The weeks leading up to Halloween are the perfect time to watch a freaky flick and grab some candy corn, popcorn, and a cozy blanket (to cover your eyes!). With Halloween activities “pivoting” for 2020, turning family movie night into a Halloween tradition can still add special touches to a different holiday season.
Fort Worth Moms also created an article with 11 ways to safely celebrate trick or treating and Halloween as well as curated a list of pumpkin patches, fall events, and farms and mazes.
We polled local Fort Worth moms for their favorite Halloween movies, and they delivered the spooky goods! From timeless classics to newer films, the list below is organized by the age group each mom recommended. These can be watched on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and other streaming devices.
