Not Really Scary Movies For Halloween

In advance of Halloween, I know that a few of you are looking for a good scary movie that's not quite so scary so I thought I would give you a few to consider.  These recommendations are all based on pages that I have written on other blogs and websites. By following any of the underlined links, you will be able to read more about each of the movies.

Starting with scary movies for tweens, you might want to consider my list, Not Too Scary Movies For Tweens or Pre-Teens on Halloween on which you will find six movies that are appropriate for tweens.

On that list, you will find one of the best best Blu-ray movies of 2009, the 3D stop motion movie, which is suitably eerie,  Coraline.

You might also check out Under Wraps, a lesser-known cult-favorite Disney movie. If you don't enjoy watching dated footage, you will not want to watch this one but if you can put those concerns aside, you might have fun with this movie.

Audrey Hepburn's Wait Until Dark is an excellent choice for those of us who like psychological thrillers. This is one to watch with the lights out, exactly as they did when this Audrey Hepburn movie first aired in the movie theatres in the 1960s.

Then there is Oliver's Ghost, a Hallmark Halloween movie. Nothing about Hallmark can be too scary, can it?

I hope you find an interesting scary movie choices for your Halloween viewing...and I'd love to hear your recommendations, particularly for scary movies that are thrillers rather than horror movies.

If You Give A... Children’s Picture Books

If You Give A... Children’s Picture Book Reviews


We have enjoyed the very popular "If You Give A..." series by Laura Numeroff.

The first one, If You Give A Cat A Cupcake, features cupcakes and boy, do I love cupcakes! The ones on the cover drew me in & the cat in this book took me on a wild and crazy adventure after he made one heck of a mess with the sprinkles!

The second book, If You Give A Pig A Pancake, features pancakes and a pig!  Just imagine what might happen if you gave a pig a pancake and some syrup and you are launched on the way for another great adventure!

All three characters (Mouse, Moose and Pig) from the bestselling If You Give . . . series are in this wonderful family treasury, Mouse Cookies & More: A Treasury. Find it by clicking here to Amazon. Inside, you will find the books, recipes, songs, and activities. It is full of fun things to do.

I love children's picture books! How about you?
