Here's the challenge: just watched Sleepy Hollow and the Witches of Eastwick. These two movies felt perfectly spooky for the autumn season. Not scary, not horror. What spooky movies can you recommend? For example: Signs - yes. Halloween - no. Bonus that I had never seen either of the first two. You win a thumbs up if I've never seen it and you recommend it and I watch it. Go like the wind.

Yeah I know. My wife can’t handle horror or gore or generally “scary” movies at all. She can watch stuff like Lost Boys and The Shining, but that’s it. I’m trying to watch some atmospheric stuff with her this fall but I’m at a loss. She watched the first 2/3 of House Of The Devil last year, but had to stop once things actually got going. Any recommendations for movies with that vibe?

Looking for a halloween movie that isn’t super scary. For reference, I love stranger things, though that is definitely my limit on anything horrifying.

My partner loves horror movies and we both love halloween so I’m looking for something to meet in the middle.

Any recs??
