The best family-friendly Halloween movies to watch with the kids

Apparently today is an HR nightmare. According to [NationalToday.com]( my go-to site for newsletter introduction fodder, today is National Slap Your Annoying Coworker Day. This sounds problematic to me, but because I work from home, the only one it might be a problem for is my cat. You better not whine about not having food in your bowl, Muffins! Here’s what to watch this week. -Tim   Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!   TODAY AT 8 PM ET/5PM PT ON FS1 [Game 7(s)!!!]( It took a few rounds, but the MLB playoffs finally got good in the two league championship series, with at least one baseball battle going the distance. The all-Texas hoedown between the cheatin’ Houston Astros and the [Creed-lovin’ Texas Rangers]( (not sure which one is worse) reaches the pinnacle of competition — the vaunted do-or-die, winner-take-all, loser-is-a-big-loser Game 7 — tonight. And if the Arizona Diamondbacks can pull off an upset in Philadelphia in Game 6 (today at 5pm ET/2pm PT on TBS), we’ll get a second Game 7 tomorrow. SEASON 2 PREMIERES FRIDAY ON HULU [Shoresy checks your emotions into the boards]( [Shoresy creator, star, and bona fide TV genius Jared Keeso took the formula he crafted that made Letterkenny so popular and applied it to a serialized comedy about a bunch of hockey doofuses in northern Canada that shows the true love of sport and team camaraderie better than any sports comedy before it (looking right through you, Ted Lasso). There aren't many shows that can start with gags about taking a crap in a lake (an “aquadump,” in the show's parlance) and then leave you bawling as an epic season on the rink comes to a close. All of Shoresy's juvenile humor wouldn't mean much without what truly scores for Shoresy: the unfettered appreciation of emotion, whether it be the anticipation of the drop of the puck, the adrenaline of an on-ice brawl, or the swell of a town rallying around a squad of toothless goons.]( SERIES PREMIERE SUNDAY AT 9/8C ON SHOWTIME, FRIDAY ON PARAMOUNT+ WITH SHOWTIME [Fellow Travelers brings a bestseller to the small screen]( An intense, decades-spanning romance anchors Fellow Travelers. Hawkins Fuller (Matt Bomer) is a slick charmer who advances his career in politics by keeping his private life locked up tight; Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey) is the eager young idealist who gets under his skin, just as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn kick off their Lavender Scare crusade against "subversives and sexual deviants" in the government. Created by Oscar nominee Ron Nyswaner (Philadelphia) and based on Thomas Mallon's novel of the same name, the historical limited series stretches from the height of 1950s McCarthyism to the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, chronicling a period of American history that is both unique and threatening to repeat itself. [In his review]( Matt Jacobs says the series “finds an elegant, fitfully stirring lens on this defining segment of 20th century America.” -Kelly Connolly MORE TREATS THAN TRICKS [Have a not-so-spooky Halloween with the family]( Five Nights at Freddy’s, a film adaptation of the video game series that’s popular among pre-tweens, comes out on Peacock this Friday, and while I have reservations about its appropriateness for that age group — it looks scary! — I am more confident about the films on [our list of the best family-friendly Halloween movies to watch this year](. If you’re looking for more, I recommend Disney+’s new series Goosebumps for the 8-and-older crowd; my 9-year-old daughter loves it. It’s like Supernatural for kids, and Justin Long is continuing his streak of picking roles that let him gleefully go nuts.
