Kooky, Spooky Kids’ Halloween on DStv
All treats, no tricks for kids and parents this spooky season on DStv, with Disney zombies, Lego maniacs, Shrek scary stories and more
DStv has special treats for your little ones in the run-up to Halloween on Monday, 31 October. Whether you’re a big dress-up and buckets of candy house, or you just enjoy a spooky story now and then, you’ll find something to keep your children entertained.
If you’re looking for an outfit inspiration, there are loads of characters to look for, including all the Shrek friends. Or you could take a note from what the Young Dylan kids are wearing, and there’s plenty of cute Disney inspiration for costumes on the more traditional side.
Monster movie time
Lego DC: Shazam! Magic And Monsters
There’s a superhero, who’s grabbing everyone’s attention, and his name is Shazam! It doesn’t take long for Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman as well as the rest of the Justice League to notice, and ask Shazam! to join their squad. While Shazam! is interested in becoming a member, he grows reluctant because he is hiding a secret. It turns out that he is actually 10 years old, and his name is Billy Batson. Soon after, Shazam! is tasked with rescuing the Justice League and he eventually reveals his identity.
