I absolutely love Halloween. I love the pumpkins, and the spooky decorations, and the candy. When I was a kid I loved dressing up in the most creative costume I could think of and venturing out into the neighborhood to trick-or-treat with my dad and sister. And as an adult, I love staying in to pass out candy and see all the little kids dressed up in costume (last year at my friend’s house it was “take a shot for every Elsa!”).
My Robin Hood outfit remains my favorite halloween costume of all time.
But, as much as I love Halloween, I absolutely hate horror movies. Which, to be perfectly honest, is mostly because I am pants-wettingly terrified of them. After I was accidentally forced to see the original Saw in theaters (it’s a long story), I watched Disney movies right before bed and slept with my lights on for at least a full week.
So, if you’re like me and refuse to watch horror movies I’ve got you covered. Here are the top ten non-scary movies I put on my list to watch every October!
Hocus Pocus
HOCUS POCUS, Kathy Najimy, Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, 1993
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Practical Magic
The Addams Family
Edward Scissorhands
Young Frankenstein
Halloweentown
