OH_Homeschooler Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hulu has a special section for this! I'll share what they have right now (minus what you have listed). I'm not vouching for family friendliness or adequate Halloween content. Corpse Bride Hotel Transylvania and sequels Halloweentown and sequels Matilda Ghostbusters MonsterHouse Double Double Toil and Trouble (looks to be an Olsen twins movie) Harry Potter ET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Goosebumps (with Jack Black) is an all-time favorite here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) HBO Max is releasing a new The Witches (Dahl) in October. I loved the original as a kid (I think it's available on Prime/Netflix/Hulu?) so I'll probably do a trial to see this new one.

MrsMommy Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Does the whole movie have to be about Halloween? I love watching Meet Me in St. Louis at this time of year...it's divided into seasons, and the fall section of the movie is all Halloween. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercyA Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 When I rewatched Ghostbusters as an adult, I was surprised at how much sexual innuendo it contained. Just FYI. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emba Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Been awhile since I’ve seen it but when I was a kid I liked The Ernest movies, and there’s a Halloween one called (I think) Ernest: Scared Stupid. eta: parts of it were kind of scary to me, but I found parts of Hocus Pocus and Casper scary too. Depends on the sensitivity of your child, probably. Edited October 3, 2020 by Emba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori D. Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Didn't read through all the suggestions, but in case something wasn't already mentioned, here are 2 past threads of ideas:"Halloween movies for the family""Kids Halloween movies that are NOT very scary" A few more ideas:Room on the Broom (2012) -- animated version of the children's picture bookDisney Halloween cartoons on YouTube -- variety of Disney animated cartoons Mickey Mouse: "Lonesome Ghosts" (1937) -- Micket & friends as the original ghostbusters tussling with some prankster ghosts Witch Hazel cartoons -- here is one -- Warner Brothers animated Casper the Ghost cartoons? Cat in the Hat ?? -- animated specials; looks like there are 2 Halloween shows: "Tricks and Treats", and, "... Knows a Lot about Halloween"Coco (2017) -- Day of the Dead (Nov. 1) rather than directly Halloween, but it fits in thematicallyPenguins of Madagascar: I Was a Teenage Zombie -- collection of 8 shorts of the "scary" (lol) stories; these are well-written and very funny for all ages -- not directly stated that they take place at Halloween though Edited October 5, 2020 by Lori D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) 16 hours ago, Tina said: There's an old Abbott and Costello, but I don't remember the name offhand. Looks like they did several "spooky-comedies" of "Abbott and Costello Meet... - ...Frankenstein" (1948) - ...the Invisible Man" (1951) - ...Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1953) - ...the Mummy" (1955) Along with several of previous posters' ideas of old "scary/comedy" movies from the 1940s-50s are these 2 ideas (neither are set at Halloween, though): - Scared Stiff (1953) - Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin - The Fuller Brush Man (1948) - Red Skelton Edited October 5, 2020 by Lori D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
