Welcome back to Halloween Week! Today's post is for all of us big kids out there and those horror films haters. Every year I pull out a select few films and watch them on repeat until Halloween comes. And the majority of them just happen to be kids films. So today I thought I'd share with you my Top 5 Halloween Kids Films.
Every year since I was probably about 4 The Nightmare Before Christmas has been a firm favourite of mine. It comes out at Halloween, at Christmas and anytime I need a little pick me up. This comes from the brilliant mind of Tim Burton and whilst it's got that gothic style and creepy characters, it's not too scary for younger children. Plus it has a brilliant soundtrack that'll get stuck in your head for hours, even days after you've watched it.
Up next is another yearly favourite that I happily pull out every October 1st. Hocus Pocus is a firm family favourite that'll yet again be entertaining for all ages. Starring Bette Midler and a very young Sarah Jessica Parker this film has a little bit of something for everyone. Laughs all round and a perfect mood setter for the upcoming holiday, Hocus Pocus is probably going to be my most watched film this year.
This next film is a little harder to come by but can always be found on iTunes. Halloweentown is more of a older child's film but won't scare any younger viewers if they happen to watch it. An old school favourite that'll still entertain kids these days, Halloweentown also has several sequels that'll keep everyone occupied and entertained for hours. Definitely my favourite throwback movie.
The Addams Family is another family classic that I've watched time and time again. Not creepy, full of laughs and suitable for the whole family. It's catchy theme song will be stuck in your head for a long time after you've watched this. Another film that comes with sequels so are perfect for a movie marathon. Another brilliant throwback movie.
Paranorman isn't your normal Halloween movie but considering it's narrative is based on zombies returning then it fits in well with the holiday. It looks a lot like it would come from Tim Burton with it's stop motion animation but alas it's not. There are a fair few laughs, loveable characters but some scenes may be too creepy so may just be best for older children.
