Will you help me choose some non-frightening Halloween movies?

Asked by longgone (19767points) October 16th, 2014

I’ll be spending Halloween with my teenage sister. Neither one of us likes frightening movies, but we would like something Halloween-themed. Any ideas?

You could listen to the Redlettermedia Commentary Track for the original Halloween by John Carpenter.

Hocus Pocus
Ghostbusters
It’s The Great Pumpkin, charlie Brown
Scared Shrekless
Monsters And Aliens: Halloween
ET
Casper (The movie)
The Little Girl Who Lived Down The Lane (Just part of it takes place during Halloween, and it is kind of creepy, but not big fright like Chainsaw Massacre)

Hotel Transylvania

Spaced Invaders. There are so many jokes you’ll have to watch it multiple times to find them all. You can get it over the Internet.

Monster House
The Curse of the Were Rabbit (Wallace & Gromit)

Maybe pick a bona fide horror movie, but that is funny? Like Shaun of the Dead or Black Sheep.

Or make it a TV Halloween episode night with:

These two episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer:

Halloween
Fear Itself

And this episode of Community:

Epidemiology
