Every year as Halloween gets closer, basic cable and the DVD racks at big box stores are flooded with Halloween programming for kids—Disneyfied TV movies and animated specials featuring all their favorite characters in costume. But are these cash-ins any good? If you’re trying to foster a love of horror in your little ones—or just looking for something age-appropriate to show them during October—navigating the seas of “kid-friendly” content can be irritating at best, downright impossible at worst.
Because I both love horror movies and have small children, I have my own picks for what I’ll be showing my kids until they’re of an age for… oh, I don’t know… Cannibal Holocaust. All these choices are subjective and entirely dependent on what different kids can handle.

Jim Davis, the creator of "Garfield," recently gave an interview to the Huffington Post in tandem with the release of the new "Garfield" holiday DVD collection. This got me thinking: Are we forgetting to appreciate some of Garfield's strange past? Though Garfield hit newspapers in 1978, he's taken something of a flogging on social media in recent years.
