What about "The Worst Witch"? I know it's old and has cheesy special effects, but the story has a good moral! Plus, it has Tim Curry!!! :D

oh come on.. you forgot my all time Halloween prep fav!

The Addams Family! Good update of the series, and definitely spooky feeling, but still fun for kids.

If you can find it.. Ernest Scared Stupid was a good laugh, and didn't require any thought... EEeeewwwwwwww!

and for when they get a little older.. Young Frankenstein!

definitely young frankenstein! ..the tap routine has me in rewind for an hour of belly laughs!

Addams family I hate due to it not being a patch on the 60's versions, but good reminder to get both the munsters & addams originals on dvd!

It's not really Halloweeny and it's not film but do you remember Wurzel Gummidge? It scared me as a child. It's scarecrow based,aimed at children but is quite dark and sinister at times. I watch it now with my daughter (4 this month) she keeps asking, "Daddy why is he twisting his head off his shoulders?" and is most upset she can't do it to me and also "Daddy, why are you hiding behind the sofa?" On sale at The Works - £5 for 4 dvd's.

I agree with you, Tkaraoke, this is one of my favorites as well. My mom cleaned out her videos and this short was on a Disney Halloween Haunts tape. My kids LOVE this and we re-watch it every year. Kinda worried about wearing out the tape- wish they had it on DVD. You gotta love Witch Hazel. :D

Other movies we watch are Spaced Invaders (very funny- love the kids in the costumes) and Ghostbusters. As a preteen I would watch 'Something Wicked this Way Comes' and "Watcher in the Woods". The first always scared the livin' lights out of me. :shock: Too much for smaller kids, I think.

My little girl turns 3 next week and she is getting Monsters Inc as a Halloween DVD. This thread has been great for suggesting other films to help turn her into a mini zombie pumpkin carver.

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (with Don Knotts) would be excellent for kids.
