What happens

Hubie Halloween is a 2020 American horror comedy mystery film directed by Steve Brill, co-written by Tim Herlihy and Adam Sandler, and features an ensemble cast consisting of Sandler in the title role, Kevin James, Julie Bowen, Ray Liotta, Rob Schneider, June Squibb, Kenan Thompson, Shaquille O'Neal, Steve Buscemi, Tim Meadows, Maya Rudolph, and Ben Stiller, with the latter reprising his role from Happy Gilmore (1996). The film follows a Halloween-loving delicatessen worker who must save the town of Salem, Massachusetts, from a kidnapper as various hijinks occur. Released on October 7, 2020, by Netflix, the film received mixed reviews from critics, although some critics considered it better than Sandler's other recent comedies. It pays tribute to actor Cameron Boyce, who was set to co-star, but died in 2019 due to epilepsy. Karan Brar appeared in the intended role instead. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
