But....wearing slut gear/hangin' with the wrong crowd...etc
Is pretty different from cruising around a horror forum.
Clearly there's an interest there, and it's being stomped on, why?
Pre-conceived ideas about horror and those that have an interest in it. Same old story - and it's a story that only gets told by those that are well...ignorant about the whole horror deal...
I agree, up until a certain age, a child should not be exposed to graphic or innapropriote material, and yes, it should be up to the parent to determine when is the right time.
However, just saying "no" to a particular genre of film is not very productive at all. There's just no reason for it.
Taking more of an interest, even checking out the forum themselves, kicking back and watching a few horror films with their kid, seeing that they don't take it as gospel, might be an idea. I think the whole thing is with parenting (although I've only had a little brother myself), is that there's some things you gotta be prepared to meet half way on, at least until the point that it DOES become a cause for concern.
