Kid friendly Halloween films that adults can tolerate?

[Luke]

pretty good list Luke. Frankenweinie rules. Teen Witch, too. Beetlejuice has an F-bomb. Gremlins I consider Xmas.

Beetlejuice has an F-Bomb? I remember "Merry *honk honk* Christmas" or something close to that, but never an audible "f word". But hey, either way thanks, as I'll watch it tonight!
-----boy, I always had an age appropriate crush on Winona (and Portman, and Ricci).---


I remember re-watching POLTERGEIST years ago and forgetting that the parents were, or were implied to be high during most of the movie. No wonder they were paranoid and seeing creepy shit all the time.

it's actually "Nice fucking model" and then the *honk honk* is him grabbing his junk.

YEAH! Kind of hard to forget that part now. I'm literally laughing in my office thinking about the *honk honk* part. If memory serves, that's right around the same point where Keaton gets a little, what's the word I'm looking for? Truth be told, even as a kid I thought the ghoulish hookers were super attractive.

FRANKENWEINER

It's "Frankenweenie."

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

Not a good kids movie. The jokes aren't slapsticky, and there's a lot of sexual humor.

GREMLINS

GREMLINS 2

Those are Christmas movies.

Um, you are wrong. Kids don't get sexual humor unless you point it out, and I've loved Young Frankenstein since I was a young lad.

Gremlins 2 doesn't even take place during Christmas, and that fact aside, having a movie take place during X-mas doesn't make it a X-mas movie (this topic has it's own thread).

But you got me on Frankenweenie.

My thoughts exactly, along with Corpse Bride and Coraline.
While we're talking about Tim Burton movies, I watched Beatlejuice as a kid, and the swearing / raunchy humor never bothered me.

Come to think of it, a lot of eighties kids movies had swearing. There's tons of swearing in Goonies. There's swearing in Monster squad. I seem to remember that Elliot called his brother "Penis breath" in E.T. None of that ever bother me when I was a kid. It was just normal movie stuff for the eighties.

That reminds me, E.T. takes place around Halloween time. I think the final act of the movie is on Halloween night.

here some more movies for kids:

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Any Scooby Doo movies

Monster Inc.

and



no foul language at all (from what i remember).

[Luke]

There's swearing in Monster squad.

"All your sister does is sit around and let guys touch her tits"

That line is gold.

TEEN WITCH

All you need to know about Teen Witch is right here:


Honestly, I can't top that. In fact, I don't even want to try.

[Luke]

All you need to know about Teen Witch...

Stop that.

No seriously. We both have linked to that clip almost too many times.

.....aw shit. Go ahead and top that. Kids should not be deprived of top that no matter what.

Not a Halloween movie, but as far as cute to creepy goes you can't beat Labyrinth. Boy did I ever have the crush on Connely. Still do actually.
