Y'see, that movie scared me pretty good when I was seven or eight or so, saw it on TV. And this was like thirty years back. So in a way, it is kind of encouraging to think that a kid can still be frightened, in this day and age, by an old-fashioned spooky-wooky movie like this. It means he's not desensitized by whatever scary CG stuff he has seen. Of course, it sounds like his folks don't let him watch scary stuff, and that, too, is something of a good sign, because at least they are taking some kind of active part in his development.

Yes. Night of the Living Dead would have been way, way, way too much.

Yeah, I think this is one of the first horror movies he's seen, good thing we watched this instead of friday the 13th or Creepshow.
