Halloween Countdown No. 3: Coraline (2009), written and directed by Henry Selick from Neil Gaiman's novel. A LAIKA stop-motion film.

Behind a small door, Coraline finds a second home where the Other Mother cooks her favorite food and actually listens. The price is buttons sewn over her eyes.

A film about the difference between being loved and being wanted. PG, and scary for younger kids.
