Hubie Halloween
Hubie Dubois, despite his devotion to his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts (and its legendary Halloween celebration), is a figure of mockery for kids and adults alike. But this year, something really is going bump in the night, and it’s up to Hubie to save Halloween.
Why it matters
A goofy, good-natured Halloween comedy that leans into Adam Sandler’s signature brand of broad, sometimes juvenile humor amid a lighthearted spooky backdrop.
- Mashes up small-town Halloween charm with slapstick and absurdist gags — think “Grown Ups” meets mild seasonal scares.
- Not for horror purists, but fans of holiday-themed comedies and Sandler’s Happy Madison output will find familiar comfort.
- Lacks genuine suspense or scares, trading chills for pee jokes and over-the-top silliness that can grate or delight depending on your threshold.
- A rare Halloween-set studio comedy in an era dominated by indie horror — serves as a palate cleanser if you need a break from grim or “elevated” horror fare.
