They claim so.

The girls decided on hocus pocus since april wants to be a witch for halloween lol

Most of the Universal classics are good for children. But I'd have to say, for kid friendly monster action, get some old school Godzilla. The newer stuff has slightly more realistic monsters and slightly darker content. The Toho master collection just put out Attack of the Monsters, a real gem known to Americans as Godzilla's Revenge that children really dig and it's about not being afraid. Though some of the jokes are slightly off color, Young Frankenstein is good. The Addams Family movies aren't too bad either.

I remember diggin' Spaced Invaders, it could be because I was 10 but I used to love that around Halloween.

we watched that not long ago ourselves - my kid liked it

I forgot about those! I haven't seen them in years. I need to rent them again.

Something kiddie that classifies as a horror. Hmm...As weird as this sounds I'd have to say "Gremlins" lol. I rememebr watching on the silver screen when I was a kid...I also remember laughing as parents rushed their kiddies out of the theatre at certain points (the Stripe death scene) for example.
