Halloween is nearly upon us, and Disney+ has plenty of family-friendly movies to celebrate with for those who want to see ghosts, monsters and witches without being scared out of their skin.
Halloween is by and large seen as a time for kids, and yet most horror movies are full of blood, guts and other adult content. Luckily, however, Disney+ U.S. has plenty of movies that are spooky rather than scary ready for families (and anyone who wants to get into the Halloween spirit without being terrified) to watch this October. From established classics like Hocus Pocus to weirdo oddities like Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire, here are some great Halloween pics who kids and the horror-verse. Frankenweenie Tim Burton is the confirmed king of Halloween, with his movies like Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and The Corpse Bride high on many viewers’ October rotation. Disney+ offers one of his more recent spookier selections, Frankenweenie. A remake of his own 1984 short film, the movie is a fun Frankenstein parody that sees a boy bring his dead dog back to life. Halloweentown If you were a child any time in the ’90s, you have seen Halloweentown on heavy rotation. For a Disney Channel Original Movie from that decade, it has some high-wattage talent working on it, with Return of the Jedi editor Duwayne Dunham directing and screen icon Debbie Reynolds playing a grandma with a secret witchy secret.
