^^^I chalk it up to early installment weirdness.
This was the first Scooby Doo movie to take a spookier/more modern/serious turn, using actual supernatural elements, trying out different character dynamics, playing on all the past incarnations of the show etc.

The whole thing peaked 10 years later w. Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated.

Actually, go with the Scooby Doo one.

It does have zombie head off while growling though, maybe too much? Otherwise a good clean show.

Good ideas. My kids have never seen any Scooby Doo before. But yeah, I may try it. You're talking about the live action ones, I assume?

Another idea for the kids:

You get The Simpson's On Demand? Maybe try counting down the Halloween Specials (Or up)?

Anyways back to the topic:


I forgot an obvious one. Castlevania!


But only the first two seasons, it just wasn't the same after Dracula was out. Even if it was kind of hot how the diplomatic vampire gets herself a boy toy.

Not really Halloween, But I recently watched a movie called, Luck that was animated and really good.

Man, definitely as good as I remembered it.


So many questions about Scooby Doo. Like how guys in a mask manage to rip apart a thick wooden door in spite of no apparent animatronics, or why leeching life force makes someone able to survive under water or with your head ripped off. laughing out loud

cdtm
How could I forget Spirited Away?


Awesome, awesome movie. Kiki's Delivery Service is another decent one for the theme, but nowhere near as good imo.

Monster High. 4/10

Made for TV movie. It was a cute musical film. Perfect for kids and tweens.

Heavy Metal!

Gremlins probably fits, even if it happens in universe during Christmas.

Watched Hocus Pocus with the family. Kids loved it, keep asking to watch it again and again. It was good, fun piece of 90s nostalgia.

Frankenweenie (2012)

Just watched it with the family, too. It was good. Although I think philosophically the dog should have stayed dead at the end but I bet the studio forced it.
