10 Halloween Movies for People Who Hate Scary Movies

It’s easy to find Halloween movies. A cursory Google-search yields a slew of time-honored terror, vetted by thousands of critics and fans. But for those weak-stomached folks who avoid horror flicks at all costs, this bounty of murder porn, slasher flicks, and Romero rip-offs are highway to bad dream city.

There are, of course, plenty of happy Halloween movies that are safe for the squeamish. They just take a bit more effort than a Google search to uncover.

How scary is too scary? ‘Idle Hands’ counts as too scary.

Where is ‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’? I’ve limited this list to *mostly* overlooked films, plus some recently appreciated new-classics.

What, no ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’? Not today; let’s wait for Christmas.

What’s important is you get the thrill of the scariest, goriest holiday without much gore and very few scares!
