The most terrifyingly fun night of the year is approaching or at least let's try to make it happen. A night in which we can disguise ourselves in the most horrifying way we can think of, distribute candies or sweets to the shout of "trick or treat!", And dine the most horrific menu at the same time delicious that we have prepared with our sons.
And for what? Well, for example, for denjoy with family or friends of any of these films that we propose. We have classified them by age, but it is only an indicative fact according to our criteria and the recommendation of the producer. You, as parents, have the last word. Enjoy!
For the smallest of the house
The films that we propose below are designed for the little ones. They are funny cartoons but related to monsters, vampires or Halloween night. Surely you enjoy watching them with your family!
- Pocoyo, the Halloween show
If your child is a Pocoyo fan, we recommend you visit the YouTube channel of this nice animated character. In addition, on the occasion of Halloween night you can find fun chapters related to it, such as this one in which Pocoyo and Nina invite us to enjoy a "terrifying" show.
- Caillou: Happy Halloween
Caillou's character also enjoys the sympathy of the little ones. Just like Pocoyo has his own YouTube channel, and of course, he also celebrates Halloween!
- Micky Mousse dances to the Halloween show
For the fans of Micky Mousse who also like to sing and dance, we recommend you visit the Disney Junior YouTube channel, where you will find short videos of Micky and his friends dancing to the sound of terrifying songs, such as Count Mickula.
- SA monsters
This fun movie tells the story of a gang of endearing, friendly, affectionate monsters ... and they don't know how to scare! Perfect to see with the kids at any time, although doing it on Halloween night will make it even more special.
- Hotel Transylvania
And we can't think of a better movie to close the Halloween children's cinema session than Hotel Transylvania I and II. This movie, full of mummies, vampires, werewolves and terrifying monsters will delight the whole family with their humor points and the sympathy that all their characters awaken.
From 6-7 years old
Below, we share a list of movies that we have cataloged for children between six and seven years. We believe that below this age they are not suitable, not because of the content itself of the film but because not being cartoons, it may bored younger children. In any case, no one better than parents to value it.
- Casper
It is kind and fun but there are things that at certain ages find it difficult to understand so attentive to your questions. For the rest, the ghost boy and his friend have a great time together.
- The adventures of the little ghost
This fun movie is based on a story by Ottfried Preussler, author of "Krabat and the Devil's Mill", among other children's classics. It tells the story of a little ghost who knows a group of children who are hiking in the castle where he lives.
- ET the alien
A classic in children's cinema that never goes out of style and that leaves no one indifferent. It is not a horror movie but it has mystery scenes, and also Halloween night is one of the key moments of the film.
- Ghostbusters
You can choose between the original version or the new version of these cleaning professionals. There is the odd moment of tension but it is still a fun comedy.
- The little Vampire
It is an animated feature film that can be seen right now in theaters and tells the friendship between a vampire and a child. This is a film adaptation of Angela Sommer-Bondenburrg's successful children's novels.
- Frankenwinnie
The loss of a pet is very hard, in some cases it is the loss of the best friend we had. Therefore, when the protagonist of this story loses his dog, he decides to carry out an experiment, of unpredictable consequences, in order to bring him back to life.
From 8 years
In this section we recommend a series of titles that, due to the complexity of some scenes or their script, we consider that the ideal age to see and understand them would be around eight years.
- The amazing world of Norman
Yes, they are cartoons but that does not fool you because talking about ghosts, witches, bonfires ... some may need a hug at some time while you are watching the movie.
- Monster house
We return to a story in which the feelings are mixed and what seems so terrifying is that it may not be so much, perhaps the younger audience might need some explanation, but that does not translate into not enjoying this great movie.
- Nightmare Before Christmas
This Tim Burton film premiered after Disney put scissors and removed the darkest content of the film, but still certain scenes or drawings may surprise the little ones, hence we recommend that it be seen from a certain age.
- Harry Potter "The Deathly Hallows" (I and II)
I think they are the darkest, most dramatic and perhaps somewhat gloomy of the entire Harry Potter saga, so they had to be included in this compilation of more than recommended movies to enjoy Halloween night.
- Corpse Bride
It is a film shot in stop motion, based on a folk tale of the nineteenth century, of Russian-Jewish origin and directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson. It has all the ingredients to give "fear of the good."
- Coraline's worlds
The novel on which the film is based was published in 2002 and the film was released seven years later. It was very well received by critics but beware! Because even if they are cartoons, the little ones could be scared of this family and its reality.
- Dad, I'm a zombie
It is an animated film where zombies, witches and other beings of the night come together in an endearing adventure in which Dixie, its protagonist, will learn to face the problems of life after his stay among the dead.
From 10 years
In this section we share movie titles especially suitable for children from nine or ten years old. Some contain scenes that might impress younger children, hence we have considered it more appropriate to recommend them from an older age.
- The gremlins
A classic in children's cinema, at times funny and touching but in others mysterious and scary. The transformation of these little beings and their diabolical behavior will not leave the viewer indifferent.
- The Adams family
Who has not seen her as a child and wants her own children to grow up enough to see her with them? It is a classic in all aspects and has an intelligent, sarcastic and black humor that we love, but that the little ones may not understand. Therefore, we believe that the best age to see it is from the age of ten.
- The Haunted Mansion
Inspired by the horror passages of the amusement parks, this film tells the story of a real estate agent who is commissioned to transform and rebuild a house inhabited by ghosts.
- Beetlejuice
Another Tim Burton classic where the story and the character are the director's own invention. A mixture of ghosts and black humor that in general usually likes young and old alike. At the time it was a success and it is one of those films that age gracefully.
- Nightmares
It is cataloged as a comic horror movie, it is not known if one dies of laughter or fear of seeing it. It is based on a series of horror books intended for children. It is two years ago and stars Jack Black. Do we need any more reason to see it these days?
- Miss Peregrine's home for pecual children
It is a very entertaining movie with a script that is appealing to children and not so children, although there is some critical moment in which fear is mixed with a few drops of repulsion and perhaps among the little ones, the cocktail can be somewhat disturbing, hence We recommend it for children a little older.
- The Spiderwick Chronicles
There is magic everywhere but more in an old half-uninhabited house for a long time where there is also a very rare book that is better not to open and that someone opens. Depending on the child, his age and his maturity, the end can be a bit complicated to understand, attentive to give the appropriate explanations!
