Need a great list of Halloween movies for kids? This list is my non-scary list, because I do not love to be scared! 🙂 I also don’t love for my kids to wake up during the night with nightmares from a scary movie they watched!
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.
HOWEVER, I do love fun costumes and the light side of the holiday. I enjoy taking my kids out trick-or-treating and having a not-so-scary day together. We avoid the haunted things and keep to the family-friendly activities.
I feel the same way about movies. I have never liked the scary ones. My kids love holiday movies, so I wanted to compile a list of Not-So-Scary Halloween Movies for Kids. These are ones I feel comfortable letting my kids watch, that won’t give them nightmares!
