10 Best Non-Horror Films To Watch This Halloween 2020
5. Hocus Pocus
Similar to the Rocky Horror Picture Show this film has a cult-classic status that drives many people to bring it out during Halloween times. It is widely regarded as a fun film that encompasses the ideas and vibes of the holiday. Although Halloween is a time for the dark and macabre, it delves more into the goofy side of horror than the serious.
The story depicts the antics of a curious youngster who accidentally awakens three witches who were executed in the 17th century. The concept of Salem and witches is one that has some awful historical implications, so for a project to take an entirely different direction from the dark and horrifying truth of this scenario allows for it to explore the concept in a far more family-friendly way.
This approach to comedy and fantasy gives the title an overwhelmingly light-hearted feel to it. The colourful nature of the witches is undoubtedly something that helps with this, and their fun, charismatic performances are entirely appropriate to the circumstances.
It is a great Halloween film for people of all ages.
