Halloween is just around the corner and Paramount Home Entertainment is ready to celebrate with a fun Double DVD Pack featuring Shrek and the characters from Monsters vs. Aliens. It sounded like a great way to enjoy a little extra Halloween fun and as big fans of the holiday, my family couldn’t wait to check it out. Here’s a brief synopsis of the DVDs:

Prepare for out-of-this-world fun with the DVD premiere of two spooky adventures from DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.: Scared Shrekless and Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space, arriving in time for Halloween in a thrill-filled Double DVD Pack. The perfect centrepiece for family Halloween party fun, the Double DVD Pack includes not only the two delightfully creepy main attractions, but also Thriller, an all-new Shrek-ed out parody of Michael Jackson’s epic music video. Dance along with your favourite Shrek characters as they get funky – and freaky – in the sensational new video. The Halloween Party Double DVD Pack also includes loads of other musical fun, video and more, making it an ideal choice for families to come together and enjoy Halloween.

We watched the two DVDs together one afternoon and I immediately fell in love with the clever parodies in Scared Shrekless. Classics like Bride of Frankenstein and The Exorcist were given fun and family-friendly twists when retold with the characters from Shrek, and the clever humour had my husband and I laughing as much as our sons! The second DVD was just as fun, though the style and plot were completely different. Zackary especially enjoyed the story of monsters battling mutant alien pumpkins. I liked the fact that both of the DVDs were quite short; they were perfect for a fun half-hour of entertainment in the afternoon.

While neither of these DVDs is really scary, preschoolers may find some of the scenes a little frightening, so I would suggest these movies are better for school-aged children. Check out the Double DVD Pack for yourself and enjoy a little spooky Halloween fun courtesy of DreamWorks and Paramount!
