No one mentioned Gremlins or Gremlins II. :)

I started watching R rated horror flics at an early age so I never got into the horror movies for kids.

My favorite and one of the only series I wont let my boy watch yet.

He can watch the Saw series?

Myers mentioned Gremlins on the first page.

I thought of a few more...

Eight Legged Freaks
Alligator
Arachnophobia

Gremlins 2 bites.

I watched it when I was 10 and a half.

We haven't gotten into them yet, but not because I have been avoiding them. I don't think I worry so much about gore, I loved the saw series and we will probably get into them in the next year. There is something differently disturbing about Hellraiser that I am not sure if he can handle yet. It may be the sexual aspect, maybe its that I cant seem him understanding it yet? Like sure I make him cover his eyes when tits pop up in Friday the Thirteenth, but I'm not sure how to explain the whole pain for pleasure aspect of Hellraiser. I want him to understand the movies and not just sit next to me as an excuse for me getting to rewatch all of the classics.

Creep Show
Evil Dead Army Of Darkness
Hammer Films

i enjoyed thecreature features of the 70`s and 80`s, i think there were lots like people have already said that might not be kid friendly but i watched anyway.

my kids have watched allsorts from being small, as soon as they were old enough toknow it wasnt real.think their favorite is the original jeepers creepers.

OHHHHH Creep show is perfect!

Wow, am I the only one starting seriously to watch horror movies with like... 18? xD My parents didn't want that I watch horror movies, I remember when the Blair Witch Project was coming to TV when I was like maybe 11 or 12 and they sent me to my room while they were watching and afterwards told me how horryfying it was and how good that I didn't see it. Maybe until the age of 10 I was only watching cartoons, I was not interested by live action movies, I found it boring to see actual people in the TV, and during my teenage years I was not watching horror either cause my father despises them and when they were shown in TV I was already in bed sleeping. So it was only starting when my parents divorced when I was 17 that I watched some movies with my mum in TV, but in Germany horror movies are not often shown in TV xD

Now my girlfriend, a horror junkie herself, makes me discover my love for the genre. But yes, I am actually very pissed that I seem to be the only one not watching horror movies as a child xD Wish my parents would have been like you Jake.
