These fun Halloween movies for kids bring the Halloween fun without the spooky parts—all the fun without the fright.
Why Show Halloween Movies
Spook Safe Environment
Kids will run into spooky things around Halloween despite how careful you may be. From commercials on TV to spooky sounds on ads on the radio to simply driving to the library, spooky things are all over.
Introducing some spooky things (bats, friendly skeletons, costumes) in a safe environment at home can help ease some of the scares when your little one experiences them.
Seasonal Fun
Watching Halloween movies for kids is a great way to get into the Halloween spirit.

Family Bonds
Grab some movie snacks and enjoy watching cute Halloween movies for kids while spending time with your little ones. Watching the movies together allows you to talk about the movies (hello, conversation skills practice!).
Creativity and Imagination
Many Halloween movies for kids introduce the idea of costumes and pretend. This may spark your kid’s creativity and imagination for their costume and beyond!
Who knows, maybe the Halloween movie you watch may be what your little one decides to dress up as this year.
Learn about Different Traditions
Each family celebrates Halloween a bit differently. From the way costumes are chosen to how they come to be (bought, made, etc.), and even how little ones trick or treat, it is all up to the family.
While watching Halloween movies for kids with your little ones, you are able to see how the characters celebrate Halloween. If the character does something different than how your family does it, talk about it with your little one.
