Halloween costumes..check! Halloween decorations up...check! Now to gather up new and some family favorite Halloween DVDs as we count down to Halloween night and trick-or-treating. Next to Christmas, Halloween is my girls' next favorite holiday, partly because they like seeing how much candy they can get, but also because they love to dress up and pretend to be someone else for the night. This year the girls surprised me and decided to be witches together. Usually they never agree on things, especially clothes or costumes. But, they both saw similar witch costumes with accessories online and thought it would be fun to be witches together.
In addition to a few favorite Halloween movies that we make a point to watch every year leading up to the holiday, like the classic Charlie Brown one, we now have six new titles that have become instant hits with the girls and ones I know they will want to watch time again, thanks to the folks at NCircle Entertaintment.
A few weeks ago we were sent a sampling of some of their Halloween titles for kids to review. My girls couldn't wait to start watching them, and after we finished making decorations for inside the house and hanging up ones we bought for outside, the girls gathered blankets and nestled on the couch to watch some of the movies. And, we continued watching the following Halloween titles from NCircle Entertainment (read on to learn how you can will all six DVDs so you can enjoy with your family this Halloween), until we were all done and the girls decided which was their favorite of them all.
Here are the six Halloween DVDs we were sent from NCircle Entertainment...
"It's Halloween! Join Sid and his friends as they discover how bats catch mosquitoes, why spiders are expert engineer web builders, and how skeletons make up the foundation of our bodies. The kids dress up to celebrate Halloween at school, and Teacher Suzie leads them in a special Halloween parade song to show off their costumes! With Sid the Science Kid, Halloween can be spooky and scientific!"
"Cat In The Hat: Knows a Lot About Halloween - DVD - The Cat in the Hat takes Nick and Sally on the craziest Halloween ride filled with howlers and shockers and scary fandangle's, big laughs and music and fun from all angles!

"Twelve year old Harry has lived and breathed magic since his early childhood. The problem is that his hometown, Appletown, is not the best place for his natural talent to blossom. Although he rehearses endlessly in his parents' barn he realizes that his dream is just that a dream. One day Harry catches the glimpse of a chance: the New York mayor has announced a magic competition due to the official opening of the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, there is a slight problem with this competition, in order to try out one must be trained by a real magician. Poor Harry doesn't know a single one. Until Harry s father runs into the magician, the Great Tesla, in town and Tesla promises to see Harry. Despite the young boy s lack of knowledge Tesla spots talent, creativity and boldness in Harry. He decides to give him a chance and invites him to his own home, accompanied by his niece, Beth, and his assistant, Amrold.

"Welcome to Doozer Creek where the Doozers live! They're green. They're cute. They're three inches tall and they're full of energy, ideas, and enthusiasm! It's Spookypalooza! The time of year when all Doozers get together to spook each other. The Pod Squad makes the spookiest pumpkin ever a cool Pumpkin Doozer made by stacking three pumpkins together.

"Join Pocoyo and his friends on seven playful adventures. Whether it's playing a new game called Boo!, enjoying a monster mash party or pretending to be Godzilla & King Kong, every day is fun & engaging with Pocoyo and his friends!"
"A new spooky adventure this DVD brings, with the Cat, Nick and Sally, Fish and the Things. Meet the eeriest critters you've ever seen, arrived just in time for Halloween. There will be lots of tricks and of course, lots of treats, to share with the animal friends you will meet! There's coconut crab, spider monkeys and bats, and plenty more fun with the Cat in the Hat."
The Sid the Science Kid: Sid's Spooky Halloween also had some great teaching points including learning how baths catch mosquito's and why spiders are expert web builders. The girls were fascinated with what they learned when watching this DVD, but said because we use the Sid the Science Kid DVDs and episodes a lot for school, they couldn't include as a favorite, as I might make them watch more. :-) Ah, the fun of homeschooling.
Another surprising favorite, even though Bella said it wasn't that Halloweeny was Houdini. Last month the girls got a magic kit in the mail and had so much fun learning different magic tricks to perform for family and friends. I had mentioned to the girls how if they kept up their magician training that they could get as good as Houdini. Bella remembered this name and was excited when she saw the Houdini: How Little Harry Became the Great Houdini. This movie is only an hour in length so is perfect for kids of all ages, and just the right length to watch in one sitting. We have watched all the NCircle Entertainment DVDs I mentioned above a handful a times since receiving a few weeks ago, but the Houdini one was been on constant repeat at home and in the car with the girls. They can't get enough of little Harry and his magic tricks, and have now added magic tricks and magician costumes to their wish lists for Santa. And, Bella changed her science experiment birthday party theme to a magic show one. So, now I have 2 weeks to run around and find fun magic trick sets for the kids to do and party favors. Bella plans to have this DVD on loop in the living room for the kids to watch, and is ready to answer any Harry Houdini questions they may have. :-)
Next to the amazing content of these five Halloween DVDs, the price point -- all under $10 (with most titles only $6.99 each), is perfect for families to pick up all or most of the above and add to their family's Halloween DVD collection, or use to start one to start a new tradition of watching Halloween movies with their families.
