To help em become good little "weener's"

Monster House
Corpse Bride
Nightmare Before Christmas

I'm going to fall back on a classic and say that if every kid started out with the same movie I grew up watching that likely turned me into a Halloween freak, then start with:

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

and also
Garfield in Disguise (Although the this one didn't get nearly as much airtime.)

If you're going for something a little less directly Halloween oriented:

Little Monsters

Enjoy!

[Zombie Pumpkins!]

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Monsters Inc.
The Haunted Mansion
Casper
Hocus Pocus

And how about the upcoming, Igor.

monsters inc, yup forgot that one (we have about a dozen of the collectors discs as its such a favourite)

whats e.t. to do with halloween though? (never seen it)


,,,And as for that very young fred savage...yoiks!

[jen d.]

And how about the upcoming, Igor.

How -about- the upcoming Igor. Anyone else notice that it reeks suspiciously of a spinoff (I hesitate to say ripoff because I'm not sure if anyone affiliated with the art direction in the Nightmare Before Christmas is also involved with this project) ?

Sorry Gus, I don't intend to hijack your thread but that one really grinds my gears.

Halloweentown

[Crystal]

Hocus Pocus !!!! I love that one its really safe for little ones.

The Rosanne halloween specials

[matspud]

The Halloween Tree

[Tkaraoke]

I just went through this thread and I can't believe nobody has mentioned one of the best animated tales out there.

Disney's The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow

That one always scared the hell out of me (in a good way) during Halloween. The image of the pumpkin coming down the covered bridge always made me close my eyes.

Its not really a movie as such but I really like Pumpkin Moon a 30 min animation from the makers of The Snowman. It follows the story of the friendship between a little black cat and an abandoned pumpkin called Zombie (Zombie Pumpkin), and the adventure they take on Halloween night. They fight the evil witches who go around blowing out the candles of the pumpkins, which kills them
It really gets me in the mood for Halloween

Here is the main song from it:

There is no dialogue in the animation but that shouldn't stop youngsters from enjoying it, trouble is it's quite tricky to track down now
