Films

Here’s a selection of the best family-friendly Halloween films for kids to watch, a mixture of old classics and some newer ones to try out. These are just a small choice of Halloween films to check out. Keep an eye out on the TV guide for any leading up the festive seasons.

This one is actually about the Day of the Dead, and not Halloween, a perfect way for kids to learn more about that special holiday. Watch this one on Disney Plus.

A classic film with a nostalgic feel full of suspense but no ghosts or witches so a good choice for a film night. Find this one on Prime Video or Apple TV.

Watch these classic films back to back and enjoy the storyline with great music and characters. Watch these on Disney Plus.

For a change, visit the outdoor cinema in Doncaster which is showing Hocus Pocus. Follow the link here to find out more and to book. Limited spaces.

This hilarious film has all the favourite monsters in one place and if your kids love this one, there are plenty of sequels that follow: Hotel Transylvania 2, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation and Hotel Transylvania: Transformania. Watch most of these on Netflix.

There’s a new 2023 adaptation of the class Haunted Mansion being released on the 4 October on Disney Plus.
