not so scary halloween movies for kids

Some of you may shudder to hear me say this, but Halloween is not my favorite holiday.  I don’t like the history of it. I do not like the scariness of it and I do not like the gory costumes. Since I am not a fan of spooky things, how do we navigate this spooky season?  We still have a lot of fun on Halloween!

I do love fun costumes and the light side of the holiday. I enjoy taking my kids out trick-or-treating on Halloween night and having a not-so-scary day together. We avoid the haunted house and creepy things and keep to the family-friendly activities.

I feel the same way about movies. I have never liked the scary horror movies. My kids love holiday movies, so I wanted to compile a list of Not-So-Scary Halloween Movies for Kids.  These are Best halloween movies for young kids and those that scare easily.  I feel comfortable letting my kids watch these movies, and know that they won’t give them nightmares!

If you are horror fans, this list will probably not be for you!  But they can help you get into the Halloween spirit!

So, stock up on treats and get ready to plan your next family movie night! These can all be streamed on Amazon Prime Video!
