Are the kills in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang real? I heard they were...

I let him watch house on haunted hill, and he was terrified, I never let him watch Creepshow or night of the living dead because he'd probably die.

Aww...You probably should have just went with Gremlins 2

It really depends on the kid, each one has his/her own 'freak-out tolerance' level...Now that you know he's a little sensitive, you have a better idea of what to do next time...My kids always loved the Evil Dead movies when they were little, but if House On Haunted Hill was too much, I wouldn't suggest them

Next time, how about something like Godzilla or Tremors?...They still get the thrill of the 'horror' effect, but it shouldn't cause nightmares...Many kids are freaked out by anything supernatural that they feel they have no control over or that can't be easily explained, so ghosts and demons may not be so easy for him...Giant worms and Giant lizards are much more easily accepted as 'impossible' so the kid doesn't worry about them as much...Know what I mean?

Yeah, maybe I'll just go with godzilla or tremors next time, I used to love them when I was little, thanks for the help.

Wow...and this was the original, not the remake, you say!

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.

He aint prepared for tougher horror.

I suggest you start him with easier stuff like Gremlins, Godzilla, King Kong type movies (as already suggested) then get him into the haunted ones like The Innocents and The Others, move on to Silver Bullet, The Changeling and Ghostbusters then take it from there.

He ll need some time adjusting to the massacres of Jason and Michael, more so Freddy and Pinhead, thats for sure.
