Adam Sandler’s comedy film is giving us tricks and treats this Halloween
Adam Sandler’s newest comedy film will be released on October 7 via Netflix. In Hubie Halloween, he portrays the role of Hubie DuBois, a well-intentioned but dopey and frequently-mocked community volunteer who spends each Halloween exhaustively ensuring his neighbors celebrate the holiday safely. The film will follow Hubie as he finds himself at the center of a real murder investigation during one Halloween night.

Netflix wrote: Hubie Dubois (Adam Sandler) thanklessly spends every Halloween making sure the residents of his hometown, Salem, celebrate safely and play by the rules. But this year, an escaped criminal and a mysterious new neighbor have Hubie on high alert. When people start disappearing, it’s up to Hubie to convince the police (Kevin James, Kenan Thompson) and townsfolk that the monsters are real, and only he can stop them. Hubie Halloween is a hilarious family film about an unlikely hero with an all-star cast including Julie Bowen, Ray Liotta, Noah Schnapp, Steve Buscemi and Maya Rudolph, produced by Happy Madison.
The said film is the latest in a long line of films that have spawned from the Netflix deal Sandler signed in 2014. The first film out of the Sandler-Netflix partnership was 2015’s “The Ridiculous 6,” which was followed by “The Do-Over,” “Sandy Wexler,” “The Week Of,” “Murder Mystery,” and standup special “100% Fresh.” Sandler’s “Murder Mystery,” in which he starred opposite Jennifer Aniston, is one of Netflix’s most-watched original movies with 73 million streams.
Last January, Sandler extended his original deal with Netflix to make four more movies for the streaming service. “Hubie Halloween” is the last of the six movies Sandler had originally planned to make for Netflix. He is also working on an animated feature film for Netflix that he will write, produce, and star in.
