The has been an obvious decline in thrilling and over-the-top Halloween movies in recent years, and that has become a major Hollywood problem.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There are so many classic Halloween movies households have on an annual rotation, but none of them are recent releases — and that's a problem. Before the 2010s, Halloween on the silver screen was an exhilarating affair. Movies like Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and The Addams Family offered thrills through a whimsically spooky lens.
Hollywood Has Stopped Making Classic Halloween Movies During the '80s, '90s, and 2000s, Hollywood consistently churned out a series of Halloween movies that combined elements of mystery, humor, and heart. Beetlejuice offered a comedic take on the afterlife with iconic characters and ludicrous scenes. Casper brought audiences a more child-friendly ghost tale that still appealed to adults, interweaving themes of friendship and acceptance amid its antics.

While technology has made leaps and bounds since Hocus Pocus and Beetlejuice debuted, there's an authenticity to these films' older practical effects that's hard to replicate with digital counterparts.
