Adam Sandler made a Halloween movie. As part of his lucrative and ongoing partnership with Netflix, the actor/comedian created the Halloween-themed comedy Hubie Halloween. The film was a success on the streaming platform, spending nine consecutive days at the top of the charts. While critics and the wider audience were ultimately left unimpressed, the film satisfied the most ardent Sandler fans with a return to the simple-minded but heroic figures that made his early works so popular.
