But the Halloween vibes are impeccable, not only in the grisly story but in the extremely famous German expressionist production design, which inspired the looks of many of the other films you\u2019ll find on this list. You could project it silently on the wall of your Halloween party to set the mood, but you might find yourself drawn in to watch the whole thing\u2014there\u2019s a reason its influence is still being felt today. <em>\u2014K.R.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The 14 Best NonScary Halloween Movies\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.vanityfair.com\/photos\/651c478e5445e53ecddd2ef6\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/non-scary-halloween-movies-Casper.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"paywall\"><em><strong>Casper<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"paywall\">\n<li><strong>Release Year:<\/strong> 1995<\/li>\n<li><strong>Director:<\/strong> Brad Silberling<\/li>\n<li><strong>Noteworthy Cast:<\/strong> Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci, Malachi Pearson, Devon Sawa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2023\/10\/non-scary-halloween-movies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For some people, the month of October would not be complete without gory horror classics.
