Here at Coffee Mom headquarters, we love a good family movie night. Sitting down with the family to watch a movie and eat popcorn always culminates in great memories for us. Now that Halloween is almost upon us, we decided to do a family-friendly spooky movie marathon, and no Halloween movie night is complete without some spooky Halloween popcorn.

Spooky Halloween Popcorn: Halloween Movie Night Snack
We love family movie nights, and try to do it a few times a month. The kids are bathed and in their pajamas, popcorn gets popped, and we pick a fun family movie. In the month of October, we like to do “scary” movies and my daughter loves it. Her favorite right now has been Coraline, but I am more partial to The Nightmare Before Christmas. Either way, we ended up upping our movie night game recently with some spooky Halloween popcorn. It was sweet, salty, and super easy!
So believe it or not, I do not own a microwave! I know, let that sink in for a minute. We have not had one in a few years, and I honestly don’t even want one. For a while, we would make popcorn on the stove in a cast-iron skillet, but recently we made a new little investment. We picked up this little air popper, and it has totally changed our popcorn game. It was only $15 and we noticed that more of the kernels pop, it takes less time, and tastes amazing. So if you are looking for a fun little kitchen gadget, for sure check it out.
So once we made our popcorn in the popper, I added the fun toppings. Some candy corn, skull, and bone candy, and melted white chocolate. I couldn’t find the orange candy melts at my store, so I improvised. White chocolate melts with orange food dye! I do wish my orange would have been a bit deeper, but it still tasted amazing.
That is it! Seriously, it is so easy and guaranteed to please any crowd. We love Halloween treats, we also made some Graveyard Pudding recently that would go well with the spooky Halloween popcorn for a party.

Such a fun movie night snack. We have movie night every friday around here, so guess what I am making this week? Yum.
I hope you enjoy! We try to do a movie night on Saturday/Sunday depending on what night we are all home lol
We love family movie nights, especially during the holidays! Halloween is one of our favorite times to watch movies together, and we love to munch on popcorn. I love your spooky version.
This looks so good! My husband hates candy corn so more for me haha. Definitely going to make some of this for Halloween. Our first trick or treating with our daughter!
Ha that sounds like my husband!
We probably would have to skip all the fun toppings since I hate candy corn and my husband hates white chocolate, but we definitely need to invest in an air popper!
Not only is your spooky popcorn adorable, it looks delicious too! I will have to try with my son.
That popcorn sounds great. I like microwave popcorn but a cornpopper is great too. It is nice you do the family movie night.
I LOVE this idea! I think I’m going to make some for a special Halloween treat! Or maybe for Halloween treat bags!
I SO love the combination of sweet and salty especially when it comes to pop corn! This is perfect for a scary movie night with the husband! Thanks for the recipe, it’s really easy to put together!
We used an air popper until it wore out. Then we used and old-timey stove top churn popper that I loved until it broke. Now we just pop it in some coconut oil on the stove top. This looks like a fun Halloween treat!
That’s going to be so much fun to make with the kids! They love helping out in the kitchen and once we whip this up a movie would be great!
My husband my kids usually enjoys night time movies. These popcorns can be best thing to make their movie more interesting .
My girls LOVE when i make popcorn and pout some melted chocolate on it and toss in some other fun treats. It’s like a normal movie night just ramped up to score me extra awesome points!
This would be the perfect Halloween snack for my kids. They love popcorn and sweet treats together.
Candy melts is such a perfect addition. I love the fall and everything that goes with it.
I love salty and sweet together on popcorn. This looks so good and festive.
Oh this looks super fun! It’s perfect for a spooky Halloween movie night! I need to show this to my kids.
We love watching Halloween movies as a family. This popcorn would be perfect. How fun to add candy melts!
I love how simple and fun this is. I bet kids would love it too. That’s the best part, they are so easily amazed and amused!

This looks oh so fun and yummy to make! I have never thought of it this way but with a little one on the way — we will have plenty of Halloween with a need for this! Thank you.
What a fun treat to add into popcorn which is a daily snack in our house. Will have to make this fora movie night!!
This is the perfect sweet and salty Halloween treat! I would love to make up a batch of this to watch some scary movies with.
We used to have a neighbor that would create this type of popcorn treat each Halloween. I always looked forward to eating it. I really should try and make it myself since I bit too old for trick-or-treating.
We love to have a big bowl of popcorn when we are having movie night. This looks like it would taste so amazing!
Your Halloween Popcorn looks super yummy! I bet our kids would love it if we made this.
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks, even if I have to be careful eating it – due to some chronic health issues, I choke very easily on my food. I love the idea of sweet and salty popcorn, and it looks cool as well. Thanks for the idea. Blessings!
Double Broilers are my best friend for fun snacks and festive treats! This popcorn looks absolutely delicious! I will definitely be making it!
This popcorn looks great and definitely perfect for a fun family movie night! My girls would love it. We don’t do spooky movies with our daughters but there are so many cute ones out there great for family nights in this month.
