r/movies on Reddit: Spooky, not horror, movies
September 27, 2023 -

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.
