Halloween Movies for Kids - Top Ten

We don’t know about you but there is something about Halloween that really brings the kid out in me. It’s that one time of year that I don’t feel overly silly for dressing up, gorging on candy, and getting creative with the pumpkin guts. It’s also when I allow myself to be a bit spooked.

Here’s a list of some favourites that are perfect for you to enjoy with your little monsters.

Top 5 Halloween Movies for Kids

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
