A killer spider catches a lift to a small American town, where it breeds and starts to take over.
This is the kind of movie that makes you think every itch is a spider. Not for those terrified of spiders, but not too scary either. This is another light monster movie that is a bit more realistic (normal size spiders). It has a great story and is lots of fun. (Beware if you get nightmares easily, this may affect children as well)
This a fun movie, as the good guys win and its not really dark and spooky, but a bit more light.

Not the TV series, but the movie that came some years before.
A fairly light hearted vampire movie, with lots of jokes and one liners.
Not for kids, but teenagers and adults who appreciate a light thriller should appreciate it. It’s more tongue in cheek comedy than horror or scary.

Fun story, fun characters, great one liners.
Fun for kids and adults.
One of the best comedies of the 80’s
Ghost Busters 1 is the best, but number 2 is still very fun.

Cute furry creatures that turn into ugly green monsters if they eat after midnight.
Lots of fun, was a great movie for generating toy sales.
This will entertain the children (not too young though), young teenagers, and adults who appreciate a bit of silly fun.

Not a horror movie, but still jumpy at times. Most scenes are in daylight, so it feels fun.

The Mummy Returns (The Mummy 2) is nearly as fun as the first movie in the series.
It is more of the same, but if you enjoyed The Mummy, you will probably enjoy this one too.
Big budget and lots of special effects.

The third in the Mummy series features more special effects, jokes, and fun.
However most people seem to agree that it was not as good as the first two.
If you liked the first two in the Mummy series then this is still entertaining, but don’t expect the great balance that particularly the first movie had.

Neighbors in a small town must work together to defend themselves from giant underground monsters.
Not a scream fest, just a little jumpy, but not spooky at all.
Fun and adventure with people escaping from giant worms. The first is the best, but if you enjoy that, the following ones are also satisfying.
