In the weeks leading up to the holidays, we love to gather around the TV and watch our favorite movies. It’s such a fun family tradition that we each look forward to.Today we want to share some of our favorite Halloween movies that we like watching with the kids. We’ve paired each movie with a fun treat that the whole family can help make… maybe you’ll have your own Halloween Movie Night(s) this year!!

We were so excited when Hotel Transylvania came out. How fun would it be to make up a batch of Nutter Butter Bats to enjoy while watching it!
• • •
ParaNorman would be great served with a side of Zombie Eyeballs!!
• • •
How about serving Pumpkin Pizzas on the night It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is on TV!

• • •
A batch of Monster Munch would be perfect to snack on during a viewing of Monster House!
• • •
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a must. The kids would absolutely love these Jack Skellington Cookie Pops!
• • •
Of course, while watching E.T. you’ll need some Reese’s Pieces Puppy Chow… yum!
• • •
Black & White Rice Krispie Treats seem appropriate for the Black & White movie Frankenweenie!

and if you really want to freak your kids out… show them the scariest Disney movie ever made, The Watcher in the Woods
Which one is your favorite?? Leave it in the comments…

Great ideas! My fave Halloween movies are probably Hocus Pocus and It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. My kids also love the Halloweentown movies on Disney, as well as Twitches. So many fun Halloween movies for families to combat the gross slasher/killer/creepy movies!
We have not seen any of the Halloweentown movies or Twitches. We'll have to see if we can find them on Netflix. 🙂
Harry Potter! 🙂 Watcher in the Woods pretty much ruined my childhood it scared me so bad!
Watcher in the Woods is crazy scary… I only saw it for the first time a couple years ago. I can't imagine watching it as a child. haha. 🙂
If you're looking for a new Halloween favorite for your kids, you have to watch The Monster Squad. It's a cult classic from the 80's and it's awesome. Sort of like the Goonies, but with monsters. I'm 33 and still have to watch it every year at Halloween!
We LOVE Goonies, we'll have to find Moster Squad and give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation!! 🙂
OMG – Watcher in the Woods totally freaked me out when I was a kid!
so scary right!?! 🙂
oh yeah watcher in the woods. was my favorite as a teenager. I have not see that in ages. wow. cool treats.
A few titles I am not familiar with. I like cult classics – Dracula and Frankenstein done in B/W or even as silent films. Of course every year we do have to enjoy the Great Pumpkin!
I had to google cult classics since it was mentioned twice in the comments. I had no clue. haha.
What a fun post idea!!! I love it!! We adore Charlie Brown and Nightmare Before Christmas. I haven't watched Hocus Pocus in years, but I love that idea! Will have to go back and watch it! I hope I don't seem like a spammer, but on IG I mentioned my caramel apples and you seemed interested, so here they are if you want to see them. Feel free to delete this comment if I seem tacky and spammy sharing it here. 😉 http://www.bombshellbling.com/jack-skellington-caramel-apples/

Sarah your caramel apples are too cute! and I loved all the fun Disney pictures!! One of the best times of the year to visit Disneyland. 🙂
I love "Watcher in the Woods"! We also like to include Disney's Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman. The cartoon is just enough scary for all my kids. 🙂
I love your list! My husband says "that's the best disney movie" and apparently there's an alternate ending that's even weirder
An alternate ending?!? Where can I find it because the other ending was pretty darn weird. haha!!
LOVE THIS! We are sharing!!
Loved this idea, but would have loved it even more if you had linked the photos to the blogs so that we could get the recipes and instructions for these fun Halloween foods.

This is awesome. I am going to put a Halloween movie day this weekend or next. I can't wait. =]
I know someone already mentioned the Halloweentown movies, but that's what my family is watching after dinner at the moment. We've already watched The Little Vampire and Hocus Pocus follows the Halloweentown movies to finish our Halloween tradition.
Thank you for featuring my Nutter Butter Bats! I love Hocus Pocus … need to see Hotel Transylvania 🙂
I've love the Charlie Brown Halloween since I was a kid… and I might be able to get my extra picky 8 year old to eat the pizzas. 🙂
What great pairings! Thanks for all the suggestions.
Ernest Scared Stupid is one of my go-to Halloween family favorites. Also, Roald Dahl's The Witches starring Angelica Houston. Very creepy!
Frankenweenie and Nightmare Before Christmas……I love Tim Burton this time of year.
Witches!!!! AND Teen Witch!
Have you ever seen Lady in White? So scary! I also have a love/hate relationship with the super old movie The Changeling. Yikes!!!

My all time favorite is -It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown. Close second is Hocus Pocus.It won't be Halloween without Casper the friendly ghost.
