10 Halloween movies the whole family will enjoy.
00:00
I thought I would put together some of my children's favourite spooky, Halloween type movies that they like to watch this time of year. I also enjoy a good family movie! All of these movies are 'U' or 'PG' rated.
In no particular order...
- Pooh's Heffalump Halloween movie - This is my daughters absolute favourite! Winnie the pooh and his friends go trick or treating with 'Lumpy'. Lumpy has never been trick or treating before! With Roo by Lumpy's side he knows he can face anything. It';s a little bit scary for younger children but it's also funny in places and is the perfect Halloween movie for little children. (Rated U - suitable for all ages)
- Monster House - This one is Charlie's favourite Halloween type movie. 'Young DJ knew there was something strange about the Nebbcracker house across the street. The house becomes a living breathing monster....' Will DJ and his pals be able to save the neighbourhood from devastation? A fairly spooky movie rated PG.
- Monsters Inc - Disney never fails! I personally wouldn't call this one spooky or scary but it's perfect for this time of year and is one of those movies that alwats makes us feel warm and cosy! I don't think my children will ever get bored of Disney's Monsters Inc. This movie is rated a 'U'
- Casper - Any Casper movie/cartoon. Casper is a little friendly ghost. We really enjoy 'Casper Scare School Scare day- which is full of Vampires, Zombies and other creatures of the night. It's a cartoon style. This movie is rated a 'U' and suitable for all ages.
- Goosebumps - My personal favourite - We actually saw this in the cinema and it was epic! My daughter who was eight years old at the time got a bit scared in places but she ended up really enjoying it. The film is rated a PG. It follows a boy named Zach who is new to the neighbour hood, he meets the girl next door 'Hannah' and they quickly become friends. Hannah is the daughter of the best selling Author R.L Stine. Stine is rather mysterious.. The monsters from his book become real... It's a really good movie and I highly recommend it. I promise that adults will enjoy this too and if you read the books Goosebumps when you were younger, you will certainly enjoy this movie.
- Monsters High - Thirteen Wishes. I'll admit, I haven't seen this movie but my daughter really likes it! And Monsters High seems to be the latest craze. I am actually really looking forward to watching this DVD to see what all the fuss is about.
- Scooby Doo The Movie - Who doesn't like Scooby Doo?! Follows Scooby are invited to a haunted theme park to try and solve a mystery.. Is the theme park haunted? The movie is awesome. It's kind of spooky/jumpy in places. Another one that adults will also enjoy! I really love Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, I think she's awesome and suits the roll well.
- Coraline - Based on Neil Gaiman's best selling book 'Coraline' (I recently read the book. It's amazing!) An animated movie rated PG. Coraline & her parents move into a new house. A house that's converted into flats. Two ladies live downstairs and a man lives upstairs. Coraline is bored and ends up finding a secret door, through the secret door live her 'Other' parents who resemble her real parents and there world mirros Coralines normal world. Her 'Other' parents have buttons for eyes and are very creepy indeed! Coralines 'Other' mother tries to keep Coraline forever... Coraline must be brave to try and save herself and her other parents so she can back to her normal life. This movie is rated PG but honestly, it's really creepy and just. I can't explain. Honestly, this is a really good movie, slightly different to the book but very, very good! I recommend this one if you haven't seen it already!
- Ghost busters - A classic! A paranormal researcher and her team try to prove that ghosts exists in modern society. Armed with plenty of attitude the team prepare for an epic battle! This movie is rated PG.
- Hotel Transylvania - We saw this movie in the cinema a few years ago. In 3D and not gonna lie those bats flying at me? Made me jump! When the monsters want to get away they go to Count Dracula's castle - A place where they can be themselves without any bother from Humans! One special weekend Dracula invites creatures like the Invisible Man and others to celebrate his daughter 'Mavis' 118th Birthday. A human gate crashes the party and ends up falling in love with Mavis. Uh-oh. This movie had me in stitches of laughter, the kids were giggling through it too but it also has 'scary' scenes, too. Hotel Transylvania is an absolute perfectly hilarious movie for Halloween that anyone, any age can enjoy! My kids thoroughly enjoy this movie.
