If you’re anything like me and love Spooky Season but can’t watch a scary movie without crying, you find another way to enjoy this lovely time of the year with some chill blood suckers and no axe murderers.

Here is a list of my favorite Spooky SZN watches, for both the little and big screen.

From left to right starting at the top:

• Van Helsing (2004)
• Underworld (2003) & Underworld: Evolution (2006)
• Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
• Hellboy (2004)
• The Addams Family (1991) and Addams Family Values (1993)
• Wednesday (2022)
• The Batman (2022)
• Practical Magic (1998)
• Hocus Pocus (1993)
• Halloweentown 1 (1998) & Halloweentown 2 (2001)
• Wendell & Wild (2002)
• Coraline (2009)

I’m no fan of horror and barely got through It (2017) without crying so this list is just a few off the top of my head that I thoroughly enjoy for this time of the year.

I genuinely don’t understand how some people can watch movies like the Saw franchise of Children of the Corn and have a regular day afterwards. They literally make my skin crawl. But, there are a few I have been miraculously able to stomach.

Here are a few honorable mentions that I only watched once and don’t ever need to watch again:

• Insidious (2010)
• The Crazies (2010)
• Malignant (2021)
• I Am Legend (2007)

and pretty much anything that has to do with zombies. I’m absolutely terrified.

And once everything isn’t scary anymore, I watch these feel good movies for Dia De Los Muertos:

Book of Life (2014) & Coco (2017).

Let me know what you think of these titles and happy haunting!
