Top 5 Non Scary Halloween Movies for Kids

#5. Casper

A friendly ghost falls for the daughter of a paranormal therapist and tries to figure out a way to take her to the school's Halloween dance.

Released: 1995
Starring: Christina Ricci, Bill Pullman, Eric Idle

Most people know Casper the Friendly Ghost, but they haven't seen this early CGI movie where Casper and his troublemaking ghost uncles interact with real people. Surprisingly, it actually looks pretty good. The story is solid, even if it is a bit weird for a cartoon ghost to pine for a real girl, and it's pretty funny, too (the girl's father refers to the ghosts as "the living impaired"). There's adventure and ghosts and mystery and even death, but none of it is actually scary, so it's perfect for kids.

#4. Halloweentown

On Halloween, a trio of kids follow their grandmother into the magical land of Halloweentown to learn witchcraft and help defeat a demon who is making people disappear.

Released: 1998
Starring: Kimberly J. Brown, Joey Zimmerman, Debbie Reynolds

This is a Disney movie, so it's about as non-threatening as you can get and still be a Halloween movie. It hits all the usual Disney points - a harried mom, grown-ups underestimating children, kids saving the day - but with a Halloween flavor, so kids will love it. It's cutesy and it was originally a TV movie, so the special effects aren't exactly stunning, but it was popular enough to spawn three sequels: Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge, Halloweentown High, and Return to Halloweentown.

#3. Spaced Invaders

A little girl is the only one who believe a gaggle of moronic aliens when they arrive on Halloween wanting to take over the Earth - everyone else thinks they're kids in Halloween costumes.

Released: 1990
Starring: Ariana Richards, Douglas Barr

Spaced Invaders is a rare breed among Halloween movies in that it belongs in the science fiction genre rather than the fantasy genre. The aliens are tiny and silly and the whole movie has a goofy air about it, but it's actually funny as opposed to eye-rollingly lame. The many callbacks to staples of the sci-fi genre, from War of the Worlds to Star Trek, speak to the writer's intelligence, and the little girl in this movie has the best Alien inspired costume I've ever seen.

#2. The Addams Family

Unscrupulous accountants deliver a fake long-lost uncle to an eccentrically morbid family in order to trick them out of their enormous fortune.

Released: 1991
Starring: Raul Julia, Angelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci

The Addamses are quite possibly the world's weirdest family. They live in an enormous, creepy old mansion where dad Gomez enjoys crashing toy trains, mom Morticia cuts the heads off roses, and children Wednesday and Pugsley play with an electric chair. Yet their ghoulish exploits are funny rather than scary and they're a happy, functional family in their own special way. The Addams Family is well written and adventurous and it ends with a rather unusual Halloween party. It has a direct sequel called The Addams Family Values.

#1. Hocus Pocus

A teenage boy who doesn't believe in magic accidentally unleashes a trio of evil witches on Halloween and must team up with a girl from school and a boy-turned-cat to defeat them before they prey on his little sister.

Released: 1993
Starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, Omri Katz

Usually when you put witches, magic, death, and Halloween together, you get a horror movie, but not when you give it to Kenny Ortega (the director of High School Musical). Instead, you get a funny story about 300 year old witches who want to eat kids trying to deal with modern day things like cars and vacuum cleaners and eventually getting beaten by bullied kids who need to learn to appreciate their little sisters more. It's a fun movie full of big names (the witches are played by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy) that's developed quite a cult following among both kids and adults.

Alien Outfits - Try a Very Different Halloween Costume This Year

If you choose alien outfits for your Halloween costume this year, you have picked a costume which is very different from the run of the mill costumes worn by so many people. Every Halloween, without exception, there are such a number of ghost, spook, vampire and witch costumes, to be seen everywhere, that they become rather mundane. Someone who wants to be very different in appearance must choose something different from these all too common ideas. A very different looking alien outfit is the answer to this problem.

Aliens are of course strange beings who have originated from distant planets far out in the vastness of space. Here on our planet there are many instances of alien beings who have landed on earth and been seen and recorded by someone. Unfortunately this has never really been proven to be true, and there is a total lack of solid undeniable evidence of these alien landings. We do of course have a variety of descriptions of these space creatures. Quite a variety of movies and TV shows have been produced around stories of spacemen landing on this planet, and of their subsequent evil intent toward human beings.

There is no doubt that aliens bring up fear of the unknown for the majority of us. It is quite easy to visualize them as hostile entities whose purpose in being here is to colonise our planet, and to subjugate us to their will. These alien beings have travelled for light years through the great emptiness of space, which means that they are far more advanced technologically than we human beings are, and will certainly possess fantastic weapons which must be capable of destroying anything on earth.

All kinds of alien Halloween costumes can be purchased online in a variety of different forms. Some unremarkable outfits are based on the conventional alien costume ideas and some which we really like are completely different, and very much away from the ordinary. The best alien outfits are very scary looking costumes, some of which are just right for Halloween wear or for other costume parties.

The movie "Alien",which was first screened in the year 1979, has now claimed near classic status in its genre and this great movie is certainly worth your time if only to see some great alien costume ideas. A rather later movie "Aliens Vs. Predator" is definitely also a perfect source for alien outfits, and is a very entertaining movie.
