   Good Witch: Secrets of Grey House

   2016 · 84 min★ 7.8

   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.

   Good Witch Halloween

   2015 · 82 min★ 7.6

   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.

   November Christmas

   2010 · 96 min★ 7.5

   Rated 7.5, and the odd one out tonally. This is the film where the town of Sullivan moves the holidays up for a gravely ill little girl, which means a full Halloween party staged in the heat of August. Sam Elliott and John Corbett anchor a cast that takes it seriously. The Halloween here is a single beat in a genuinely moving story about a community closing ranks around one family. Not spooky in the slightest, and the most likely film on this list to make you cry. Keep tissues within reach.

   Good Witch Spellbound

   2017 · 94 min★ 7.4

   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.

   Good Witch: Tale of Two Hearts

   2018 · 120 min★ 7.4

   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.

   Curse from a Rose

   2019★ 7.4

   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.

7. 7
   

   Jingle & Bell's Christmas Star

   2012 · 30 min★ 7.2

   Rated 7.2 and a genuine outlier at just 30 minutes long. This is a short, animated-feeling kids' piece in which husky pup Jingle and his pal help a girl named Sofia and her own husky, Bell, settle into a new town. The Halloween connection is loose at best, so set expectations accordingly. But if you have a small child and want something sweet, brief, and full of friendly dogs while the older crowd watches the scary stuff elsewhere, this does the job. Gentle and uncomplicated.

8. 8
   

   The Good Witch

   2008 · 89 min★ 7.1

   Rated 7.1 with more than 5,000 votes, which makes it the most-rated film here, and it is the one that started everything. A mysterious woman, Cassie Nightingale, moves into the supposedly haunted Grey House and slowly wins over a town that is sure she is trouble, while quietly helping the children of Police Chief Jake (Chris Potter). The haunted-mansion-and-suspicious-newcomer setup gives it more October mood than any later entry. This is the original, and if you have never met Middleton, start here. Everything else makes more sense once you have.

9. 9
   

   The Color of Rain

   2014 · 87 min★ 7.1

   Rated 7.1 with nearly 1,900 votes, and one of the heavier dramas on the list. Lacey Chabert and Warren Christie play two parents who lose their spouses within weeks of each other and slowly build a single blended family out of the wreckage. Halloween is just one marker in a year of hard, honest healing, so do not come for spooky season. Come for a tender, faith-tinged story about grief and starting over. It is sincere, occasionally bittersweet, and earns its emotion rather than manufacturing it.

    Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder

    2022 · 84 min★ 7.1

    An Aurora Teagarden mystery rated 7.1 with over 1,100 votes. Candace Cameron Bure's amateur sleuth reopens an old case in a house the locals swear is haunted, the same place she and her friend Sally stumbled onto a body as teenagers. It is a cozy whodunit with an October chill and a ghost-story framing, and Niall Matter and Marilu Henner are along for it. No real frights, no gore, just a puzzle to chew on with the lights low. A good fit if you like a little detective work folded into your Halloween.

    The Good Witch's Destiny

    2013 · 82 min★ 6.9

    Rated 6.9 with nearly 1,800 votes. As Cassie celebrates a birthday and gathers the family, a freak October heatwave and a string of misfortunes hit Middleton, echoing the legend of a Grey Lady who vanished long ago. Her stepdaughter Lori digs into the family history while a returning relative blames Cassie's magic for his own bad luck. This is earlier-era Good Witch, a little rougher around the edges, with a gentle supernatural mystery and plenty of town legend. Cozy, faintly eerie, and warm underneath.

    October Kiss

    2015 · 84 min★ 6.5

    Rated 6.5 with nearly 3,500 votes. Free-spirited Poppy (Ashley Williams) takes a nanny job for a workaholic widower's two kids as Halloween closes in, and ends up dragging the family back toward enjoying the season. The trick-or-treating, the costumes, the educational baking, it is all genuinely Halloween-flavored rather than just autumn-adjacent. Sam Jaeger plays the reluctant dad. It is sweet and a touch goofy, with a costume gag at the finale I will not spoil. A reliable cozy date-night pick for October.

    Love, Fall & Order

    2019 · 84 min★ 6.5

    Rated 6.5 with nearly 1,500 votes. Corporate lawyer Claire (Erin Cahill) heads back to the family pumpkin farm to save her dad's annual Fall Fest, then finds herself sparring in court with an old rival (Trevor Donovan). Pumpkin patch, fall foliage, a farm dog, and an enemies-to-lovers spark: this is harvest-season Hallmark more than spooky-season Hallmark, and that is exactly its lane. If you like your Halloween leafy and warm rather than haunted, with a courtroom subplot for flavor, it slots in nicely.

    Hats Off to Christmas!

    2013 · 85 min★ 5.9

    Rated 5.9 with over 2,000 votes. Mia (Haylie Duff) manages a Christmas hat shop that somehow sells festive headwear year-round, gets passed over when the owner brings in his consultant son to fix the business, and the two clash before they click. Halloween is barely a footnote here; the film really runs autumn straight into Christmas. So it is more a calendar technicality on this list than a spooky pick. Still, the small-town-heart-versus-corporate angle has its charm if you are in the mood for a lower-key watch.

    Oliver's Ghost

    2011 · 82 min★ 5.9

    Rated 5.9. A young boy realizes his new house comes with a ghost and sets out to figure out the spirit's unfinished story. Of everything on this list, this leans hardest into an actual (and very friendly) ghost, which is exactly why it earns its Halloween slot. Martin Mull and Rhea Perlman turn up in support. It is aimed squarely at families and is more gentle puzzle than scare. The rating is on the low side, but if you specifically want a literal Hallmark ghost story, this is your candidate.

    Falling in Love with the Girl Next Door

    2006 · 84 min★ 5.8

    Rated 5.8. Two neighbors fall for each other while their mothers stay locked in a 25-year feud that, gloriously, began over rival Halloween barbecues. That backstory is the seasonal hook; the movie itself is really a meddling-families rom-com with a wedding to wreck and rebuild. The cast is the draw, with Patty Duke, Patrick Duffy, and Shelley Long all chewing scenery. It is a lower-rated, amiable watch best enjoyed for the older stars going broad. Put it on if you love the warring-in-laws formula and do not need much spookiness.

    Autumn at Apple Hill

    2024 · 84 min

    A 2024 release that has not gathered an IMDb rating yet. Newly divorced Elise (Erin Cahill) starts renovating the inn she inherited from her grandparents, just as Luke (Wes Brown), a CFO from a hotel chain that may be circling the property, turns up in town. The two clash, then team up on a Halloween event that could save the inn. It is a warm, leafy save-the-business romance with a New England feel and apple-picking coziness baked in. No ghosts, no scares, just autumn and a happy ending taking shape.
