17 Halloween Movies To Watch With Your Kids

Here gathered top 17 Halloween movies that parents can watch with their kids at Halloween. These scary movies (that aren't too scary) will set the Halloween mood for the entire family

1. Ghostbusters (1984)

Ghostbusters (1984)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: The movie is a comedy classic and a fun take on the paranormal.

2. Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)

Ernest Scared Stupid (1991)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: Ernest accidentally unleashes a band of trolls — that turn children into wooden dolls — upon a small town on Halloween and must work to set things right.

3. The Addams Family (1991)

The Addams Family (1991)

After living there, strange things begin happening to her, which lead her to investigate the 30-year-old disappearance of young girl named Karen.

Scary scenes: Quite a few scenes — so this movie works better for older kids — but most notably the scene were Jan enters the fun house (always a bad idea) and the ghostly image of blindfolded Karen appears in the hall of mirrors, crying out for help.

Also, the film’s score will give you the chills.

5. Hocus Pocus (1993)

Hocus Pocus (1993)

6. Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)

7. Casper (1995)

Casper (1995)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: It’s a sweet story of young girl who, along with her ghost-chasing dad, moves into a creepy mansion where she befriends Casper, the friendly ghost of 12-year-old boy.

Scary scenes: None. But beware, this movie may cause sexual awakenings.

8. Tower of Terror (1997)

Tower of Terror (1997)

9. The Monster Squad (1987)

The Monster Squad (1987)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: It’s a fun monster movie, set in 1980s suburbia, and features the classic Universal Monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, The Mummy, and The Gill-man.

Scary scenes: YES! This is definitely an older-kids movie; it features a good amount of violence, profanity, and sexual innuendos. Also, The Gill-Man is pretty terrifying.

10. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: Tim Burton’s now-classic film is one of the rare movies that works well as both a Halloween and a Christmas movie.

Scary scenes: The maggot-filled villain, Oogie Boogie, might be a little intense for very young children.

11. Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins (1984)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: Like The Nightmare Before Christmas, this film — about a small town terrorized by monsters during Christmastime — works well as both a Halloween and a Christmas movie.

Scary scenes: The movie does have some genuinely scary scenes in it — particularly the gory kitchen scene.

12. Return to Oz (1985)

Return to Oz (1985)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: Disney’s first Oz film really works well as a sort of horror movie for children.

Scary scenes: HELL YES! Arguably, the scene where a headless Mombi chases after Dorothy — with her wall of decapitated heads screaming in terror — is the scariest thing ever shot for a children’s film.

13. Monster House (2006)

Monster House (2006)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: Overall this is a fun movie that does not shy away from being just the right amount of scary for kids.

Scary scenes: There are a few scenes that are tailored to frighten kids.

14. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit(2005)

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: It is an awesome and fun take on werewolf movies.

Scary scenes: None. Unless your kids are scared of Claymation characters.

15. ParaNorman (2012)

ParaNorman (2012)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: The main character, Norman, is just your average kid who sees dead people.

Scary scenes: Some slightly scary scenes featuring zombies.

16. Frankenweenie (2012)

Frankenweenie (2012)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: The movie is not only a wonderful homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein, but also to B-horror movies of the 1950s.

Scary scenes: None. But the overall theme about the loss of a pet is heartbreaking.

17. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

Why it’s a great Halloween movie: While this is mostly overlooked in terms of being a Halloween movie — the alien/supernatural plotline lends itself quite nicely to this time of year. Also, one of the movie’s most iconic scenes takes place on Halloween.

Scary scenes: The scenes of E.T. dying can be a bit intense for little ones, and of course the ending, while not scary, is a real tearjerker.
