Nightmare before Christmas is definitely a Christmas movie. I have tried it on both holidays, and it just doesn't do it for me on Halloween. One of my favorite Christmas ones though.

My wife wanted to show that and I told her the same thing.  It's an Xmas movie.

One of the reasons I am so conservative with the movies my kids watch is because my father used premium cable as a babysitter for my stepbrother and I from the first days of cable.  We saw so much crap we never should have seen.  The scariest of horror movies, any violence you could think of, pr0n, it was all there and we stayed up all night every weekend taking it all in.  That's an entirely different conversation, though.

There's no way I would show Poltergeist to kids.  It would be a great pick for adults, though.  Love that movie.

Ginsu Victim:
Look for my other suggestion Invaders from Mars (the Tobe Hooper remake). Kids love that (as do adults).

Also, Monster Squad is like $7.50 at Walmart, and that's written by Shane Black! Great movie.

SithMaster:
How about The Gate?

What about Scooby Doo Meets the Boo Brothers, Nightmare before christmas, the Dark Crystal, Evil Dead 2, Shaun of the Dead (though this one might lead to misinformation concerning zombie outbreaks), or Beetlejuice.

Wait a movie about Halloween town taking Christmas from santa is not related to Halloween how exactly?

shardian:
Beetlejuice is not a kids movie...unless you have an edited for tv version.
