Hubie Halloween
Directed by Steven Brill
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. From TMDB

60 of 107 · most liked firstevery time i see a new recent adam sandler movie i'm incredibly anxious that it will suck, and by the time the credits roll i'm saying things like "adam sandler is the last remaining artist in mainstream american cinema" (this is about Hubie Halloween)
positive · AI labelView post →it's still so funny to me that Sandler said "I put everything into this, if i don't get any oscar noms, i'm going to make the worst movie ever made," got snubbed, and immediately released Hubie Halloween
neutral · AI labelView post →my wife the professor on the film she selected for her students to analyze: "there's a lot of things that make Hubie Halloween pedagogically interesting,"
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a sad and gloomy day, so think I'm gonna stay in bed with all my feels Anyone have some cozy movie recommendations? Think I'm gonna start with Hubie Halloween 🎃 idk what it is but there's just something about this movie that makes me feel good
positive · AI labelView post →So neither me or the wife work tomorrow so putting on another movie. Watching something funny but still Halloween yep it's Hubie Halloween it's good for a few laughs #filmsky #hubiehalloween #halloween
positive · AI labelView post →I’m tired of this lazy “there’s no funny movies anymore” argument. In the last decade alone we were gifted: The Emoji Movie Daddy’s Home 2 Cars 3 Sandy Wexler Angry Birds 2 Impractical Jokers: the Movie A Madea Family Funeral Hubie Halloween The Garfield Movie Like damn show some gratitude.

positive · AI labelView post →One time Adam Sandler was on my tv starring in a movie called Hubie Halloween
neutral · AI labelView post →one of the gags that gets me every time in a movie is in Hubie Halloween when like every woman is Harley Quinn for halloween
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's funny Halloween film. Yep it's Hubie Halloween time. Adams good for a laugh always #filmsky #hubiehalloween #adamsandler #halloween
positive · AI labelView post →Just did my regular Hubie Halloween watch, which I've found myself doing every October since it came out - it's becoming a real fave seasonal comfort movie especially with THE iconic team-up of Squibb and Sandler 🎃
positive · AI labelView post →I didn’t see the entirety of it tonight, but from what I saw so far of “Hubie Halloween”, it seemed like sort of a funny Halloween movie with Adam Sandler. For now, this gets an 8/10 in my opinion. Rating may change if and when I see the film in full. See you tomorrow.
positive · AI labelView post →If you're into the idea of a bad horror movie featuring a woman the writer wanted to portray as "hot and caring" so he made her a foster mom but also clearly has no idea what foster care is, Hubie Halloween is your movie! Also, not the fun kind of bad horror.
negative · AI labelView post →Not sure if this counts as a “tweet” but for me it’s the 2020 film Hubie Halloween
neutral · AI labelView post →Not really a "'Christian' Christmas song" so much as a Halloween Adam Sandler film, but I would say Hubie Halloween.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Hubie Halloween is such a good movie
positive · AI labelView post →We had a plan to have a cozy Halloween movie night last month but unfortunately never got to do it so tonight we are!! Halloween movies we haven’t seen and sushi and Halloween cookies! 🎃🖤 w/ @metalmogwai.bsky.social #NowWatching: Hubie Halloween (2020)
neutral · AI labelView post →Zombie Town (2023) This is an astonishingly bad film. I was trying to work out who this is for. It has a Hubie Halloween feel. By that sugary sweet standard this is so mild it becomes a slow worn out poorly executed tropes. It doesn’t work as a comedy or horror.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Last House is scary but not too much, great for a 10 year old. My daughter loves the Hubie Halloween movies. Coraline is another she loves. There's always Nightmare before Christmas, admittedly not terribly frigtrning. Labyrinth and The Neverending Story might work but they're more fantasy than horror.
neutral · AI labelView post →What’s the one genx movie from YOUR hometown that you wish you could see for the first time on a desert island, and why is it Hubie Halloween? Wrong answers only.
neutral · AI labelView post →They should make a movie about Hubie Halloween.

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s that time of year again where I defend Hubie Halloween as a genuinely great addition to the non-R-rated Halloween movie catalog. Sorry, but it’s true. It’s festive. It’s silly. It’s a good time.

