It had to happen sooner or later: Hollywood’s increasing fixation on making movies for children has finally hit the horror genre. What are they offering audiences his Halloween? Aside from a few more in the already-beaten-to-death “found footage” genre, it’s all for the kids: Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie, ParaNorman. Fun for all ages? Sure. Scary?