What are your favourite movies to watch on Halloween or during Autumn?

I remember watching and reading Goosebumps as a kid! It scared me! Great list and some old favourites I'd forgotten about. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteAwww, these are awesome!! My son is 18 months old, and honestly too young for all the Halloween festivities, so I think this will be a perfect list for a movie night! Thanks so much for sharing <3 #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of the Pooh one before - will def check this out as it's the right age for ours! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteOhh! Great list and perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDelete#Blogtober16
Ah a great list! I was hunting down films for halloween and will definitely get some of these for the girls :) #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteOh some great choices, Monsters Inc. is my favourite. I also have a Monster High fan but am successfully avoiding having to sit through the movies!
ReplyDeleteI love these movies!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and get through some halloweeny films this month- beetlejuice, frankenweenie, paranorman, coraline (prft like i don't watch it often anyway haha), nightmare before christmas, corpse bride and we just bought spongebob halloween dvd ;)
Hotel Transylvania is brilliant for adults and kids. My daughter is a big fan of the Monster high movies too. This is a great list you have put together.

This is a great list and I haven't seen many of these! My boy is loving all the Halloween bits and bobs in the shops at the mo so I might have to try a film :) Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday!
ReplyDeleteUsed to love Caspar. Good choices!

My kids loved Hotel Transylvania - and Hotel Transylvania two is just as good! Must get them to watch Caspar.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of movies Sarah. Monster house brings back so many fun memories for us. My daughter use to love watching it when she was the same age of the girl on the bike, she always use to hid behind me when he scared her rideing down the street, she still does infact :)
ReplyDeleteMy kids love Monster House (what a great movie) but we haven't seen it for ages - need to dig it out! Also loved Hotel Transylvania when we saw it at the cinema a few years ago. Goosebumps sounds fab - going to check that out!
ReplyDeleteThis takes me back to my childhood, my childrens and now my niece and nephew, we all love a movie, my favorite has to be Ghostbusters #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteHotel Translyvania is a great one of course! I like the sound of some of the others too, especially Coraline.
ReplyDeleteThese are some really good films. My girls are really little so I think whinnie the pooh is probably the only appropriate one at the moment, and maybe monster inc. I love Coraline myself but it is inexplicably strange and creepy.
ReplyDelete#KCACOLS
I used to love watching the Addams Family and Casper when I was growing up. I love Monsters Inc so that will have to make it onto my Halloween viewing list! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteMonsters Inc is my all time favourite. I haven't seen it for a while actually
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list. Casper is my ultimate favourite. As well as 'The Little Vampire', which is good if you haven't watched it before. I really want to see a few of these, especially Coraline. x
ReplyDeleteI love Coralline! I watched that a few times before I had kids! I would add The Nightmare before Christmas, we watch it every Halloween and again at Christmas time! Also, Frankenweenie is pretty good. I've not heard of some of these so will check them out xx #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteFab list of movies here. Casper and Ghostbusters are my favs.
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Absolutely loved Coroline. Thanks for such a useful Halloweeny post ! #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteAwesome list! My little one loves Monsters Inc! x
ReplyDeleteGreat List, I can't wait until half term to start watching some of these! #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteYes! One of the best things about Halloween has to be the awesome movies - great list here!
