I’m a scaredy-cat when it comes to scary movies… so I’m quite picky about my Halloween choices. I also have a 7-year-old at home, which makes it even more important that I not scare the bejesus out of him. I still remember when my parents let me watch Nightmare on Elm Street at my uncle’s house when I was just about my son’s age. I couldn’t walk the dog alone again for YEARS because I was terrified of the dark!

Here are my 5 favorite kid-approved Halloween movies for the season.
