YAY it's October! That means sweaters, boots, all things pumpkin, and HALLOWEEN! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Before I had kiddos, I loved dressing up, going to themed parties, and even catching the Rocky Horror Picture Show live on stage in Atlanta. Those days are long behind me and now we have more kid-friendly festivities. And I'm TOTALLY okay with that!


Besides dressing the kiddos up in their super cute costumes, we love to go to our local pumpkin patch, enjoy some hayrides, carving pumpkins, indulge in too much candy, and watch Netflix for all of our spooky (the kid friendly way) streaming.

Here's some of our favorites:

Room on the Broom - To the annoyance of her cat a kindly witch allows a dog, a bird and a frog who have helped her retrieve things she has lost to ride on her broomstick, making it top heavy. The broom is destroyed by a fire-breathing dragon who threatens to eat the witch but the creatures band together to impersonate a monster and save her. As a result she fashions a luxurious new broom with seats on which they can all ride comfortably.

DreamWorks Spooky Stories and Volume 2 - In these spooktacular stories, your favorite DreamWorks characters from the blockbuster hits Shrek and Monsters vs. Aliens return in these chilling tales for the whole family.

Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein - While the Chipmunks are working at the amusement park, Majestic Movie Studios, in a singing attraction. Little do they know that the real Dr. Frankenstein are in a new attraction called, "Frankenstein's Castle". After Alvin drives a crazy bus ride, they miss their next performance and get locked in the park after closing time. Dr. Frankenstein figures that the castle isn't scary enough and re-creates the real Frankenstein and after the monster finds the boys, it starts a wild and wacky adventure!

Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet the Wolfman - It's the Chipmunks' third and final full-length feature! Alvin is struggling with nightmares of werewolves. Alvin believes that the new next-door neighbor Mr. Talbot is a werewolf. Of course, no one believes him. Meanwhile, the boys are working on the school production of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. When Alvin blows up the school auditorium, he is expelled from the production. Theodore is put in to rise his lack of confidence. Alvin and Simon are trying to discover the secret of Mr. Talbot. Will the play go as planned or will the Chipmunks mess it up?! And is Mr. Talbot a werewolf?

Whether you’re in need of costume inspiration or delightfully frightful titles to add to your watch list, there’s something to sink your teeth into each day this October.

So how will your family be gearing up for Halloween?
