Halloween Movies

Since Halloween falls on a Friday this year, I thought I'd be fun to have an all day Halloween movie marathon to help get my daughter psyched up for trick-or-treating later that night. So I stared going through the TV lineup between now and Friday morning looking for Halloween movies to TiVo, and trying to figure out which ones I wanna go rent from RedBox. I compiled a loooooong list of Halloween movies... And thought I'd be a good idea to categorize them in the following age appropriate groups. Now mind you, these are nothing more then my own personal opinion and in no way do they reflect any federally mandated rating system.
