7 Kid-Friendly Halloween Movies You Should Watch

It is that time of year again and we are just days away from one of the most beloved holidays: Halloween. Y'all, t'is the season to eat an absurd amount of candy, drink every kind of pumpkin flavored beverage, and light all your seasonal candles (my Candied Apple candle made by Better Homes and Gardens and available for purchase at Wally World is my favorite). This is also the time to settle in on the couch, snuggle up with your loved ones, make some kettle corn, and enjoy Halloween movies with your family. Movie-watching is an awesome pastime that can be done so easily and comfortably. So, parents, make this a Halloween tradition your kids will look forward to every year! Here are 7 family-friendly, Halloween movies you can watch with your little ones:


1. "Casper" (1995)

Rating: PG

Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci

This is such a fun movie that features ghosts that are hilarious, not terrifying. If your kids are cool, and maybe 10 years old and up, they should enjoy this one.


2. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993)

Rating: PG

Starring: pretty much just Danny Elfman

This is a classic that you can sing along with! I still know all the words to Jack's Lament. If your kids are headed for that emo stage in their life, they'll like this one. Just turn it on and it'll trick them into spending time with you.


3. "Beetlejuice" (1988)

Rating: PG

Starring: Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder, Geena Davis

This is another classic that'll have your kids rolling on the floor laughing, not running to your bed at 3 am crying about some, "that movie scared me" stuff.


4. "The Little Vampire" (2000)

Rating: PG

Starring: Jonathan Lipnicki

This one is super cute and can be enjoyed by even the littlest little ones.


5. "The Haunted Mansion" (2003)


Rating: PG

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Tilly

I am almost 21 years old and I can still watch this movie and enjoy it. This is a great one you can watch with the kiddos and actually enjoy yourself.


6. "The Addams Family" (1991)

Rating: PG-13

Starring: Angelica Houston, Raul Julia, Christina Ricci

This one is rated PG-13 because of a little sexual content, but if you are not super over-protective your kids should love this movie. It is one of my all time favorites and I can quote most of it word for word.


7. "Hocus Pocus" (1993)


Rating: PG

Starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thora Birch

This is a classic everyone loses their minds over. You would be a fool not to share it with your children! Don't we all want the best for them?


OK guys, make the holidays count because they only come around once a year. Cozy up on the couch with your 9-year-old while you have the chance, and bond over these movies....because in a few years they will be embarrassed to walk down the same aisle as you in Wal-Mart.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
