Toy Story of Terror!
This breezy 22-minute Halloween special plays like an affectionate wink at horror-movie clichés, with the beloved Toy Story gang stuck at a creepy roadside motel where toys vanish one by one. The scares are soft and comedic by design, but the jump-scare style pacing and Jessie's visible panic attacks may rattle very young or sensitive viewers.
A great fit for kids who already enjoy the Toy Story films and are comfortable with mild suspense, generally from around age 5 or 6 and up.

The special opens with a black-and-white horror film being watched by the toys inside the car trunk, complete with a vampire and a graveyard chase; it is immediately played for laughs as the toys critique the plot.
Jessie is knocked into a toolbox when the car hits a bump; she has a visible panic attack inside the small dark space before the others free her, and her claustrophobia is explained on screen.
Toys disappear one by one in dim motel corridors while an unseen creature moves through shadows; pacing and sound effects are styled after classic horror films and include several startling audio stings.
