Disney Family Movies is now playing: The Attack of the Indoor Halloween!

As Sandy rages through the Eastern seaboard (our thoughts go out to all our readers in Sandy’s path; please stay safe!), many families are coping with the prospect of cancelled Halloween plans and an indoor holiday.

If your family’s trapped inside it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the Disney Family Movies one month free offer— which ends Halloween night, October 31st— by watching Mickey’s House of Villains, The Fox and the Hound, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II, The Muppet Movie, and spooky fun-sized shorts such as Lonesome Ghosts and The Haunted House.

Disney Family Movies also has a witch’s cauldron of fun indoor Halloween activities that can bring the whole family together!

• Masks: Boo! Who’s hiding behind that mask? Have fun with the little ones making these popular masks, using printables and household items: Evil Queen, Winnie-the-Pooh, Beastly Bat masks— even the Hulk and Iron Man from The Avengers!

• Printables: Got a printer? You can have Halloween fun indoors by printing lots of frightfully fun Disney Halloween items, including decorations and coloring pages, from a Jack Skellington Door Hanger to a Halloween Activity Page, from a Haunted Mansion bookmark to Disney Mouse-taches!

• Cooking: Let’s bake something that will taste yummy in our tummy! From a Captain Hook cake to Jack Skellington Cupcakes, from Worm Burgers to Rotten Eggs, here are 20 recipes for dreadfully delightful baked goods, snacks and treats of the spooky variety.

• Costumes: Need a last-minute (or new) Disney costume for the kiddos? From Under the Sea to a Haunted Mansion Ghost, from Princess Jasmine to Little Simba, here 20 home-made Disney costumes for children that you can make with crafty stuff you may find around your house. (As a bonus, you can dress up with the kids too! Here are 15 home-made Disney costumes for adults.)
