I don't completely object to family entertainment, as the good stuff is usually fun for adults too. But there's also a big difference between the really good stuff and well, everything else. I mostly just wanted to avoid the Hocus Pocus, Hotel Transylvania, and "some random Disney channel crap from the 90s/2000s" that tend to pad out lists of non-horror Halloween movies.
My SO loves Coraline, I thought it was enjoyable enough. Although we watched it not long after watching They Live, which also has Keith David, which lead to a lot of joking about a scene mirroring the famous alley fight, but with buttons instead of sunglasses.
We watched Over the Garden Wall, liked the spooky parts, but wished the little brother would have been MIA for the entire series.
I know of Paranorman, I've had it on the list for a while, added when we felt like we were running out of options. Neither of us have seen it and we don't know much about it, so it's been a lower priority, but not ruled out.
