Our Netflix Picks for Family Fright Night
Hubie Halloween (12)
Hubie Dubois (Adam Sandler) thanklessly spends every Halloween making sure the residents of his hometown, Salem, celebrate safely and play by the rules. But this year, an escaped criminal and a mysterious new neighbour have Hubie on high alert. When people start disappearing, it’s up to Hubie to convince the police and townsfolk that the monsters are real — and that only he can stop them.
Hubie Halloween is a hilarious family film about an unlikely hero, with an all-star cast including Julie Bowen, Ray Liotta, Noah Schnapp, Steve Buscemi, Maya Rudolph and Kevin James.
The Worst Witch (PG)
After stumbling into a school for witches, a bumbling heroine comes to realise that she just might belong there! Based on Jill Murphy’s beloved books, this gentle, funny series is a lovely pick for younger kids who love a bit of magic without any real scares.
More Ideas for Fright Night
Every family’s Halloween movie night looks a little different — some love a laugh-out-loud comedy like Hubie Halloween, while others prefer something gentler and more magical, like The Worst Witch. Whichever you choose, a few sweet treats, comfy blankets and dimmed lights will set the mood perfectly.
