Anyone else out there not like the scary/creepy parts to Halloween?? (I love candy, so that’s my number 1 favorite part of the holiday!) I’d much rather watch funny movies or shows that relate to Halloween during October than scary ones. If you are familiar with Disney World, you know they have a special event called ‘Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party’ and you can trick or treat all around Disney World, there are character spots that have some unique villains you can do meet & greets with, and a special, fun Halloween parade called ‘Boo To You.’ It’s so much fun and I highly recommend it to any Disney fan when this pandemic is all over!
My husband and I recently decided we should make a list of Halloween movies and Halloween episodes of some of our favorite shows that we should watch all month long. As I began writing down a list, I decided to mainly focus on a list of Halloween throwbacks that we (I) grew up with. For people my age, that would obviously have to include a long, amazing list of Disney Channel related movies and shows. Then that’s when I created the idea of a list of ‘Not So Scary’ Throwback TV Episodes & Movies to Watch for Halloween! So for all you millenials that got to enjoy your childhood in the 90’s, this list is for you!
