Our 2nd “Countdown to Halloween – Frightfully Fun Family Movie Night” presents “The Witches”! Our treat is these cute little witch hats made out of cookies and bugles and chocolate. So easy! I found a similar recipe here and was inspired (but used just one Oreo cookie per hat). This would also be perfect for “Hocus Pocus” which is our FAVORITE Halloween movie!!!! But we had just watched it with another treat and {sadly} I didn’t take a pic! I’m so lame!!
There are some of you wondering how on Earth I showed such a scary movie to my kids. Well, we read the book and loved it. My kids don’t scare easy and rarely have nightmares. They sleep in their own rooms, in their own beds so we just gave it a shot and they LOVED the movie! They did just fine during and after the movie and thought it was so fun and “scary” in a good way. You just need to know your kids and what they can handle. Mine ride the “Tower of Terror” at Disneyland over and over so I knew they’d be okay…ha! But the ugly witch faces when they take off their masks is gross and ugly so make sure you preview this and decide if your kids are ready for this. We recommend this flick! And Angelica Huston is perfect for this witch role!
***Note: Many moms have asked where I find all my movies. We certainly don’t own but maybe one or two. Netflix comes out with a lot of Halloween movies (yes, there are a TON) for kids and adults. We like to ask on Facebook and borrow, to save a few bucks. Amazon Prime offers many films as well. And then we love renting or purchasing on our AppleTV through iTunes. Does anyone out there have other recommendations?
