Halloween Entertainment Round-up!

 

I love a good Halloween special {not as much as I love a good Christmas special, but we're not quite there yet}.  When I was younger, I could watch a scary movie {or Unsolved Mysteries} in the dark, late at night, by myself...and love every second of it.  For some reason, the older I've gotten, the more of a scaredy-cat I've become ~ I haven't watched Scream in close to a decade, I haven't seen any of the Paranormal Activity flicks, and just the thought of Robert Stack's voice narrating those eerie Unsolved Mysteries sends chills up my spine.  But I still love some good, clean, family-friendly spooks ~ like the movies pictured above {well, admittedly, I haven't watched Double, Double, Toil and Trouble since the mid-90s ~ but it's still getting four- and five-star reviews on Amazon, so I guess the Olsen twins have still got it!}. I own Hocus Pocus and have watched it every single year since it came out; my heart skips a beat when any Charlie Brown seasonal special airs.  All of these DVDS, and more Halloween-y films for kids of all ages, are available on Amazon, some for only a few dollars.

If you don't feel like adding to your movie collection but still want to get into the spooky spirit of things, get ready to set your DVR.  Disney Channel's "Monstober" event has been going on all month, and includes Halloween specials of most of their hit shows and repeats from previous seasons ~ and Disney tends to air, and re-air, and re-air their shows, so catching a repeat of already-aired episodes shouldn't be a problem.  For the wee little ones,  Nick Jr's Halloween marathon starts on Monday October 24th at 9 a.m., with specials from Dora, Diego, Max & Ruby, and more.  And ABC Family's "13 Nights of Halloween" kicks off on October 19 and airs different features straight through Halloween night {see the line-up below}.

So rustle up some candy corn, fun-size chocolates, and any other ghoulish goods you can think of, and settle in for some eerie entertainment!

Boo! ;)
