Movies and series to scare yourself (a little) with your family on Halloween

• Children also have the right to scare each other on Halloween, and platforms have adapted their October programming, even more so than movie theaters.

• From

  The Pages of Anguish

  on Netflix to the series

  The Other Side

  on Disney +, the trend is to adapt best-selling children's literature

• Several animated series also offer their special Halloween episode

Kids love Halloween.

Dress up as vampires and witches, eat candy that sticks to your teeth ... and watch horror movies until midnight?

Maybe not not.

Films that scare the family a little in the afternoon?

Okay.

While the school holidays are starting and the offer in theaters is not really pumpkin-colored (but run to see

),

offers you a small selection of films and series, in the news and from 6-8 years old.

"The Addams Family" live or in animation

There is a special Halloween movie in theaters, the cartoon

, where Morticia and Gomez take everyone on a road trip across the United States and a vacation in the sun.

We are far from the macabre and eccentric atmosphere of the creation of Charles Addams in 1938 and we have the right to prefer the first animated film released in 2019, or the live and cult film by Barry Sonnenfled from 1991. We must anyway to revisit this classic - and revise the Mamuschka - before the series that Tim Burton is preparing on Wednesday Addams for Netflix.

"The Pages of Anguish", by the fireside or on Netflix

Do you like scary stories by the fireside?

Young Alex too.

He adores them and even writes them in secret.

Which will perhaps save his life.

Indeed, Alex is one day kidnapped and imprisoned by the wicked witch Natacha (excellent Krysten Ritter), and must write him a new story every night to stay alive.

With the help of Yasmin, friend in misfortune who is also a prisoner, he will do everything to save time and escape from the witch's strange apartment.

Adapted from a children's novel by JA White,

, available on Netflix, revisits Hansel and Gretel's tale with

, Roal Dahl and pure horror cinema.

The film can be impressive, even scary, for the youngest.

"On the other side", or the new "Goosebumps" on Disney +

Known as the “Stephen King for Children,” writer RL Stine has already seen many of his works brought to the screen, with the cult

series

in the 1990s, the eponymous film starring Jack Black in 2015, and even recently the

trilogy

on Netflix.

Another platform, Disney +, this time adapts its comic book

, an anthology of 8 short stories where aliens, ghosts, parallel dimensions are invited, and of course enough special effects and nice thrills .

"Lego Stars Wars", "Muppets"… And their special Halloween episodes

Halloween is also that time of year, along with Christmas, when kids' favorite shows release a special episode like Bird Friends

, who celebrate the Pumpkin Festival in song on Prime Video. Toukin, the shark dog, must save the candy hunt from a slimy sea monster in the

episode

on Netflix.

Disney + can count on the power of its licenses, and invites you to spend Halloween in the

, alongside Gonzo and the stars of the

.

But the most unlikely combo is… beware…

.

In this animated film, Poe and BB-8 crash land on the volcanic planet Mustafar and discover that Graballa the Hutt has purchased Darth Vader's castle to make it a luxury Sith hotel.

The atmosphere is calm.

During the visit, Vanné then tells them three supposedly scary but above all funny stories about famous villains of the saga.

Join them on the dark side of the farce.
