Our families love starting October off with a Halloween movie marathon but don’t love the super scary stuff. We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite not-too-spooky Halloween movies. All are rated PG and PG-13, no R’s. Some do have questionable content so we’ll also be adding the Common Sense Media rating reviews to help you decide if it’s appropriate for your family.
