If they are about 10, Silver Bullet is good. My grandniece watch it with us when she was about 9 and liked it.

As stated….
Ernest scared stupid(we watch this year round)

Hubie Halloween
Hocus pocus
Nightmare before Christmas

Great pumpkin Charlie Brown

Mayyybe the 90s Addams family movies, don’t do them every year though.

Thinking about adding the monster squad(early 90s) to the yearly routine.

You can order the DVD on Amazon, and it's probably on Disney+ if you have that.

There is a 1980 T.V movie of Sleepy Hollow with Jeff Goldblum. I know it is on youtube.


1997 Under Wraps. The newer 2021 & 2022 versions on Disney are probably woke

More complete list than my few suggestions although Aliens might be too much for little kids. Addams Family or OG Munsters for really young kids.

There’s free full movies online too. I believe there’s a website that hosts old 30s and 40s films for free but I can’t recall it off the top half f my head

Yup.

Likewise 4 year old vs 10 year old = different recommendations.

And OP said 'Scary/Halloween movies'. As in, "BOO!" they jump, then laugh, or... 'Don't want them to get any sleep this week'

Age range and ballpark scare level would narrow it down.

Ichabod, what a name,
May be odd, and maybe he ain't...
