More Spooky Hallmark Movies to Love
If you can’t wait for Haul Out the Halloween to air this fall as part of Hallmark’s “Fall into Love” block, here are five romantic Hallmark films that capture the magic of autumn.
1. The Good Witch
This 2015 classic is a must for Halloween-themed romance lovers. The story follows Poppy (Ashley Williams, 46), a free-spirited nanny hired by workaholic, widowed executive Ryan (Sam Jaeger, 48) to look after his two kids.
As Halloween approaches, Poppy’s love for the holiday—pumpkin carving, costume parties, you name it—warms the hearts of the whole family.
2. Autumn in the Vineyard
Starring Erin Cahill, 45, and Wes Brown, this film centers on Elise (Cahill), who’s renovating the inn she inherited from her grandparents. The CFO of a major hotel chain checks in, but Elise is suspicious—does he really just want to enjoy fall festivities, or is he planning a takeover?
Her assumed enemy could end up being just the Halloween magic she needs to save her beloved family business. Sometimes, you never know who’s going to walk in the door.
3. Sweet Autumn
Nothing screams fall more than a candy apple, right? In Sweet Autumn, Maggie (Nikki DeLoach, 45) is surprised to learn her late aunt has left her only half of the family candy shop.
The other half? It goes to Dex (Andrew Walker, 46), a maple farmer. Maggie’s big city plans for expansion clash with Dex’s small-town love of tradition, and a series of letters from her aunt helps them both discover why they were meant to work together during the Sweet Autumn festival.
4. Love, Fall & Order
This one’s not strictly Halloween-themed, but it’s got plenty of autumn vibes and a bit of spookiness. Real estate agent Anna (Julie Gonzalo, 43) is trying to sell a historic home, but there’s a catch: it’s haunted by 1920s flapper Ruby (Madeleine Arthur, 28).
Ruby refuses to “pass on” until she reunites Anna with her ex-boyfriend Ben (Chris McNally, 36). The chemistry between real-life couple Gonzalo and McNally makes it extra sweet.
5. Haunted Wedding
Here’s a supernatural twist on the classic wedding rom-com. Haunted Wedding stars Janel Parrish, 36, and Dominic Sherwood, 35, as a ghost-hunting couple whose dream wedding plans get complicated when a ghost from the 18th century starts haunting their venue.
The ghost vows to disrupt their big day unless they help her reunite with her own lost love. It’s the perfect witch’s brew of humor, heart, and just enough Halloween magic to keep things interesting.
Conclusion
With Haul Out the Halloween and these five films, Hallmark’s making sure your fall is packed with romance, laughs, and just enough spooky charm.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or just dipping your toes into Hallmark’s world, this lineup looks like it’ll bring all the cozy, heartwarming vibes you’d want this season.
So, maybe grab a pumpkin spice latte, find your softest blanket, and see if you end up falling for Hallmark again. Or, who knows, maybe for the first time?
