Party ideas for 12 year old girl, help please

I'd be worried about seriously upsetting any of the kids. My daughter is 12 next month and hates anything scary!

'A series of unfortunate events' is quite dark and creepy but it's a kids film. 'Monster House' is also good.

I would have suggested "The Witches" (adaption of the book with Angelica Huston in it) It's creepy, but there is a sense of comeuppance in it, and I loved that!

Ooh, what about the Harry Potter films? They are definitely Hallowe'en-y and the later ones are a bit scary (but not too much). They could have a film-fest watching as many as they can before they fall asleep. Magic!

What about Roald Dahl's The Witches?

Def watch yourself first as I don't have children and so it may not be suitable, but there are the Scream films - which may be a bit too scary - but there is a comedy version called Scary Movie. I would have thought that was a 12 certificate.

yeah gotta be really careful. I was alarmed when a sleepover guest was traumatised by ET. And my own DD was traumatised by Beowulf at a younger friend's party. Tricky stuff. I like the suggestions of Monster House and Carry On

Both Scream and Scary Movie have an 18 certificate. Although Scary Movie is a comedy it's based on gross out/innuendo and very offensive at times.

As you don't know the maturity level of each individual child I would play it safe and stick with a PG certificate that has a halloween theme. I think Hocus Pocus is the best suggestion so far.

There's Hocus Pocus. Fab film, a bit scary, witch theme, quite grown up and a PG rating.

Was just going to suggest this one, I think its a great family film for Halloween
