Now that it’s starting to cool down outside and the days are getting shorter, it’s the perfect time to snuggle up in cozy pajamas and watch a movie. The Lars team put our heads together to come up with a great fall movie list, with options ranging from cozy to creepy.
Depending on your mood, you can find a something sentimental and sweet or creepy, all of which are perfect for chilly nights and changing leaves.
But first, find your new favorite fall pajamas!
My Favorite Fall Pajamas
A strict dress code of cozy pajamas for movie nights is non-negotiable, if you ask me. As a kid, my siblings and I always had to get into jammies before we started a movie. Now I realize that there was a great reason for that rule–my parents didn’t want to have to wrangle any kids into pajamas late at night when everyone was extra sleepy!
Still, I’m a firm believer that pajamas are vital to any good movie night. The snugglier the better! I’m a sucker for matching pajamas, so you’ll see some sets that are available in kid and adult sizes, which is an added bonus! Here are my favorite fall pajamas:
For Kids
For Grown Ups

I am SO glad you included The Ghost and Mr. Chicken! I used to watch that as often as possible when I was a kid, so much so I have much of it memorized! lol
May I also suggest ‘The Ghost and Mrs. Muir’ -(You can find it in full to rent or buy on you tube) made in 1947! Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison (both just yummy to watch). She’s a young widow, he’s an old sea captain who haunts the house she now lives in with her daughter, played by Natalie wood. Perfectly old fashioned love story with humour. Also has George Sanders who did the voice for Shere Khan in the original Disney Jungle Book.
I loved the Ghost and Mr. Chicken as a kid. Arsenic and Old Lace was another family favorite!
