Love Halloween but hate being scared? You’re not alone. This holiday, ditch the slasher marathons and opt for a movie night that’s all about comfort, magic, and laughs.
We’ve gathered 10 non-scary movies that are perfect for streaming tonight, whether you’re with kids, friends, or just enjoying a solo, cozy evening.
For a trip down memory lane, Goosebumps (2015) brings R.L. Stine’s “core memory” books to life for millennials and Gen X.
For a beautifully eerie fairy tale, Coraline (2009) is a Tim Burton classic. It’s visually stunning, family-friendly (though dark), and celebrates bravery.
If you want macabre and hilarious, Beetlejuice (1998) is your film. Tim Burton’s surreal world and Michael Keaton’s eccentric ghost are a perfect combo.
A fun, non-spooky pick for a family night in is Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2011).
For a ghost story that will warm your heart, Casper (1995) is a 90s classic about friendship and acceptance.
This one is for the “girly pops”: The Twilight Saga (2008). Edward Cullen provides all the nostalgic vampire romance you need.
For animated fun, Hotel Transylvania (2012) is a great family pick, full of laughs and sweet father-daughter moments.
Get creepy and kooky with The Addams Family (1991). This charming dark comedy is weird, but not terrifying.
No list is complete without Hocus Pocus (1993). Bette Midler and her witchy sisters provide delightful, enchanting chaos.
And finally, Home Alone (1990). Get a jump on Christmas with Kevin McCallister’s hilarious, robber-foiling antics.
