13 Halloween Movies for Families That Aren’t ‘Hocus Pocus’

‘Hocus Pocus’ is a great Halloween staple, but there so many other (totally underrated) family friendly flicks to watch this spooky season

While most people associate the tough and quick witted (but still always fashionable) Buffy Summers to Sarah Michelle Gellar, the WB series — which lasted for seven seasons from 1996 to 2003 — was actually spawned from the lesser-known 1992 film starring Kristy Swanson. Campy and smart — and costarring Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens and a dreamy Luke Perry — the OG flick is the perfect introduction into the Buffy universe, and one that has become a beloved cult classic despite not doing massive numbers at the box office. Just look at the cast alone: Led by Sandler, Kevin James and Julie Bowen, the supporting ensemble also includes Ray Liotta, June Squibb, Rob Schneider, Kenan Thompson, Shaquille O’Neal, Maya Rudolph and Ben Stiller.
