Here are the following top 5 fall movies, as told by Dublin High School students, that are both family-friendly and fun to watch this fall season. 

The Nightmare Before Christmas

It is no surprise that one of the most popular Halloween movies to watch is The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Coraline

Coraline is considered by many high school students to be the scariest kids’ Halloween movie they had watched in their childhood.

These witches devise a plan to give themselves immortality and it is up to Max and Deni to fix the problem they started. 

Corpse Bride

Corpse Bride is a love story created by the well-known filmmaker, Tim Burton. As Victor is arranged to marry Victoria, he goes to the woods to practice his wedding vows. However, when he gets his vows right, a dead bride, Emily, buried in those woods rises from the dead since she believes that they are now married. Victor is then pulled into the Land of the Dead and has to choose between marrying Emily or Victoria.
