Sometimes you just want to watch a Halloween movie and NOT have a heart attack.
If this is you watching scary movies...
...then you could probably use some movie suggestions for Halloween that AREN'T super scary. We got your back.
Dreamworks
Hocus Pocus (1993)
Hocus Pocus is most definitely a movie for kids, but the nostalgia factor for those who grew up watching it makes it a Halloween necessity. For other adults, the delight of watching Bette Midler, Kathy Najimi and Sarah Jessica Parker play the Sanderson sisters makes for good October entertainment.

Disney
The Addams Family (1991)
The perfectly cast movie adaptation of the classic TV show makes for great family-friendly viewing around Halloween, especially since there are enough jokes in here to keep the grown-ups entertained. You could watch Addams Family Values too, but that's best saved for Thanksgiving.

Paramount Pictures
Beetlejuice (1988)
Scary only in the most cartoonish, Tim-Burton-ish sort of ways, Beetlejuice sets the perfect tone for Halloween without specifically being a Halloween movie. Also, Michael Keaton is a national treasure.
