Good movies for 10 year old.

Sounds good, maybe I should let his mom watchthe movies first so she can tell me if she thinks ready for them.

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.

OOOOH...The Goosebumps movies (and there are quite a few of them) are a great way to gently ease the more skittish kids into the horror genre...With no trauma :)

Well, 10 years ago this was me, so i guess I can speak pretty clearly about what would scare him or not, since it wasn't THAT long ago. Even though like already stated, it depends on the kid. I'd recommend Creature from the Black Lagoon, it isn't really scary, but it has a certain level of scare that people can all enjoy. Stuff like Jaws/ anaconda are great for younger crowds too. Maybe House?

Hmm, I'm not real sure about that one...Anything where something in a dream can 'get you', tends to make some kids afraid to go to sleep

A few episodes of goosebumps or are you afraid of the dark would be awesome,that'll probably help alot.

Yeah, jumpy ones like the Sixth Sense (where he can identify with Willis and Osment) and the original Haunting can be a real help.

I wont recommend anything with gore so soon...because his mind is still coming to grasps with the horror genre. He needs to feel at home first, then he can go into the slasher/gore stuff.

Yes, remember, first it's apple sauce, then cooked vegetables chopped into little pieces, and then big pieces of cooked vegetables, and then raw vegetables. You gotta work up to it.

Yeah...House could be a little much. It's got some goofy visuals, but it still has a creepiness level that may be just a little high for a child...If I had seen it as a kid, it would have freaked me out.

Hey, even the Thumb-Thumbs in Spy Kids are a little scary.

You can try some horror comedy movies such as The Monster Squad, Hellboy and Nightbreed. Then try out some Stephen King movies, ones which dont have much blood or killings in them. Some Hammer horror movies with Christopher Lee as Dracula are good to watch for him.
