When did you start letting your children start watching horror..?
 

My mom was super liberal when I was a kid so I was watching scary movies as far back as I can remember. Now I have 3 year old daughters and dont wanna scar them or make them afraid of the dark. Anyone else here with kids have any experince in this?

My parents let me watch some of the classic Universal monsters when I was around 3-4. Never did anythig to me...well, except get me hooked:p

Re: When did you start letting your children start watching horror..?
 

Sooo...Are you saying that YOU were scarred or are afraid of the dark?

My kids grew up on Horror movies, as did I...And...We are ALL perfectly fine......*twitches*......lol

I don't have any kids, but sometimes when I babysit for my friend (She has a daughter that's 3.) I force the kid to watch Texas Chainsaw Massacre repeatedly. She cries and gets scared, but I tell her to quit acting like a pansy and shut up.

My daughter is 3 and she loves horror movies, especially Halloween and Children of the Corn! She has never gotten scared.

LOL...When Seri was 3, she was IN LOVE with the Toxic Avenger...Damn, I got so sick of those movies...She had to watch them every day...I can still hear her running around the house saying, "Toxie"...Where DID that little girl go?...*sigh*




Alex did the exact same thing with the Evil Dead movies...He STILL does....Constantly quoting Bruce Campbell...

LOL! I know how that is, I hate when my daughter gets stuck on a movie. She was really bad with Freddy vs. Jason for awhile. I got so sick of watching that movie!:p

Dustin's boy just turned 5 a couple of months ago...His hangups are Chucky and Killer Klowns From Outer Space......It seems to be so much easier to pick 'favorites' when you're younger....If I had to choose favorites, I'd have to make a list a few pages long...


OH...And both of our boys have decided that if the baby is a boy, we have to name it Ash...lol.......AND, they both want chainsaws (thanks to Ash) for Christmas...I'm still working on a way out of that one.....

Oh my gosh, kids are so funny! Im glad mine likes watching them though. I guess you are expecting? Congrats!:p

Thanks...I've still got 3 and a half months to go...and I already feel like I'm gonna explode...lol

LOL! I know how you feel, I have 2 kids. Are you gonna name it Ash? LOL!:D

Yeah...IF it's a boy...But, I am desperately hoping for a girl...

Well, I didn't make a thread about it...But, everyone still knows...I have NO idea how you coulda missed it...

I hope you get a girl, I have one of each, I think boys are harder than girls!

Hey what can I say? I'm a nice motherfucka.

If you are surprised he missed, you'll probably be downright pissed at me because I had no idea either.

Congrats!!!

I think you should name him bwind22 if it's a boy.

Cool..thanks for all the feedback.. And no I am not afraid of the dark (anymore). I just dont want to overstimulate the brats. Ash would be a kick ass name for a boy.. My girls are named Salem Willow and Graci Raven.

...sorry dont have kids yet....but I gues when they are around 7-10 years old..its ok...

they're watching horror already and i haven't even had any yet

Yesterday they started watching

I have a female friend named 'Ash', actually her real name is Ashyln, but everyone calls her Ash, she loves it.

what do you mean ?..that your sperm send it over :p

I don't have children, but I'd let them decide for themselves. Mostly because every kid developes differently. I started watching (and liking) horror movies when I was about 7, and my cousin still refuses to watch them (and she's 23).

Well, I "let" my kids (the ones in my nutsack, that is) start watching when I was about the age of 6-7.

My son is 4yrs old and he watches what I call kiddie horror. Things like Gremlins, House, Bride of Chucky and just general things like that. I don't think he's quite old enough for the good stuff yet.
