Hallmark Halloween Movies

The highest-rated Halloween film here at 7.8, and it is peak cozy Middleton. The whole town readies a giant Halloween book launch for a famous author, and Cassie (Catherine Bell) gently nudges her toward realizing the made-up town in her novels is really the history of Grey House, all while the mayor frantically remodels Main Street to one-up a rival. There is even a magical midnight reading. If you want one warm, leaf-strewn place to start with Good Witch at Halloween, this is the one. Bailee Madison and James Denton round out the family.

Rated 7.6. As Middleton sets up its Harvest Festival, a stranger named Joseph turns up at Grey House hunting a hidden family fortune, and young Grace gets stuck dealing with classmates who call her a witch. There is a long-buried curse and a twin brother in the mix, so this one leans a little more into mystery than the average Good Witch outing, but it never stops being soft-focus. Hay mazes, a pageant, and that specific autumn glow run all the way through. A sturdy second helping of Middleton.

In a Rhode Island community, neighbors stage Halloween and Christmas celebrations weeks early for a seriously ill young girl and her family. The Halloween gathering is part of the town's effort to give them hope.

A 7.4 Good Witch outing with more actual Halloween flavor than most. Middleton's shop owners compete for the best-decorated storefront while a 150-year-old prophecy turns up in City Hall and the town convinces itself it is cursed. Bat swarms, gargoyles, and a touch of dread give it real October atmosphere, even though you know it will all resolve gently. Cassie and Sam (James Denton) are at the center as always. Comfort food with a faint chill in the air.

Rated 7.4 and stretched to a full two hours. Cassie and Sam plan a Halloween wedding, then the legendary Heart of Middleton ruby goes missing from the museum and a rival town picks a fight over festival supremacy. There is a masquerade gala, the entire ensemble in costume, and that long-running town mythology cranked up as high as it goes. This is Middleton at its most maximalist, so if you want the biggest, most elaborate Good Witch Halloween, here it is. Best saved for when you have the full evening.

Rated 7.4. Cassie's old college roommate Autumn (Sarah Power) shows up in Middleton carrying a 25-year grudge, right as the town throws a giant Halloween bonfire and squares off against rival Blairsville in a triathlon. The film also features an attempt to carve thousands of pumpkins for a record and a running gag about a local lake monster. Cassie's job, of course, is to coax some forgiveness out of her old friend. Breezy, a little ridiculous in the best way, and easy to put on while you carve your own.

Cassie's family comes together for a Halloween-themed birthday party. The costume gathering gives her a chance to bring relatives together and work through the family story.

Poppy arrives as a nanny to Ryan’s children as the family prepares for Halloween. Helping with the holiday brings her closer to the children and their widowed father.

A pumpkin-carving contest gives Nick a chance to show up for Mia's son Scotty. Set just before Halloween, the family event gives this Christmas story an autumn subplot.

Elise agrees to help revive Apple Hill’s Halloween party. The event fills the inn and gives Luke, Elise, and the family a shared project as they repair their relationships.
