Ghostbusters - The ultimate classic ghost hunting movie. If you haven't seen this before, you must be living in a cave somewhere.

Beetlejuice - This movie follows the life and quick death of two country life folks who soon find out how difficult death and haunting can be.

The Nightmare Before Christmas - Dreary cartoon about a few residents in Halloweentown who are not content with having just on day of celebration. Definately a great show, but can be somewhat gloomy if you are looking for more of a happy cheery kid film.
Not-to-Scary Films
Rocky Horror Picture Show - If a musical sci-fi satire about an alien transvestite named Frank-n-Furter, who is building the perfect man while playing sexual games with his virginal visitors. This movie is not scary, but is too sexual in nature for children.
The Mummy - An action packed adventure about an Indiana Jones type crusader helping folks locate lost egytpion tombs.
Silver Bullet - Great movie about a small town being terrorized by a werewolf. The movie stars Corey Heim and Gary Busey as they try to find and kill the werewolf!
Horror Films
Scream - One of the most popular of the teen slasher flicks of the 90's. Neve Campbell stars as a girl being terrorized by a serial killer who likes to harrass her via telephone. Also Get Scream 2 and 3 to go along with it.
I Know What You Did Last Summer - Another 90's teen slasher flick, this time set in a New England fisherman's town. After accidentally running over someone with their car, a group of teens become targets for revenge. Stars Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Geller and a cast of other teen icons. Sequel with Hewitt and singer Brandi is a worthy effort, but not as good as the first.

Nightmare on Elm Stree - The striped sweater wearing killer Freddie Krueger is out to get revenge on the decendants of those who live on Elm Street. Sweet Dreams...
Friday the 13th - Crystal Lake just hasn't been much fun since Jason drowned while at camp. Watch all the camp counselors drop like flies as the sequels tally up a nice bodycount.
