Help testing a 13 year old boys tolerance
 

I need help.

I have just adopted the care and well being of a 13 year old boy. His mother was a little over protective of him (IMO) so he has just started watching horror movies. A year ago it was a treat to watch Blade. Recently he has watched Resident Evil (the first one) and expressed in interest in exploring more horror movies. His mother says she is okay with it as long as I don't give him nightmares.

So I would like your assistance in coming up with a list of 5 movies that I could test his horror tolerance on - with each movie being more scary than the previous one. This way I can ease him in and test his ability to handle these movies.

I have no doubt one day soon he will be out there watching slasher flicks with his old man but I don't want to rush him.

Thanks.

in no particular order

NightOTD
DawnOTD
DayOTD
The Fog
The Thing
Dog Soldiers
Tenebre
American Werewolf in London

Evil Dead
Alien
Friday The 13th
A Nightmare On Elm Street
Amityville 2: The Posession
The Fly (Cronenberg's remake)


Not in any order but maybe the thing to do is watch them yourself first and decide then.

1st to last :

- Misery
- Night of the Demons
- Strangeland
- The Evil Dead
- Battle Royale

In this order:
- Gremlins
- The Gate
- NOTLD
- Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- Cannibal Holocaust

:p

Interview with a vampire,halloween,2,puppetmaster,friday the thirteenth,nightmare on elm street, the dead trilogy, and hellraiser

in this order:
Evil Dead 2
Nightmare on elm street
Halloween
Friday the 13th
Texas Chainsaw massacre

Very good list, take his advice. I have absoluly know interest in Cannibal Hollocaust, but id you wanna see what he can take....go for it

nice progression.....but as he has already seen blade & resident evil, the first 2 steps are wasted. maybe lose those and add some fulci gore and dawn of the dead between texas and CH.

If ya really wanna make him cultured in the art of horror, ret some old Vincent Price films, I reccomend Pit and the Pendulum, or House on Haunted Hill.
