These films are not too scary for the little ones!
We all love to get into the spirit of Halloween, dress up and watch scary movies, but the little ones in our lives love a good scare as much as we do. Now, we don’t mean they should watch The Omen or The Exorcist, but there are some really good films out there for the kids at Halloween.
1. Hocus Pocus
Three witches are resurrected from the dead on Halloween night and begin a reign of terror on Salem. It is up to Dani, a young girl, Max, and her friend, a cat, Binx. Two words. Bette Midler.

2. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
If you haven’t seen this Wallace and Gromit classic, you will probably love this as much as the kids in your life. Wallace and his trusted friend Gromit set out to find who is the mystery person behind the garden sabotage that’s destroying the town.
3. The Goonies
When a group of kids find a treasure map that will lead them to One-Eyed Willies’ treasure, they set out on a wild adventure to find the spoils before the evil Fratellis do. More good fun than scary, The Goonies is a cult classic.
4. Monsters Inc
Perhaps for the smaller ones, Monsters Inc would be worth a rewatch. Mike and Sully work for Monsters Inc, a company which specializes in gathering children’s screams after scaring and turning them into energy resources.

7. The Corpse Bride
A Tim Burton classic, the Corpse Bride tells the story of a groom who practices his vows over a woman’s grave. Unfortunately, the woman rises from the dead and believes that they are now married. Beautifully illustrated and heartbreaking in parts, The Corpse Bride is a perfect Halloween film.
8. The Nightmare Before Christmas
The King of Halloweentown discovers Christmas Town but has no idea what it all means. Get ready to break out those tunes… This is Halloween, this is Halloween.
9. Addams Family (Values)
Arguably one of the funniest films on the list and a genuine cult classic, Addams Family Values is the sequel to the hilarious Addams Family. However, this one includes the amazing Joan Cusack, a new baby and a killer script.
10. Coraline
Probably one of the scarier films on the list, especially for kids, Coraline tells the story of a young girl who finds a new world with some pretty horrible secrets.

11. Death Becomes Her
Maybe for the older kids but this IS the cult classic and one of the funniest films that has ever graced the screen. Mad and Hel take a potion that will give them eternal life, but it comes at a price. If you haven’t seen it before, this is essential viewing.
