Tis’ the season for scary movies, sweaters and pumpkin flavored treats. But have you ever wondered which children's movie is the most popular for Halloween?

A recent study by USDish says New Jersey's top family flick is “The Addams Family.” The study says the movie was the third most searched. This may have something to do with the popular TV series “Wednesday” that was released on Netflix in 2022.
