Not that young. I was 8 and saw Westworld. My brother made me watch it.

Hmm, am I the the one who discovered horror the oldest ??
I was 13 and a friend of my brother's called him up and told us to come over, 'cos he had a couple of movies we should definitely watch : Evil Dead and Dawn of the Dead...

That camera moving through the woods absolutely terrified me and Dawn... kind of disgusted me, but I was definitely hooked for life.

Just as an aside : I wouldn't let my kid watch the movies I do. I mean... Friday the 13th at 3/4 ??:eek: She likes shark movies, though, except "Jaws 2", which doesn't have enough action.:D

no, i wouldnt let my kid watch horror movies at a young age.
its fucking rediculous. Ours is 4.
My kid loved dinosaurs but we wont let him watch jurrasic park unless we're there to fast forward through the scary parts.

i think by 13 you should have developed a decent understanding of reality vs fantasy. And hopefully wont end up with nightmares.
Kids up to 10 years old act out the shit they see on tv .. ninja turtles, batman, etc. I dont want to watch my 4 year old try to saw the head off his buddies.

It's so hard to say, because horrific images permeate our media. But I remember something I saw at an early age (six or seven) that I thought was really messed up: "The Thing That Couldn't Die."

This was a movie about some people on a farm who are dowsing for water and come across an old box buried in the dirt. The box contains the severed head of a warlock! And it's STILL ALIVE!!!! And if you look into its eyes, it hypnotizes you! It wants the people on the farm to help it get back together with its body, which is buried somewhere else...it starts to control the people, one by one.............

This movie had a seriously palpable feeling of supernatural dread. I mean, you could feel the head's evil influence. I haven't seen it in years, and maybe it is a much tamer film by today's standards, but MAN, it was really messed up back then. Supposedly this was done on MST3K, but I think they ruined what is basically a good low budget flick.

I totally agree with you. My kid loves dinosaurs too, but Jurassic Pak is still too much for her. And it's so clear that words like "dead" and "kill" do not have the same significance to her, as if they're just phases that you go through, and live on afterwards. But this is a very complicated issue and I wouldn't wanna spoil the thread.

;)

hell yeah, we dont want to let any morality leak out and get on anyone :)

I was 4, and the movie was Halloween... I've been addicted since:D
