Looking for the best Halloween movies for kids and the whole family? Something to cozy up on the couch to watch or playing in the background as you do some Halloween activities?
Halloween is upon us! For me, Halloween has always signaled the start of the holiday season, as the month of October is bound to fly by and soon Christmas will be upon us. But before getting too far ahead of myself, I’ve rounded up a list of the best Halloween movies for the family, broken down by age and where you can stream it.
For me, the ultimate Halloween movie classic is Hocus Pocus, and it just doesn’t feel like Halloween unless I’ve watched it.
