So Halloween is just not your thing, that’s cool. If the idea of dressing up, covering your lawn with Styrofoam tombstones, and handing out handfuls of candy to strangers’ children makes you want to retreat to your basement with a good movie, this list is for you.

These films aren’t scary; they’re just smart, cynical, existential, and just plain fun films to help you turn off the doorbell for a few hours. So don’t be ashamed, be that neighbor. Close the blinds, turn out the porch light, pop some corn and get away this Halloween.

Fight club

I’m breaking the first rule of Fight club here, so I hope you like it. Forget the costumes and rip off the mask of consumerism with this true dark psychological drama that’s as funny as hell. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt give career-defining performances in this David Fincher-directed masterpiece about a man who rebels against his soul-sucking corporate life by starting an underground bare-knuckle fight club to feel alive again. With the mysterious Tyler Durden (Pitt) at his side, the club becomes a secret national movement that spirals out of control. This is a movie you don’t want to miss, folks.

American Psycho

If you must Add a little blood to your anti-Halloween festivities, you might as well make them satirical. While many Halloween costumes feature elaborate masks, prosthetics, and all sorts of props, American Psycho‘s Patrick Bateman (Christian Bale) dons the most gruesome costume of all: that of an investment banker. Behind his tailored designer suits, perfect smile and obsessive grooming regime, Bateman is, as the title suggests, a psychopathic killer driven by vanity and nihilism, who lures colleagues and strangers into his posh Manhattan apartment, dons Huey Lewis and starts swinging axes. Lay down plastic tarps for this 2000 classic.

Idiocracy

Nothing is scarier than reality. And unfortunately, this 2006 dystopian comedy from Mike Judge has become more of a terrifying documentary than a joke. If you haven’t actually seen Idiocracy However, do it while it’s still more funny than accurate. Luke Wilson is perfect as Joe Bauers, an average American cryogenically frozen and forgotten for 500 years. When he randomly emerges, America has become a corporate-run country of idiots obsessed with energy drinks, with a porn star/professional wrestler named Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho (Terry Crews) as president. Joe is literally the smartest man in the world, and with the help of Rita (Maya Rudolph), a prostitute also frozen at the same time, finds himself tasked with saving the country from starvation, despite themselves.

The Big Lebowski

OK, so I know you don’t like Halloween, but-listen to me, if you were to dress up, even for your own poops and giggles, no one would dare blame you for mixing up a White Russian and throwing on a chunky wool cardigan for a screening of The Big Lebowski. Heck, invite a friend to come as Walter (John Goodman). If you haven’t seen it, man, it’s the Coen brothers’ legendary story about Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges), a Los Angeles slacker content with his average life of bowling and hanging out with the nervous Walter and the pushover, Donny (Steve Buscemi). The Dude’s life is completely turned upside down when he is mistaken for another Lebowski, a rich man who owes a lot of money to thugs. It’s hilarious, absurd and full of one-liners that you’ll quote as always.

That’s okay, there’s no judgment here: Halloween isn’t for everyone, and sometimes you just want to cozy up in your living room with a streaming service or three and your own bowl of candy.
