Needles & Grooves

I say rip off the bandaid and give 'em Scream, New Nightmare and Hereditary

Also, Ernest Scared Stupid is a classic Halloween movie in my book. "Pucker up, boogerlips."

Hocus Pocus and Scooby Doo and the Witches Ghost were my two favorites as a kid and they both hold up

MIAK

@kvetcha gets it

also, damn, i've been quoting that boogerlips line wrong for my entire life.

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

The new animated Adams Family is great for young kids. Mine also love the Hotel Transylvania movies--all three of them. The Nightmare Before Christmas is a classic but it did scare young kids when we watched it with a group. Coroline is another that really freaked my daughter out as a small kid, but she loves it now.

The Witches is also a classic but I would wait a few years for that one too.

I second Monster House, my kids loved it at 4 years old.

I endorse Wallace and gromit (weirdly underrated for being fantastic), nightmare before Christmas (though also a Christmas movie so I Stan), and hocus Pocus is a nostalgic classic to so many people

I third Wallace & Gromit - Wererabbit. It's a super fun movie. I thought Coco was incredibly sad.

Tbh it depends on how much the kid can handle scary stuff

@duke86fan not just that, but you gotta really know what your kids fears are. Ours are almost 7 and still can’t watch Hocus Pocus but handled Prisoner of Azkaban just fine.

Def some contenders.
Yeah, kid is a little wimp (so was I, couldn't handle the Power Rangers first movie lol) and Dad might have final word on it... I just don't want to get stuck watching Toy Story for the gazillionth time...

Hotel Transylvania. Maybe Boxtrolls?

And like others have posted, Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit definitely and ParaNorman and Monster House as well.

Hausu, if you wanna get weird

Toy Story Of Terror!

Not a movie but Room On The Broom is fun!

My kids aren’t scared of shit. I was seriously considering the original Halloween movie for my 4yo and 6yo.
