The spookiest season of the year is officially upon us! As the younger ones prep for Halloween parties, draw some costume inspirations from the cute and not-so-spooky vampires of I Woke Up A Vampire and Hotel Transylvania, or perhaps seek out your inner monster with The Sea Beast. Our Halloween Collection is the perfect way to treat the family this Spooky Season.
For mums and dads, we’re also creepin’ it real this October with crime documentary The Devil on Trial, which has inspired countless horror shows and films, and The Fall of The House of Usher, a brand new spine-chilling series from master of modern horror Mike Flanagan.
The long list of Halloween traditions like parties and horrors may not be for all, especially for the little ones. But fret not! They’re still in for some fun with curious kitty Oggy Oggy from Oggy Oggy: Season 3, the fa-boo-lous princesses in Princess Power: Season 2, and the magnificent creatures of the past in Life on Our Planet.
If you’re a fan of Roald Dahl, you’re in for a treat as The Twits, an animated adaptation of the renowned author’s children book of the same name is coming to Netflix in 2025. Get a first glimpse of the animation here.
In addition, check out what’s new for preschoolers, including Hot
Wheels Let’s Race, Dee & Friends in Oz, Mighty Monsterwheelies, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Not Quite Narwhal, and many more! Find out more in the Netflix Newsroom.
In this month’s Netflix Partner Spotlight, hear from Siu Lim, Malaysian fitness maven and a mother of four, on how to maximise your family-viewing experience on Netflix!
Siu Lim
Content Creator, Malaysia
Q. Tell us about you and your family.
I’m Siu Lim and a mother to 4 amazing kids, Yusuf, Sophia, Adam, and Asiya.
Q: It’s Friday night and the kids are all ready to go. Who’s turn will it be to choose for movie night?
Our family has a routine and when it comes to spending time together, we take it very seriously. Every Friday, we have Netflix night and we make sure each week one child gets to pick a movie. Any they want! We bring out our snacks and popcorn and are sure not to fiddle with our phones.
Q. What is your favourite family-friendly title on Netflix?
Our favourite has to be comedies like our most recent watch, Spy Kids: Armageddon. A good laugh together will always keep a family smiling. An all time favourite of ours is Carmen Sandiego.
Q. How important is it for you to be able to spend quality time with your kids as much as possible? And what is the single, best advice you’ve been given?
Spending time with the family is a must and non-negotiable. Because one of the best advice I will always remember is that you’ll never regret spending quality time with the family. No money can ever buy a bond between you and the kids.
Q. If your kids are reading this 10 years from now, what advice would you give them?
One piece of advice I would give my kids is to always be sure to put your family ahead of everything as much as possible.
