The Witches: Halloween activity sheets to download now
To trick or not to treat? That is the question. In the UK, people are suggesting taking children around the locality and giving them sweets for every pumpkin they see. (No one so far has suggested telling their kids the pumpkins are what they’ll turn into at midnight if they knock on people’s doors, but… The Witches: Halloween activity sheets to download now Read More
Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (kids’ review!) 4.5 stars
Goosebumps 2 is just the right length, as I wasn’t bored at all during it. My favourite character is Mr Chu who lives next door to the children in the film, because he’s cheerful and likes Halloween as much as me. I really like the film especially the start.

I LITERALLY jumped up from my seat at the babysitter-closet scene in this trailer, and as I’m an editor you can be sure I will always use… Halloween Trailer: 40 Years On – Do You Still Believe In The Bogeyman?

Hotel Transylvania 3.5 stars
Let’s face it, really all a top notch kids’ movie needs is at least one excellent fart joke, a running time of around 90 minutes and a story where good triumphs over evil. But mainly, an excellent fart joke. Actually I’d happily take these criteria for any movie, whichever age group it’s aimed at. But Hotel Transylvania – the animated… Hotel Transylvania Read More
