13 Family Films That Will Terrify Children
7. Monster House
Scariest Moment: The House is getting hungry and finally decides to try and eat the kids inside it- "killer slinkies!"
An animation co-written by Community and Ricky & Morty's Dan Harmon, it's a hilarious film with some really twisted moments- a very different kind of family film, that in true Dan Harmon fashion barely qualifies as a family film.
Acting on a universal fear of the creepy house in the neighbourhood with all sorts of rumours floating around those who live inside, Monster House is a fresh take on a familiar story that goes to places you wouldn't expect from a film that will appeal to fans of The Goonies and Stranger Things.
This is a sophisticated, complex film that is a step up from some of the other entries on this list. If you fancy showing the family a film with realistic characters and a real emotional intelligence, this is a real standout.
