t watched it yet this year!

TWO || The Halloweentown Series (Especially the first one)

I loved the original Halloweentown growing up. I was intrigued by a teenage girl who was a witch but didn’t know it. It was one of those things I always wished would happen to me. You know, kinda like how we all waited for our Hogwarts letter to come when we turned eleven. Yeah, I also wanted to be a witch from Halloweentown. The sequels are okay but you’re never going to have the same effect as a girl finding out she’s a witch for the first time.

THREE || The Addams Family Movie

I’ll be honest, I haven’t always loved The Addams Family. I mean, I watched when they would come on TV sometimes and thought the concept was cool. But it wasn’t until I saw The Addams Family Musical a couple years ago on Broadway in Columbus that I really fell in love. Now I love all things Addams and I have to watch the movie around Halloween every year!

FOUR || Nightmare Before Christmas

I love this the Nightmare Before Christmas! A lot of people don’t because they say it ruins both holidays, but I think it’s very clever. I actually only watched it last year for the first time ever. I know. Crazy, right? But I loved it! Of course, I usually love Tim Burton’s work and this is no different. It’s only like an hour and 15 minutes long and it’s on Netflix so you have no excuse not to watch it this week!

FIVE || The Harry Potter Series

And lastly, I’m including The Harry Potter Series in here because, if ABC Family considers it a Halloween Movie, I can too! We just watched the whole series back in June so we probably won’t watch them again this week, but I’m a true Potterhead so I had to include them on this list.

So there you have it. My 5 favorite Halloween movies. Did I miss any? What would you add to my list? Thanks for reading!
