Welcome to the blog on 10 Halloween movies that are not scary at all. In October, the classic question that arises is “Trick or treat?” Most people typically opt for the latter, but there’s also an unspoken third choice: staying cozy indoors away from the Halloween hustle and bustle. Halloween doesn’t have to be all about fright and terror. It can be a time for pumpkin carving contests, enjoyable festivals, charming decorations, and, perhaps most importantly, a chance to indulge in some fantastic movies throughout the season.
While others are eagerly anticipating the emergence of frightening characters like Freddy Krueger or Jason Voorhees to give them a good scare, you have the option to spend your evening watching Halloween movies that aren’t scary at all. Whether it’s contemporary family-friendly Halloween films or older classics that evoke nostalgia, you can make this holiday season one filled with light-hearted fun instead of gruesome horror.
Take a look at these 10 Halloween movies that are not scary at all.

10 Halloween movies that are not scary at all
Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2
Hocus Pocus is a top choice for Halloween viewing, featuring Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy as the unforgettable Sanderson sisters. The nostalgic first film sees them chasing kids and a talking cat, with memorable characters like Billy Butcherson and Binx. The sequel, Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+, delves deeper into their story, with Winifred causing even more chaos this time. Watch Hocus Pocus 2 now.
It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
If you’re short on time and have young children, consider opting for this animated TV special instead of a full-length Halloween movie. “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” features the Peanuts gang on Halloween night, with Linus awaiting the Great Pumpkin’s arrival in a pumpkin patch while the others go about their plans. Despite some teasing, the special’s themes of faith and the humorous antics of the characters make it a non-scary Halloween option. Watch now.
Halloweentown
Disney created the fantasy that, at a certain age, an odd old relative would reveal our magical heritage. But for most, it’s just a dream, except for Marnie Piper in Halloweentown. These four films follow Marnie’s journey as she discovers her witch lineage, facing magical world challenges and lessons along the way, making it a charming Halloween season choice.
Casper Meets Wendy
Compared to the darker 1995 original, “Casper Meets Wendy” offers a more enjoyable and light-hearted experience. Hilary Duff stars as Wendy, a young witch destined for greatness, who befriends Casper and his uncles when they all seek refuge from a pursuing warlock. Their bond grows, but trouble brews when the warlock discovers Wendy’s location.