neutral · AI labelView post →HUBIE HALLOWEEN: So stupid, so festive, pretty fun, kind of sweet. It’s become my annual kickoff movie of spooky season.
positive · AI labelView post →Hubie Halloween: Greatest holiday movie of all-time
positive · AI labelView post →look, is this film better than "Hubie Halloween" or isn't it? don't jerk me around.
neutral · AI labelView post →Any film snobbery I had was cured during quarantine. We've seen Fasts and Furiouses. We've seen Hubie Halloween. If you can't enjoy basic, mid entertainment, you are leaving a LOT of fun on the table.
positive · AI labelView post →Yearly rewatch of Hubie Halloween, a movie that I feel like people write off in the same way that Salem wrote off Hubie.
positive · AI labelView post →I unironically think the best mostly family friendly Halloween movie made since 2020 is Hubie Halloween
positive · AI labelView post →In 2020 I sat down to watch a film called Hubie Halloween… (🧵 1/?)
neutral · AI labelView post →I have a very important film question: are Happy Gilmore's custom disguised flasks built by Hubie Halloween?
neutral · AI labelView post →Leftists are allowed ONE movie about Hubie Dubois. And Hubie Halloween COUNTS.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie in the style of Hubie Halloween Adam Sandler as Hubie Comedy Funny movie Steve buscemi cameo Funnier Funnier Funnier Less funny
neutral · AI labelView post →Hubie Halloween Sincerely, start off silly and goofy then (if everyone agrees) ramp up the scary/terror each movie until they individually say “I’m out.” My two kids have about opposite tolerances for terror, never wanted to pressure the less tolerant child. Cause, nightmares!
neutral · AI labelView post →Julie Bowen is 'fine' in this, but I maintain she is solid gold genius in HUBIE HALLOWEEN, which makes it part of the text of the film that for someone to be sexually attracted to an Adam Sandler character, they must be actually insane.
positive · AI labelView post →Without saying Hubie Halloween, favorite Sandler film?
neutral · AI labelView post →#filmsky - 2020 - shout out Promising Young Woman, Nomadland, Soul, Emma, Minari, Hubie Halloween, and Zola. While My Octopus Teacher was technically a better film, Onward is the only one I've rewatched from this dark year.
neutral · AI labelView post →Point taken. I watched Hubie Halloween a few weeks ago: it’s not enjoyable being embarrassed for all concerned when watching a movie. My 9 year old thought it was class: so there’s that, I guess.
neutral · AI labelView post →kids wanted to have a Friday the 13th movie night, but some of them are too young for an actual F13 movie, so I put on Hubie Halloween. it was a big hit - the kids can't get enough Sandler
positive · AI labelView post →My boss' boss set up a one-on-one meeting for me on Friday morning with the only description being, "Not a scary Friday morning meeting"... So of course I'm still assuming that I'm getting fired, but now through the movie Hubie Halloween or something.
neutral · AI labelView post →Starbucks by my work has a white board with a prompt to write your favorite Halloween movie and amid all the Hocus Pocuses and Tim Burtons some little freak wrote The Addiction and Hubie Halloween
neutral · AI labelView post →Honestly a movie that is leagues better than Hubie Halloween
positive · AI labelView post →My 15 year old son and I both need an emotional break from October White Sox baseball. I think a movie night is I order. He’s gonna want to watch “Backrooms” and I’m more in a “Hubie Halloween” mode. Perhaps we’ll split the difference and watch “Aliens”.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now Watching: Hubie Halloween An easily frightened man sets out to keep Salem Massachusetts safe during the Halloween season. Good natured and silly, this is a family friendly movie with a lot of heart.

neutral · AI labelView post →At 11pm EST, Oak and V will be live with another Sand in Unloveable Sandler to discuss Hubie Halloween, an Adam Sandler Netflix film that they vaguely have heard of and are only a month late watching. twitch.tv/wearealexandra
neutral · AI labelView post →Been watching Horror all month. Best Movie: Weapons Best Series: Tie - Midnight Mass & Fall of the House of Usher. Honourable mention - The Midnight Club. Best Rewatch - The Black Phone And before you think I might have good taste in Halloween movies, I'm watching Hubie Halloween tonight. Fun. 🎃
positive · AI labelView post →I can see that. I don't think my wife was making any serious attempt at film criticism. It was just a joke and whatnot. But I find Hubie Halloween to be irresistible, personally. I'll probably watch it three times at least during the season.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a version of Venus that is the coolest movie ever made but sadly that is not the version that exists. Still better than Hubie Halloween
negative · AI labelView post →Hubie Halloween is an honestly horrible movie but a guilty comfort watch for me. K-Pop Demon Hunters though, that one is special. Like a lot of people, I’m a huge fan of it.
neutral · AI labelView post →When I get my random Adam Sandler run-in I can't wait to tell him Hubie Halloween was the most underrated movie he's ever done!
positive · AI labelView post →*Hubie Halloween was Sandler’s attempt at making the worst film in history after UNCUT GEMS was snubbed by all the awards orgs. Hubie Halloween is awful… but there are a few LOL moments.
neutral · AI labelView post →Same. I expected THE RIDICULOUS SIX or the first 10 mins of HUBIE HALLOWEEN that I watched (rumored to be Sandler’s attempt at making the worst movie in history after not getting any awards for his basketball film)…and it was better than those.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hubie Halloween is a Christmas Movie
neutral · AI labelView post →June was amazing in Hubie Halloween. That goofy fun movie has become a Halloween must watch for me.
positive · AI labelView post →Apparently him not being nominated for an Oscar is what drove him to then make a terrible movie (on purpose), which is why we have Hubie Halloween. 👀
