Spooky season is here! One of the reasons the month of October is so beloved is because of all the amazing shows and movies you get to watch curled up on the couch with warm apple cider and pumpkin bread. Go grab your coziest blanket and cue up Netflix because we have the most popular scary movies for kids, as well as spooky series, in your state (and every other state!) for you to watch ASAP.
Frontier figured out which scary movie for kids is the most searched in every state. Frontier tracked Google search data from the past year on children’s Halloween movies rated PG or below and selected the top 18. After that, Frontier ran the search volume of these 18 movies in every state and reported only the movie with the highest volume. While these movies might be "for kids" we all know you love watching Hocus Pocus, Coco, and The Nightmare Before Christmas just as much as your kids.
