2. The Haunted Mansion is also a family favorite during the fall season. The comedic film features Eddie Murphy, bringing laughter to the room while keeping its spooky touch. If you’re looking for a more twisted but still appropriate movie, this is your film.
3. You can never go wrong with Halloween classics. The Addams Family is a film that everyone is familiar with and enjoys. The different characters and personalities have kept the classic movie interesting and iconic every year.
