Buy 13 Ghosts

#13: 13 Ghosts

It's campy, it's classic and there's a Oujia board in it! Forget the remake, the original black and white version is a great example of 1960s "horror" movies (so far from horror, your kids will probably find it a lot of fun). MPAA Rating: Not rated
Buy Something Wicked This Way Comes

#12: Something Wicked This Way Comes

Enter the mind of Ray Bradbury and find out what happens when your deepest dreams come true — with a twist. Those who appreciate a classic Halloween story will find this film to be right up their "wicked" alley. MPAA Rating: PG
Buy Tower of Terror

#11: Tower of Terror and The Haunted Mansion

Have a spooky double feature based on theme park favorites. First, it's Halloween 1939, and five guests at the Hollywood Tower Hotel go into the elevator. Next, 999 happy haunts come to life when Eddie Murphy visits the Haunted Mansion. MPAA Rating: PG
Buy Hocus Pocus

#10: Hocus Pocus

Max, who moved with his family from California and hates Halloween and all things associated with it, frees the 17th-century Sanderson Sisters on Halloween eve. It will take all of Max's 20th-century know-how to bring down these witches. MPAA Rating: PG
Buy The Addams Family

#9: The Addams Family and Addams Family Values

Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky... it's The Addams Family. Make it a double feature and enjoy the 1991 film and its sequel. MPAA Rating: PG-13
Buy The Worst Witch

#8: The Worst Witch

If your kids always wanted to learn how to turn their friends into animals and turn themselves invisible, they'll get a kick out of "The Worst Witch," written about 25 years before that other series about a young wizard. MPAA Rating: G
Buy

#7: The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Disney classically adapts two tales, "The Wind in the Willows" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Though it earns a "G" rating, you'll find plenty of creep-tastic thrills (usually comic ones) in these animated offerings. MPAA Rating: G
Buy Ghostbusters

#6: Ghostbustsers and Ghostbusters 2

When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who ya gonna call? The Ghostbusters, of course. The entire family will love this film about four odd-ball men who don their suits to fulfill "supernatural elimination needs". MPAA Rating: PG-13
Buy Young Frankenstein

#5: Young Frankenstein

This classic Mel Brooks comedy will make you cry "It's alive! It's alive! It's alive!" with nonstop hilarious spoofs of creature features from yesteryear. MPAA Rating: PG-13
Buy Halloweentown

#4: Halloweentown and Halloweentown 2

Imagine what it would be like to find out that not only do you have magical powers, but your entire family are witches and warlocks? That's what happens to half-human, half-witch Marnie Cromwell when she's visited by her grandmother Aggie. MPAA Rating: G
Buy Beetlejuice

#3: Beetlejuice

"Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice!" Director Tim Burton's tale of a haunting-in-reverse follows a recently deceased couple who wants to spook their country home in peace and quiet until a living, breathing city family moves in. MPAA Rating: PG-13
Buy The Nightmare Before Christmas

#2: The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Corpse Bride

This fantastic Tim Burton flick follows one skinny Halloweentown skeleton, Jack Skellington, as he tries to be as loved as "Sandy Claws." Then make it a double-feature and tune into Burton's stop-motion gem The Corpse Bride. MPAA Rating: PG
Buy It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

#1: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

If you haven't watched this Halloween classic in a while, move it to the top of your Fright Night flicks list. This film follows the adventures of Linus as he sits in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive. MPAA Rating: Not rated
