Movies

Settle in for a night of non-scary Halloween movies, or if your kids are a bit older then Halloween movies with a dash of scare to them would be fang-tastic!
Below, we have listed all of our favourite Halloween movies, some perfect for the littlest Halloween fans and others creepily cool for teens. So you know which is the perfect choice for your little monster, we’ve made sure to include the certificate of each film!
