Halloween film recommendations for 7 year old.

[SpicyPickle22]

I have a little horror but who wants to step things up a bit this year but not sure what to watch with her! I was thinking maybe some of the older scary films as they’re not really scary anymore.
So far she’s watched and enjoyed:

Little shop of horrors
Rocky horror picture Show
Goosebumps (and read all of the books!)
Nightbooks
Addams family
A few episodes of Sabrina

Probably a few others.
She said she wants to actually feel scared for the next one.
Not too scary though please as I am a wimp!

Gremlins? Scared me when I was little!

The goosebumps series on Netflix is perfect for that age! I find it a bit scary now and I like proper horror films!
Also it’s not scary but the Halloween town films on Disney + are great for kids and have that 90’s American Halloween vibe!

Stranger Things is too terrifying but Blair Witch is totally fine bizzare.

Not a film, but Moondial isn't too long to be watched in one sitting. The spinning moondial used to freak me out at her age.

It's available as a DVD on Amazon.

My 8yo finds some of Scooby Doo films a bit scary.

Hocus Pocus is amazing

Honestly I only suggested Blair Witch because I don’t remember a single thing about it, apart from it not being in the slightest bit scary. I’ll get my coat….

Nightmare before Christmas
Corpse bride.
Prtetty much any tim burton films.

Monster House
Frankenweenie
Coraline
Monster family
Scared Shrekless
Spooky buddies
Hotel Transylvania
Beetlejuice
The nightmare before Christmas
The Addams family
ParaNorman

These are my Halloween and 4 year old grandson's favourites.

@SarahBellam

Shaun of the Dead.

The OP will probably think that's a good idea too 🤦🏻‍♀️

We’re watching the old goosebumps series. I didn’t realise they were on Netflix!

Following for ideas 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

@TimeIhadaNameChange - Moondial! I loved that as a kid. Not thought about it in years!

Maybe lost boys if she likes vampires? Dont think theres much swearing if any.

Ghostbusters the original one ,that used to scare me as a child

Spirited Away
Stardust
Spiderwick Chronicles
Labyrinth
Coraline
Corpse Bride
Nightmare Before Christmas
Hocus Pocus
Addams Family
Hotel Transylvania
Casper

I would not suggest stranger things my 9yr old DS watched it I dont know why we thought it would be okay he was petrified by the second series and has slept terribly since. I would suggest Hocus Pocus Little Vampire Monster House Coraline The Witches new or old.

Coraline is freaky even for adults but it's for kids

Your 7 year old has watched the Rocky Horror Picture Show?? Christ on a bike I can’t believe more people aren’t shocked by this!! I’m a die hard Rocky Horror fan and it is absolutely inappropriate for a young child!! Chock full of sexual content.

As for The Lost Boys - it’s a 15 for a reason. Sweet Jesus.

Poltergeist 😳😳😳😳😳😳

So SO inappropriate. That film still gives me the creeps and I’m 38! Don’t do it to her.

Goosebumps
Ghostbusters
Gremlins
Hocus pocus
A series of unfortunate events

Monster house is creepy

Also not a film but would recommend Creeped Out on Netflix as a creepy series.

You could get a series going? How about Buffy the Vampire Slayer - most early episodes are pretty tame iirc.

Corpse Bride
Sleepy Hollow
Edward Scissorhands
Beetlejuice

She may not get scared in it but I would add Spirited Away to the list.
Maybe Beetlejuice? I think it might be worth checking for sexual content as that’s what we avoid for DD. I don’t want her thinking women are just there for groping or ornamental etc to we are careful what we expose her too. I am surprised you think Rocky Horror is fine as it seems more about sex than anything else.
