The big night is almost here! Put the finishing touches on those costumes, then round up the family and head to these spooky screenings of Halloween movies for kids at nearby theaters. If your youngsters can handle some chills and thrills, catch animated takes on five of Edgar Allan Poe's stories in Extraordinary Tales, or celebrate Halloween with the little ones while watching themed episodes of kids' shows like Sesame Street and Dora the Explorer. Tuck them in with our favorite Halloween books for kids and they'll be ready for Saturday's festivities!
