Halloween movie suggestions for 11yo and 9yo?

[wotafaff]

I'm looking for a good Halloween movie for my two boys. They're usually ok with a 12A, though I always check out the detail on the IMDB Parents' Guide first.

I don't want them getting nightmares, so perhaps something with a few shocks and a happy ending would work best, rather than something really sinister.

Most of the well known horror films seem to be 15+. The Woman in Black is 12A but I've seen that and I think it's pretty sinister. My eldest has already seen Coraline, which is a PG, but I'd rather get something they haven't seen.

Any ideas?

The Witches is great and not too scary.

Although at those ages I had already introduced my DSs to American Werewolf In London (they loved it)

The Dark Crystal

The original Clash of the Titans

The original Jason and the Argonauts

Ghostbusters is too scary! gremlins gets my vote

Paranormal, by the same people as Coraline, is good. Any Scooby Doo movie.

Ummm.....I think you mean Paranorman? No kid should be watching Paranormal.

Hocus Pocus is the best Halloween film ever - fact.

We are moving this fangtastic thread over to films in a mo.

Just about to watch hotel Transylvania with the kids. I think sixth sense is quite scary really although a really excellent film and it makes me cry the bit in the car when he tells mum the answer is yes. Im tearing up just thinking about it. Deliberately trying not to give spoilers away.

Gremlins
Harry Potter?
watcher in the woods
teen wolf?

I let my 12 year old watch Jaws she Loved it ! Didn't want to put her feet down on the carpet off the sofa after Hahahaha (jaws is a 12 or pg)

Toy Story of Terror! - only 22 minutes long but a nice short to watch at any age :)
