welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
family-friendly Halloween movies for
this list we’re taking a look at movies
that can be watched by people of all
ages during the Halloween season old
croon although they don’t necessarily
have to focus on the holiday itself
recipe Gryffindor number 10 the witch’s
when the witch chooses a victim there is
only one hope of escape
knowing everything about them but I’m
telling you who says that a movie must
merit an r-rating to be legitimately
scary based on Roald Dahl’s book this
dementedly charming fantasy isn’t afraid
to bring children’s worst nightmares to
life dr. boated black nah nah
some nightmares are more realistic like
losing one’s parents in a car accident
others are more fantastic like being
turned into a mouse by ghastly witches
whether you’re a 9 year old or a 90 year
old the witches is bound to creep the
bejesus out of you little boys love
snakes amidst all the spine-chilling
imagery though the film is also creative
atmospheric and wickedly entertaining
something I think you’ll like number 9
wallace and gromit the curse of the
where rabbit job well done
although wallace and gromit
are two of the most likeable characters
in animation they starred in some fairly
dark stories okay so we’ve created a veg
ravaging rabbit load stuff but we also
capture dick the duo is kind of like a
modern-day Abbott and Costello amounting
to this wonderful full-length film where
they meet the vegetable raiding where
rabbit their oscar-winning feature debut
is jam-packed with clever dialogue and
whimsical action sequences guarantee
to have all ages smiling throughout I’m
in if you’re looking for something
light-hearted but that still has the
month of October written all over it
you’ll be crackers about the curse of
the where rabbit Romy you a month well
done old pal
number eight ghostbusters
pick up your phone and call the
professionals ghostbusters
while Ghostbusters is a great comedy to
watch at any time of the year it was
tailor-made to be revisited every
Halloween
human sacrifice dogs and cats living
together mass hysteria audiences keep
coming back to Ghostbusters for its
unforgettable characters and quotable
one-liners what has that got to do with
it back off man
I’m a scientist the film’s so hilarious
though that sometimes people forget just
how inventive and eerie it is ten people
witnessed a free-floating full-torso
vaporous apparition
it blew books off shelves from 20 feet
away and scared the socks off some poor
librarian from the library goes to Zul
to even Stay Puft every being is a
unique blend of freaky and fun it’s the
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man over three
decades after its initial release the
Ghostbusters are still a favorite to
dress up as and costume parties who are
you guys we’re the Ghostbusters number
seven Frankenweenie
Sparky Tim Burton’s corpse bride
undeniably has a deadly appeal but
Frankenweenie is an even more horrifying
Lee touching fable
a remake of his 1984 live-action short
this stop-motion feature takes the
premise of a boy reanimating his dog to
new levels of horror humor and heart
wind isn’t stronger than animal back
from the dead for that need lightning
the film not only pays tribute to
Frankenstein but also The Wolfman
gremlins and even Gamera at the center
of everything is a meaningful story
about the bond between a boy and his
canine best friend just don’t try this
at home kids
number six ParaNorman norman realized
via twisted stop-motion artistry
ParaNorman is an incessantly innovative
and wonderfully weird outing that
resonates with the monstrous child that
lives within us all I keep telling you
Neil I like to be alone Sudha why let’s
do it together
centered on a little boy with a sixth
sense this film from the ingenious minds
at Leica entertainment is full of
frightful animation delightful writing
and memorable characters don’t make me
thrill this hummus it’s spicy in
addition to having a tremendous sense of
humor about itself and being a love
letter to all scary movies ParaNorman is
a shockingly human story that reminds us
it’s okay to be different there’s
nothing wrong with being scared
Norman so long as you don’t let it
change who you are
number five Halloween Town there
Halloween Town if Halloween’s your
favourite holiday then you’ll definitely
want to hop aboard the bus to
Halloweentown a realm inhabited by
ghosts skeleton cab drivers and a witch
played by Debbie Reynolds
I need another Cromwell witch and eat
you mother there are plenty of other
witches and warlocks in Halloweentown
why don’t you recruit one of them of
course they’re all about as scary as a
band of trick-or-treaters or
animatronics on the Haunted Mansion
being a Disney Channel original movie
Halloween town isn’t without its corny
moments but that’s widely part of its
charm it’s really very simple all you
have to do is one company and their
inspiring three sequels this nostalgia
hoot also works in strong morals that
encourage families to stick together and
listen to one another
wastrel youth the benighted hours be be
vanquished by my power
I said powers not flowers number four
The Addams Family being the first family
of everything ouki how could we not
invite the atoms to this party Barry
Sonnenfeld directs arguably the
definitive interpretation of the Addams
Family with extravagant sets
over-the-top visual gags and witty
one-liners to 10:11 eyes fingers tones
the cast from raúl juliá to Angelica
Houston to Christopher Lloyd totally
embodies the lively McCobb characters
created by Charles Addams hey hey hey
hey while essentially a series of
sketches these people are so unusually
enjoyable that the monster in us can’t
help but want to be part of their family
now boys and girls what do you think
that feels like
number three hocus-pocus but I shall be
a spray but I bought one myself but I
have all children in Salem when we think
of family movies that live and breathe
the essence of Halloween hocus pocus is
one that immediately comes to mind with
witches zombies candy graveyards
candlesticks and spell books all over
the place every inch of the film simply
screams Halloween you come on ginger
and he’s done in the book hocus pocus
stays grounded in a comedic tone however
with Bette Midler Sarah Jessica Parker
and Kathy Najimy all giving bewitching
performances
which is working
although the absolute scariest part of
any Halloween is the prospect of still
being a virgin wait is that really in a
Disney flick my brother’s virginity lit
the black flame candle witches are back
from the dead and they’re after us
we need help number two Beetlejuice now
what do you think you think I’m
qualified while a majority of Tim
Burton’s pictures don’t necessarily take
place during Halloween almost all of
them keep the spirit of Halloween alive
what I mean is can you be scary oh can I
be scary he understands that a quality
Halloween movie shouldn’t just be spooky
but original humorous and fun to me
something odd yeah excuse me excuse me
Burton demonstrates his knack for
producing ghoulishly good times in
Beetlejuice with Michael Keaton creating
a gothic icon we’ve all come to
associate with this morbid holiday
watches what do I have to do to strike a
deal with you two huh if you want a
movie that will have you laughing until
it hurts just remember to say
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice It’s
Showtime
before we ring our top picks doorbell
here are a few honorable mentions well
if those are the teeth and that’s the
top
then that must be the uvula oh so it’s a
girl house what no it stimulates the gag
reflex everyone has a uvula
go back to your room
play with your toys and your costumes
forget about the baby
17:48 16 through 47 1950 number one The
Nightmare Before Christmas
where are we yet another film from Tim
Burton’s mind The Nightmare Before
Christmas isn’t just a phenomenal
Halloween movie geudaega this year
Christmas will be oh it’s a new modern
fairy tale that already feels like it’s
been part of our popular culture for
eons with masterful stop-motion effects
timeless songs by Danny Elfman and
vibrant direction from Henry Selick the
film creates an utterly unique universe
of its own with the wave of my hand
didn’t we’ll laced mode
I have swept the very bravest off our
feet the question is whether the
Nightmare Before Christmas is truly a
Halloween movie a Christmas movie or
equal parts both in any case it’s
nothing short of a perennial classic
