Halloween films for kids: From giggles to goosebumps

Witches on broomsticks, mischievous monsters, haunted houses and things that go bump in the night. Halloween is almost here, and there's no better excuse to curl up on the couch with a spooky movie.

But how spooky is too spooky? While some children love a good fright, others prefer their ghosts friendly and their monsters funny.

From magical adventures for little ones to creepy classics for older children, we’ve rounded up some Halloween favourites for different ages, along with where you can stream them in Ireland.

So grab the popcorn, dim the lights and prepare for a little Halloween fun.

There’s always room for one more on this witch’s broomstick.

Based on the much-loved children’s book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, this charming animated short follows a friendly witch and her cat as they make some unexpected friends on their travels.
