You will love these thrillers, slashers, comedies, and animation Halloween films which you can stream on Prime Video, Netflix, Disney, or Hulu!
I do want to note, the no-so-scary halloween movie list does not mean they are all are for kids!

The not-so-scary Halloween movie list is exactly that: not-so-scary.
