10 great movies to watch for halloween (that aren't too gory/scary)

1. Rear Window (1954) (dir. Alfred Hitchcock)

Plot: Bored while confined to a wheelchair after breaking his leg, Jimmy Stewart begins secretly watching his neighbors and becomes convinced one of them has committed a murder.

Vibe: Suspenseful, cool disability rep

2. Scream (1996) (dir. Wes Craven)

Plot: A mysterious masked murderer ("Ghostface") torments a group of teenagers.

Vibe: Fun slasher comedy

3. Fear Street Trilogy (2021)

Plot: After a series of brutal slayings, a teen and her friends take on an evil force that's plagued their notorious town for centuries.

Vibe: Kind of gory but in a fun slasher way. Solid comprehensive story, fun to watch on back-to-back days

4. Halloween (1978) (dir. John Carpenter)

Plot: A masked murderer (Michael Myers) escapes from a mental hospital and targets a group of teenagers from his home town.

Vibe: Suspenseful slasher that will have you yelling at the screen

5. The Thing (1982) (dir. John Carpenter)

Plot: A group of researchers in Antarctica encounter a shape-shifting alien, making everyone paranoid as they struggle to determine who among them is still human.

Vibe: Suspenseful thriller

6. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) (dir. Don Siegel)

Plot: A small-town doctor discovers that alien pod-like creatures are replacing humans with emotionless duplicates, leading him to fight against the growing invasion while trying to save his loved ones.

Vibe: Feels like an extended episode of The Twilight Zone. Probably a 1950s allegory for communism

7. Alien (1979) (dir. Ridley Scott)

Plot: The crew of the spaceship Nostromo encounters a deadly alien after responding to a distress signal on a remote planet, leading to a terrifying battle for survival as the creature hunts them down one by one.

Vibe: Lots of fun jump scares and Sigourney Weaver slays

8. The Night of the Hunter (1955) (dir. Charles Laughton)

Plot: A sinister preacher pursues two young children who know the location of some buried money.

Vibe: Robert Mitchum is really good at being creepy and you have a sense of foreboding throughout

9. Death Becomes Her (1992) (dir. Robert Zemeckis)

Plot: Two rival women (Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn) drink a mysterious potion that grants them eternal youth. This leads to darkly comedic consequences as they navigate their obsession with beauty and immortality while battling each other.

Vibe: Dark comedy, very silly

10. Shaun of the Dead (2004) (dir. Edgar Wright)

Plot: A disheartened salesman (Simon Pegg) attempts to win back his girlfriend amidst a zombie apocalypse, enlisting the help of his friends as they navigate the chaos with a mix of humor and horror.

Vibe: A lot of violence against zombies but mostly just funny
