October Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss13 of 27
Hubie Halloween | Premieres Wednesday, Oct. 7, on Netflix
Plot: Despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem (and its Halloween celebration), Hubie Dubois is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something is going bump in the night, and it's up to Hubie to save Halloween.
Our Take: This Netflix comedy-thriller looks like the perfect not-so-scary movie to get you in the Halloween spirit this year (even though trick-or-treating is sadly canceled.) Adam Sandler plays the bumbling, unexpected hero in the form of Hubie Dubois, a quirky Salem local who takes it upon himself to ensure his neighborhood stays safe during the spooky celebrations. Sure, Sandler's go-to silly accent could tick off those who are tired of his shtick, but it’s easier to look past with all the other treats in store, including lots of spooky Halloween mischief and an all-star cast featuring Kenan Thompson, Maya Rudolph, Ray Liotta, and Steve Buscemi. — Hannah
