Jordan Peele Has Another Scary Movie Coming Out This Year — and It's for Kids?!

If you're the type of person who loves the feel a shiver run down your spine, watching an all-time classic scary movie is one of the best Halloween traditions. But it's also one that can be hard to share with your family. When it comes to scary movies for kids, you want them to feel that same little rush of adrenaline you do when you're watching a movie and the characters hear a bump in the night, but you don't want to stay up all hours on nightmare duty.

No matter what your family's appetite for thrills is, these are the best Halloween movies for kids to watch in 2022. Some of them are so gentle they're toddler-friendly, with no monsters, ghosts or ghouls in sight — just an appreciation for wholesome fall fun. Others are the creepy-animated classics, Disney originals and other Halloween movies you may remember watching when you were a kid (but are now always available, thanks to streaming services like Disney+ and HBO Max). And then for the very brave, there are those movies that are for teens and tweens, which are scarier than kid-friendly films, but don't yet have the level of gore or violence you see in horror movies for adults. So this October, you can find your family's scare tolerance and put together a kid-friendly Halloween movie marathon.

Then, after you go to bed, you can check out the scariest movies on Netflix, the Child's Play movies in order, the Purge movies in order, the Conjuring movies in order, the best haunted house movies, the best witch movies or the best ghost movies and scare yourself all over again.
