October Horror Challenge 2018 #57: "The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About Halloween"



Continuing to check out some kids Halloween movies along with my more grownup flicks, I was excited to see that the Cat in the Hat is still popular with today's kids thanks to movies like this. The Cat in the Hat and other Dr. Seuss books and movies were some of my favorites when I was a kid, and I still read and watch them from time to time (shut up, I'm young at heart).

In this movie, the kids need the titular cat to help them find costumes to wear for Halloween. The cat suggests they visit the Ookey-magoogy closet, which has costumes for every kid. They also check out some fun things along the way, like a spooky cave and a corn maze.

Along the way they also learn some good lessons, like always ask your mom for permission before you go on an adventure, and always wear your seatbelts in the car, sometimes it'sok to be afraid, and lightening is cool and thunder can't hurt you. This would be a fun way to instill values like this in your kids' heads, along with the fun story. This movie was a lot of fun. It would be a fun way to help introduce your kids to Halloween.  Remember: you can't be brave unless you're afraid!
