October arrived on Wednesday morning, meaning it’s officially Spooky Season! You’ll see pumpkins on porches everywhere, and Spirit Halloween stores are opening in former Bed Bath & Beyond locations. Plus, the weather is (hopefully) starting to cool down. We’re entering the best time of fall, and that means our movie choices shift a bit. This is the season when horror movies are the most popular, even for families with children.
While many horror films aren’t suitable for kids, there are plenty of enjoyable options within the genre that the whole family can enjoy. It’s also a great time of year to find Halloween-themed movies and shows specifically for children, and even films that aren’t scary or Halloween-focused but still capture the seasonal spirit. If you’re searching for these types of movies to watch with younger viewers this Halloween, many of the popular streaming platforms have added new content in October that you should explore.
Here’s a complete list of Halloween, horror, and spooky movies and shows coming to streaming services in October that are suitable for families. Remember, you know your children best, so this isn’t a definitive guide to what every kid should watch. Some titles are better for older children (Ghostbusters, The Visit), while many others are appropriate for all ages.
Below, you can check out the full lineup of October’s spooky family streams!
