Love this list! Hocus Pocus and Coraline are total classics, watched them both on Netflix and they never get old! I’d add The Addams Family (1991) to Feel Good Spooky, such a fun vibe, PG-13, no major triggers. Also, for Sci-Fi, The Matrix on Fboxz is a must if you haven’t rewatched it lately. Mind-blowing every time! Keep the recs coming, this is awesome!
