5 of the Best Halloween Movies for Kids

We all love spooky stories, but they aren’t always suitable for the kids. Here is our round-up of five of the best Halloween movies for kids when the trick-or-treating is all said and done for the night.

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Best suited for children aged 4 and up, there is very little spooky Hallowe’en imagery on display. Watch the Peanuts gang dress up in costumes and enjoy some popcorn with your little gang.

Monsters, Inc.

Best suited for children aged 5 and up, this funny movie full of fake frights is one all the children will love. Younger children may be spooked, however. The story is about a two-year-old girl named Boo who falls into the monster world and frightens the living daylights out of two ogres named Mike and Sulley. Boo befriends the two monsters, who then try to save her and fight the evil company they work for.

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad

Best suited for children aged 6 and up, the small amount of villainy that this movie displays could frighten the smallest of kids. As a classic animated double-feature, the first part of this movie tells the story of the Headless Horseman, which makes it a perfect pick for a spooky Halloween night.

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland

Best suited for children aged 6 and up, this movie might make smaller children a little shaken up when some evil scenes appear. Little Nemo is not the most well-known of stories, but it is a goody. This fantasy features brilliant hand-drawn visuals and is a story of temptation, consequences and a few bad characters.

Jason and the Argonauts

Best suited for children aged 6 and up, the small amount of violence and unrealistic creatures may unnever smaller tots. However, this movie is full of fun and is a ghoulish alternative to many other kids’ Hallowe’en movies on the market.

The Golden Globes: The start of awards season

Actors, directors and all manner of crew members will be busy in the coming weeks scribbling down speeches they hope they’ll get to deliver while gratefully clutching an award of some kind.

Awards season for stars of film and TV begins in earnest in the next few weeks and first up is the 76th Golden Globe Awards. They will hand out awards across a wide range of categories, recognizing excellence film and television for the calendar year of 2018.

The first Golden Globes ceremony took place in January 1944. The awards are voted on by the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and cover films and television programmes in the US and internationally.

They are often compared to the Academy Awards, but differ greatly. Not only do they hand out awards for television, but they also have sub-categories such as musical/comedy and drama for film and TV.

However, there are similarities with the Oscars as some familiar names top the lists of multiple winners. Not surprisingly, no-one was won more acting Golden Globes for motion pictures than Meryl Streep, who has seven Globes from 29 nominations. Three-time Oscar winner Jack Nicholson is just behind Streep on the list with six acting Golden Globes and a total of 17 nominations.

In television, Alan Alda has won six Golden Globes for his MASH while Carol Burnett has five for her self-titled TV show.

British actress Helen Mirren holds the distinction of winning Golden Globe acting awards for both film and television in the same year when she won awards in 2007 for the movie The Queen and the television show Elizabeth I.
