"scary" movies for kids

[poshredrose]

My youngest dc (9) and I were talking about Halloween this morning. We've decided we'll stay in this year and watch scary movies instead of going out.
Can anyone recommend a film suitable for his age? He loves Monster House and the Spiderwick Chronicles.
Definitely not Coraline, I couldn't sit through that again.
Thanks

The Haunted Mansion
Goosebumps
Mine also watched Gremlins at that age.

The Little Vampire and Hocus Pocus!

Ghost busters

Ghostbusters
Super 8, though it’s a 12A so maybe check the parental reviews first.

He's seen and enjoyed Ghostbusters. I was thinking about Gremlins and I can't believe I forgot about Hocus Pocus.
Thank you

The Witches scared the shit out of me as a child! I have never recovered.

Gremlins is a 12 and really disturbed me!

Adams family?

The 50's sci fi type/horror movies can be good, mine were watching them at that age - they are really tame but I would check for yourself as you know your child. Some have been rerated, others have the original certificate but most are Pgs by today's standards

The watcher in the woods
Escape to witch mountain
Creeped out on netflix is brilliant it's separate episodes
Also the A list on Netflix
Mine recently watched poltergeist and loved it, also love the birds.

They also love the Tom Cruise war of the worlds film

Echo hocus pocus and the witches, they’re my favourite.
Other movies we watch at Halloween:
Goosebumps, monster house, frankenweenie, nightmare before Christmas, corpse bride, Caspar, Adams family, paranorman.

Gremlins

In case you didnt know, Gremlins has a seen where one of the kids talks about how they found out Santa isn't real. Just mentioning in case your ds still believes.
