3 More of the Best Halloween Movies for Families

Scary movie picks from critic Richard Crouse

Yesterday we gave you our list of the 7 best Halloween movies for families, rated for scariness by our in-house film critic, 5-year-old Sam.  A number of you sounded off in the comments to let us know we had left a few choice movies off our list. And now we have esteemed film critic Richard Crouse weighing in.

Richard Crouse’s 3 favourite Halloween movies

1. It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

“This is a family classic, a story that hasn’t aged at all since it was first seen on television in 1966.”

2. Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

“Funny and colourful, this is one asks the question, Who will protect the enormous vegetables from the gigantic Were-Rabbit during Lady Tottington’s family’s 517th annual Giant Vegetable Fete? Wallace and Gromit is the delightful answer.”

3. Any of the Abbott and Costello Meet… movies
“These are great family movies with a mix of (mild) horror and (silly) humour. My pick would be Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man, which features not only the comics but the voice of Vincent Price.”

Do you agree with Richard’s choices? Let us know in the comments!
