Kid friendly Halloween Movies

 Halloween would not be complete without a good halloween movie. So I have put together a small list of kid friendly movies to either play during a party or to end the night with. Also if you know of some good movies, please feel free to post them below. Whose got the popcorn? Lol. Click on the movie to order online at Amazon.com.



The Great Pumpkin (1966 unrated)
Dubbed by a critic as one of "the most sincere of all Halloween specials," this classic should not be missed. How can you let Halloween pass without watching the Peanuts gang dressing up in Halloween costumes? Meanwhile, Linus tries to make his gang believe that the "Great Pumpkin" does exist.



ET (1982 rated G)
After being stranded on Earth when a spaceship leaves without him, a friendly Extra-Terrestrial (affectionately known as E.T.) develops a close relationship with 10-year-old Elliot and his siblings. The kids protect their new friend, help him build a communications device to "phone home," and even dress him up for Halloween. This heartwarming story of friendship is a delight for the entire family.


Pooh Heffalump Halloween Movie (2005 rated G)

It's Lumpy the Heffalump's first Halloween, and he's scared out of his wits! Pooh and the gang are so frightened of an imaginary monster they call the Gobloon, they determine that they'll need to go out and catch it - scaring themselves silly in the process! Besides its gentle humor and cuddly characters, Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie has some valuable lessons to teach kids about facing their fears.

Casper (1995 PG)
Furious that her late father only willed her his gloomy-looking mansion rather than his millions, Carrigan Crittenden (Moriarty) is ready to burn the place to the ground when she discovers a map to a treasure hidden in the house. But when she enters the rickety mansion to seek her claim, she is frightened away by a wicked wave of ghosts. Determined to get her hands on this hidden fortune, she hires afterlife therapist Dr. James Harvey (Pullman) to exorcise the ghosts from the mansion. Harvey and his daugh- ter Kat (Ricci) move in, and soon Kat meets Casper, the ghost of a young boy who’s “the friendliest ghost you know.”

Monster House (2006 rated PG)
Eddie Murphy stars as a real estate agent and a neglectful father who, with the help of his family and a psychic, attempts to rid Gracey Manor of 999 ghosts. A few scary scenes and several humorous ones make it appealing to tweens and older children. Rated PG, Walt Disney Pictures


Hocus Pocus (1993 rated PG)
More than 300 years ago, 3 witches were sentenced to die in Salem, Massachusetts and a boy was turned into a cat (a black cat, naturally). Now it’s Halloween, and the witches (who fly on – I kid you not – vacuum cleaners) are back. This time, they’ve got their eyes on immortal life and have turned their wrath on trick-or-treaters and it’s up to the 300-year-old cat to save the day.


Ghostbuster (1984 rated PG)
Three odd-ball scientists get kicked out of their cushy positions at a university in New York City where they studied the occult. They decide to set up shop in an old firehouse and become Ghostbusters, trapping pesky ghosts, spirits, haunts, and poltergeists for money. They wise-crack their way through the city, and stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, one which will release untold evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters are called on to save the Big Apple. This film is a timeless cult classic.


Boo to you too Winnie The Pooh (1996 unrated)


The Little Vampire (2000 rated PG)


Monsters Inc
In a land of monsters, James P. Sullivan is king. He and his coworker/ friend Mike Wazowski are two of many monsters that work for Monsters Inc. a utility company that generates power for a very paranoid and nervous city of monsters. This power, oddly enough, is generated from the screams of children, which is produced by scaring them in their sleep. One night, however, Sully uncovers a devious plot to rid Monster city of it’s power problems, but in all the wrong ways. Together, ironically, Sully and Mike will fight to protect the innocence of the children they scare every night.


Cliffords Big Halloween
Chock-full of thrills and chills. Your kids will love the mishaps of the Big Red Dog as he gets accidentally trapped in a bed sheet and scares his neighbors in one fun-packed Halloween night


Spongebob Squarepants Halloween
Dive into the underwater town of Bikini Bottom with the adorable sea sponge and his friends as they embark on one eerie adventure after another. Five action-packed episodes include "Scaredy Pants," "Imitation Krabs," "Frankendoodle," "I Was a Teenage Gary," and "Squidward, the Unfriendly Ghost."


The Witches
This macabre on-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel is a gripping treat for both kids and adults. An orphaned boy moves with his grandmother to an English hotel, where a horrifying group of child-hating witches is holding a convention. What follows is definitely not a fairy tale but a sinister black comedy where good does eventually win over evil.
