Halloween 2012: Best DVD Movies for Kids

Halloween 2012 is drawing near as Halloween ideas rise like mushrooms after rain. The classic movie of 1978 HALLOWEEN will re-release during the period of October 25 to 30. That would be great for many people, but not suitable for kids somehow. So below I’ll recommend some nice Halloween movies for kids.

Hocus Pocus

Released by Disney in 1993 and on DVD in 2002, Hocus Pocus is a Halloween movie (2 wins and 9 nominations awards) about a Halloween-hating teenager (Max). After 300 years, the 3 Sanderson sister witches are resurrected by Max accidently. To protect his sister, Max together with a classmate crush, a zombie, and an immortal black cat. They have to end the witches’ terror.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

“It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” was released in 1966 and on DVD in 2008. It’s a story about Peanuts gang who prepared for Halloween. They celebrate Halloween while Linus hopes that he will be visited by The Great Pumpkin, and Charlie Brown is invited to a Halloween Party as he dresses up as a ghost with more eyeholes than needed. All funs of Halloween to be found here!

Halloweentown II - Kalabar's Revenge

 
Halloweentown II - Kalabar's Revenge is the second in the Halloween series released for the Holy nights by Disney Channel Original movies in 2001, and the DVD came out in 2005. It’s about Cromwell clan and their grandma who lives in Halloween town and the son of Kalabar-Cromwell’s enemy. It begins in a mortal neighborhood Halloween party.

Besides, there are many other wonderful movies released on DVD for the holy night enjoyment such as Nicktoons - Halloween - Tales of Fright (2003), Madeline's Halloween and Other Spooky Tales, etc. Next time, I will collect some horror movies for you.

Best Halloween Movies for the Night and on DVD/BD

With the mystical Halloween drawing near, the Halloween night starts to gather increasing attention from abroad. As a day of horning the dead, mixed with excitement, horrible things may happen, among which this year's exclusive one would make it more special than ever-the cinema scare classic John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN will be put on big screen again about 35 years later for this Halloween 2012!

This nationwide release begins on October 25th and ends on October 31 night with select showings. It certainly is the widest distribution since originally shocking audiences in 1978 (older than many of us, maybe). Of course, it appears with brand new look as in HD transfer and 5.1 audio for better viewing experience.

The short entitled exclusive documentary "You can't kill the bogeyman: 35 years of Halloween" will also be included in Screen vision's current presentation.

This is absolutely breaking news for honor movie fans, and for those who never had a chance of viewing Michael Myers in theaters for its first run. Such re-release also serves as a nice kick off for its next new movie next autumn.

Participating theaters included many cities and places with more and more updated and added into the list (check it out for the latest updates). Don't know what to watch for the coming holy night? HALLOWEEN will be a killer choice I suppose.

For DVD/BD collectors (updated):
Halloween (1978): DVD released on August 14, 2007.
Halloween 2 (1981): DVD/BD released on September 18, 2001.
Halloween 3 (1982): DVD on October 7, 2003.
Halloween 4/5: BD released on August 21, 2012. Besides, you can also watch these two on Hulu online, for free. Or you would like to get Halloween movies on your portable devices like iPad for enjoyment, with some cool tool on Halloween Special Offer which will last from October 31st to November 10th.

If your town is excluded in the participating theaters, probably the DVD/BD for home theater would also be perfect for the night. Below is a tease trailer for the re-lease, let's take the adventure "in advance".(ATTENTION: if you are afraid or not suitable for this HORROR movie, do NOT click it):
