Back when the pandemic made celebrating St. Patricks Day off-limits, we had little reason to believe Halloween would suffer the same fate. And then two weeks of shutdown became two months became who knows. And now its mid-October, and Halloween is just the latest in a long series of days weve had to sacrifice.

Given this doom and gloom, you might be looking for small ways you can still celebrate the holiday. I now have a bowl of pumpkin-shaped candy corn sitting on my table and plans to make a spooky gingerbread house over the weekend. While constructing that confection and designing gingerbread ghosts, Id like to have a Halloween movie playing in the background.

Searching on Netflix for Halloween movies brings up a lot of kids fare such as something called Spookley the Square Pumpkin. But the service does have a few options for older ages, like the new Hubie Halloween or 1991s The Addams Family.
