My Favorite Books + Movies for Spooky Season

This post may contain affiliate links. I only recommend products that I’ve tried and love!

It’s officially October! Which means we are officially in peak spooky season.

Now, it has come to my attention that I am not a “true” spooky person, as I refuse to watch any flavor of horror movie or participate in any scary activity. I may or may not be permanently scarred from watching a scary movie at a sleepover in the sixth grade and I just can’t do it.

I like to call my flavor of spooky “cute & happy spooky”. I don’t mind a fun pumpkin or cute ghost, and I love Hocus Pocus and Harry Potter.

So if you’re a “cute & happy spooky” kind of person like me, today’s post is for you. I mentioned last month (I think) that I might share some of my favorite spooky books, but I’m also adding movies and a show as an added bonus.


spooky books.

movies + shows.

  • Coco (I just got Will into it and we both love it, it’s perfect for kids)

  • Haunted Mansion (2023)

  • Clue

  • Hocus Pocus

  • Wednesday

  • Casper

  • Knives Out

  • any Harry Potter movie

Confession: I’ve never seen Beetlejuice, and I’ve been told it’s excellent, so I’ll be making sure to watch this month.

If you have some cute + happy spooky favorites, please drop them in the comments! I’m always looking to add to my list.
