Every Family-Friendly Halloween Movie and TV Show Coming to Streaming in October

October 1, 2025, 11:05am

With the arrival of October on Wednesday morning, Spooky Season is officially upon us! Pumpkins are adorning front steps in every neighborhood, Spirit Halloween stores are popping up in every old Bed Bath and Beyond, and the weather is (hopefully) going to start getting cooler. We’re getting into prime fall time and with that comes a slight change in viewing habits. This is the time of year where horror movies reign supreme, even if you’re part of a family with kids.

Most horror movies may not be for children, but there are lots of great options within the genre that are more family-friendly. There are also some Halloween-themed movies and shows for kids to watch this time of year, as well as movies that aren’t really horror or Halloween-oriented, but just fit with the vibes of the season. If you’re looking for any of the above to watch with younger audiences this Halloween, a lot of the major streaming services have new October additions you’ll want to check out.

We’ve put together a list of every family friendly Halloween, horror, or otherwise spooky-adjacent movie and show hitting streaming services in the month of October. Now, you know your kids, so don’t take this as an end-all-be-all guide for exactly what each child should watch. Some are obviously more geared towards older kids (Ghostbusters, The Visit), while others are for all ages.

Below, you can check out the full lineup of October’s spooky family streams!
