Most kids like to watch movies that aren’t exactly age-appropriate, especially once the spooky season arrives. If your kids are asking you to let them watch some scary movies just in time for Halloween, here are a few PG-rated options that won’t scare them too much.
Hocus Pocus
The 90s classic Hocus Pocus centers on a trio of witches who are resurrected by a teenage boy who recently moved from California to Salam, just in time to fulfil an old All Hallows’ Eve prophecy.
Gremlins
Another classic horror comedy for viewers of all ages, Gremlins centers on a young man who unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters on a small town after breaking the rules concerning his strange new pet.
Ghostbusters
If you’re in the mood for a spooky marathon this fall, Ghostbusters is one of the best kid-friendly options because it features several films across different decades.
The Addams Family
The Addams Family is one of the most eccentric, bizarre, and spooky dynasties ever put on screen, and their quirky adventures will give you a nostalgia overload while also entertaining your kids.
Goosebumps
If you’re in the mood to explore some modern kid-friendly spooky movies with your little ones, this 2015 horror comedy inspired by R. L. Stine’s children’s horror book series Goosebumps is a good place to start.
