Though they may cover their eyes for the scary parts, kids love watching scary movies (especially through the cracks of their fingers). And what's a Halloween without a night spent watching a good horror flick? While these films may not rise to the level of a Nightmare on Elm Street (admit it, they still creep you out), they're full of thrills and chills for younger children. Here are some tips for creating your own Fright Night Film Fest.
* Turn off all the lights, but keep a few flashlights handy in case it gets too intense.
* Try making your own gourmet popcorn. Instead of butter and salt, sprinkle seasoned or garlic salt on popcorn for a new tasty treat.
* Host a double feature of similarly themed movies. For an 80s creature fest, screen Labyrinth, two Jim Henson fantasy films with amazing puppets and mysterious environments.
