As Halloween approaches, you might be thinking about the plans you can make to celebrate the occasion especially since last year’s Halloween was different to usual.
With the celebrated day being at the end of October, we can expect the weather to be getting colder.
That’s why we’ve put together a viewing guide for some family friendly films you can enjoy with your loved ones if you decide to stay in and get cosy this Halloween.
These films are suitable for children and families to enjoy together whether that's before or after some traditional trick or treating!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
