31+ Happy Halloween Movies – that are NOT Horror Films

 

This is a list of Halloween films for people who don’t care for horror flicks or just want a break from the formulaic slasher movies.  Maybe you have children who get nightmares and just want family fun, or maybe you’re an adult and still hides behind the pillows.  There is one person in my life who still does that, and she knows who she is.  Getting nightmares easily just means you have a great imagination.

The first 31 Halloween movies are ordered from tame to somewhat scary.  There is a second, shorter list for more grown up movies with the same ranking – from tame to “Ew, that woman collects eyeballs, what is her problem?”  I wanted to keep my list at 31, but I didn’t want to leave out other good movies.  There may be a few in the first list that may border on being too mature for children at the parents’ discretion, and some may argue which film is creepier than the other, but these lists are intended to be good Halloween fun.
