12 Family-Friendly Horror Movies To Watch With Your Family This Scary Season

I'm a die-hard fan of Laika, a company that constantly produces amazing movies but is constantly overwhelmed by everything Disney and DreamWorks produced in the same year. While their debut film "Coraline" is an undoubted masterpiece, it's their second film, "ParaNorman", that is essential in this spooky season. The brilliant stop-motion animated mobie about a young boy who can see ghosts strikes the perfect balance between fun and scares, and is exactly the type of movie that could turn a budding movie buff into a lifelong horror fanatic.

"ParaNorman" is about facing your fears and doing the right thing even when others are too scared to stand by your side, a very important message to pass on to young people. Not only is it an absolutely delightful adventure about ghosts, witches, and zombies, but it's also a great way to inspire conversations about the sins of the past, colonialism, and restorative forgiveness. The messages in this film are timeless and can be enjoyed by all, especially adults who probably need to be reminded once in a while that it's okay to be scared, but it's not okay to be afraid. stifle the bravery of others because it makes us feel uncomfortable.< /p>
