October's arrival means it's time to stock up on candy for trick-or-treaters (and yourself!), brainstorm just the right costumes to make or buy, and set out all the fun Halloween decorations, and it also means it's time to queue up all the kids Halloween movies on Netflix. Sure there are plenty of truly scary horror and Halloween movies on this other list, but these 25 movies are geared toward kids who want more silly than frightening in their Halloween season, all easy for your family to access on Netflix in 2023.
Some of the films are sure to have you laughing (and so will these funny scary movies!). Some are animated cartoons and others live action sure to entertain 5 year olds and 10 year olds alike. Scroll through and watch some trailers to see which tale might intrigue your family most, and get ready to pop some popcorn (and maybe add some candy corn too) and find a cozy blanket before you hit play. Better yet, select several titles and start a Halloween movie marathon, over one night or several, to travel to spooky adventures in Salem, inside Hotel Transylvania, and beyond with witches, vampires, monsters, and extraterrestrials.
