    15. What We Do in the Shadows

    Madman Entertainment / Paramount Pictures

    "It’s so funny! I hadn’t bought an actual DVD in years before I purchased this because I could barely stand to return it to Redbox. A mockumentary about vampires trying to make it in the modern world. Doesn’t take itself seriously at all, and that’s what’s so perfect about it."

    —martinac42ff82650

    16. The Scary Godmother

    Mainframe Entertainment

    "Scary Godmother and Scary Godmother: The Revenge Of Jimmy!!! The CGI is very early 2000s, but they're both under an hour and more ~spooky~ than scary."

    —sentienthouseplant

    17. Halloweentown

    Disney Channel

    "This was my FAVOURITE movie as a kid, and is still one of my top ten Halloween movies. You still get the creatures and one bad guy (who some might find scary but if my 10-year-old self could watch it, you can too) all centred around the glorious holiday that is Halloween."

    —jessicalynn1025

    18. Twitches

    —mrsandman29

    20. Young Frankenstein

    20th Century Fox

    "It starts Gene Wilder aka Willy Wonka and it pokes fun at classic horror films without taking itself too seriously. It's freaking hilarious."

    —jordans43125d2f3

    21. Clue

    Paramount Pictures

    "It's kind of outdated in a lot of ways but the humour really makes the movie and Tim Curry is the ultimate scene-stealer."

    —erica2231

    22. Tucker and Dale vs Evil

    Magnet Releasing

    "There is some almost slapstick-level blood, but overall not a scary horror movie. And it is HILARIOUS. "

    —emilyh47097654e

    23. The Frighteners

    Universal Pictures

    "It's a comedy thriller starring Michael J Fox. There's ghosts and murder but it's not at all scary."

    —harrisk05

    24. The Witches

    Warner Bros.

    Pretty silly acting now that I’m older, but still a classic."

    —ashleya4cdc27c17

    25. ParaNorman

    Focus Features
