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.

October 17, 2025 - This classic '90s movie about a young girl (an adorable Christina Ricci) who befriends the ghost of a 12-year-old boy is so far from scary, we can't even technically call it a horror film. Still, it's a great Halloween watch, particularly for the "afraid of the dark" set.

r/MovieSuggestions on Reddit: Looking for non-scary adult Halloween movies
October 21, 2024 -

I love Halloween but need recommendations for non-scary (or really non gory) Halloween movies that are made for adults. Hocus Pocus is great, just not what I need.

Examples I can think of are cabin in the woods (on the border of too gory), totally killer, etc. any ideas? Campy non-scary is fine too like Queen of the Damned. Thank you!

50+ Not-So-Scary "Scary Movies" For Us Wimps To Watch On Halloween
October 21, 2025 - Luckily, there are actually *tons* of movies to watch leading up to Oct. 31 that aren’t as scary as others. Sure, many are a little campy. Yes, blood-hungry gore fans might even call some of these “childish.” But for horror wimps like me (and maybe you, too?), they’re just the right amount of Halloween-y fun — without giving anyone nightmares.