ReplyDeleteMy most favorite time of the year!! Fall and Halloween are the best. I'm so happy Hotel Transylvania is on Netflix now lol. Great list!! #twinklytuesday
ReplyDeleteI'm a little obsessed with Halloween and i'm so looking forward to it this year. I love your list or movies that are less about the scary stuff. I'm going to have to dig around to find some Casper stuff I think
ReplyDeleteGreat films! I was expecting to see Hocus Pocus there, I love that film! x #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice list! I will come back for some inspiration when choosing a movie for Halloween. #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteWe love watching Halloween films. I'd add Corpse Bride, Nightmare before Christmas and Frankenweenie to that list. LOVE Coraline too :)
ReplyDeleteGreat List! I love the film Casper but that is because one of the boybands I loved in the 90's song is in it! :) #Blogtober16
ReplyDeleteGhostbusters is just an absolute classic, I wasn't a fan of the remake though x
ReplyDeleteMy two, despite only being toddlers, are obsessed with Halloween & Halloween films. I eventually caved, after much begging & it being waved in my face, and let them try Coraline, convinced they would be scared. They LOVE it! Also Hotel Transylvania. I can't decide if they are too young for Ghostbusters, which I love - probably are! I forgot Monster House - thanks, must get that! #KCACOLS
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I don't really like Hallowe'en but sitting watching a family movie sounds a much better option than traipsing round the neighbours in the dark.

We actually watched Monster House only at the weekend there so definitely at the top of our list too. I am planning to watch Hotel Transylvannia 2 next. #TheList
ReplyDeleteI love when the festive seasons roll around, and I really love embracing the times. This is just the post I wanted to read - movies with the family are always a win, especially when its centred on the current times. Will definitely be getting out the first one, my little one is Pooh bear mad! Thanks for the inspo! #PickNMix
ReplyDeleteOh this is a great list, I was trying to think of Halloween films for the half term. I used to love the Goosebumps books but not seen the film. Thanks for linking to #PickNMix
ReplyDeleteEilidh x
This is a great list. I've never seen Goosebumps but have been meaning to watch it. No time like October. Love Ghostbusters & Hotel Transylvania. Will def check out some more of these. Thanks! #picknmix
ReplyDeleteOh yes ghostbusters used to scare me a bit as a kid! Thanks for sharing, I will have a look at that whinnie the poo one for my toddler but she can't sit still long enough for movies yet!! #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great list. We've never seen Goosebumps, but I know there is a good book series too so I should try and watch it. Ghostbusters too, my kids would love that! I might be able to catch the new one at the cinema then watch the classic one back at home - bonus! #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteI am a bit of wuss when it comes to scary movies! I do love Casper though and I haven't seen it for ages. I can see my Alice loving this, thank you for reminding me about it. One for us to watch. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteI love Monsters Inc and I think my son would love it now too! My favourite childhood Halloween film has always been Hocus Pocus, although I'm not sure Max will share my love of that - I suspect it may be a product of it's time! I loved Coraline too, but like you I did find it really creepy - will be saving that one until he's a bit older definitely! Thanks for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteGoosebumps is so classy, nice lists
ReplyDeleteCoraline is one of my absolute favourites! I remember seeing it with my nephew and he was sooo creeped out!
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about some of these movies - thanks for the reminder! We'll have to have a little family Halloween movie night!
ReplyDeleteI love ghostbusters! #sharingthebloglove
ReplyDeleteThank you for the awesome list! Yes, Hotel Transylvania is one that my son stumbled upon on his Kindle and the little bits that I overhear are a riot! Look forward to seeing the others, too! #sharingthebloglove
ReplyDeleteI have seen some of these and the ones I did see, I loved and would recommend. Very good list indeed. I will have to check out those I haven't seen. #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteThe kids and I loved the Goosebumps movie it was super scary at a kid level, some great choices here thank you! #sharingthebloglove
ReplyDeleteI so need to get down with kids films! My son is too little yet, but I can't wait until we can enjoy a film afternoon together. I'm definitely a Winnie the Pooh fan so that sounds like a great choice. I have to say I've never watched Ghostbusters all the way through 🙈 x #SharingtheBlogLove
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a list like this. Mine are loving Casper and Hotel Transylvannia at the moment. Must try and get some of the others. #HalloweenHorrors
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas here. I love Casper and Ghost Busters, and I've heard loads of good reports about Coraline
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #HalloweenHorrors :)
