Family Friendly

It’s that time of year when horror fans are in their element, but let’s be honest, scary films aren’t for everyone. For those of us who enjoy sleeping at night without the lights on, here are our top 5 family friendly Halloween picks.

Casper (1995)

You can’t get more family friendly than a mini less surly than normal Christina Ricci, and an actual self-proclaimed friendly ghost.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Classic 80’s comedy with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd et al in boiler suits battling spooks and a marshmallow man. We’ve chosen the original over the still ever so slightly terrifying sequel!

Hocus Pocus (1993)

The ultimate 90’s crowdpleaser, complete with Bett Midler, the always well dressed SJP, angsty teens and a talking cat. What more could you ask for?

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Halloween meets Christmas in this classic Tim Burton favourite, where Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington discovers Christmas.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001)

“You’re a wizard, Harry.” Need we say more?

Classics

Reach for the cushion and prepare to throw your popcorn everywhere with our top 5 classics to get your heart racing.

Scream (1996)

Celeb spotting a’plenty from Drew Barrymore to Courtney Cox in this Wes Craven tongue in cheek teen slasher that revamped the genre in the 1990’s.

Halloween (1978)

There’s nothing more Halloween appropriate than actual Halloween. Jamie Lee Curtis stars in this cult classic, trying to avoid escaped killer Michael Myers.

Evil Dead (1981)

It has to be the original for director Sam Raimi at his best. Teenagers staying in isolated cabin in the woods find a Book of the Dead. What could possibly go wrong?! (Spoiler: a lot!)
