Frequently Asked Questions
Are these Disney+ Halloween movies too scary for young kids?
Most of the films on this list are family-friendly and lean more fun-spooky than frightening, with age guidance shown alongside each title.

Do I need a Disney+ subscription to watch these?

What’s a good age to start watching Hocus Pocus?
Hocus Pocus and Hocus Pocus 2 are both rated 12, so they’re best suited to older children and tweens rather than younger kids.
Is Coco a Halloween movie?
Coco isn’t a traditional Halloween film, but its Day of the Dead setting and themes of family and remembrance make it a lovely, gentle addition to a Halloween watchlist, especially for families wanting something with heart rather than scares.
Can I watch these movies as part of a Halloween party?
