i'm pretty selective about what my kid sees.

He doesn't like stuff that is too scary ... but he loves the predator and alien movies (go figure)

fantasy violence is ok for him but he wouldnt watch a slasher. people killing people isnt cool - he's pretty sensitive about that.

as far as sex/nudity goes ... nudity is fine, people kissing and hugging under the covers is fine too (he thinks thats what sex is) but i'm not about to explain - and he's not at the level of maturity to constructively understand - hard core grinding or oral sex (simulated or not)

it's all about knowing your kid.
I also worry about that what he might seem to find 'ok' now may backlash in his subconcious later on.

He bacame afraid of the dark out of the blue a few months ago - no problem before that. who knows what's becoming lodged in his brain that may pop up later. it's not an experiment i want to push ... i have to think about him first and foremost.

anyway - there's a lot of great movies for us to watch that we both enjoy - we watch a movie almost every single night.

Just constantly remind him that it's all actors and the idea is they simulate the scary things so they don't have to be experienced for real!

My lil one is only 4 and has no fears..yet.He wants to see Michael or Jason,i actually just caught him a few mins ago outside looking for Jason.Hes just a lil horror fan:) I let him watch the edit versions,he blushes when he sees kissing and thats as far as anything like that is going.I think i'm ok in this decission,but if anyone has any other views on this please feel free to add them.I'm taking all of them in consideration;)

Well, nobody knows your kid better than you know him so you'll be the best judge. I think it's probably less weird for him if you let TV and the movies give him "the talk". That's how I learned. Although at his age the edited ones are probably best.

Thats fucking awesome man. I myself was raised watching all sorts of horror wth my pops. I could remeber watching Horror films as young as 4 or 5 with him.Everyting from all the Universal monsters to maniac,Poltergeist,American Wereolf in London, ,The Shining,The Thing ,TCM74...I could go on and on. Return of the Living Dead which my father took me and my lil bro to see in the theatres. And shit we turned out perfecly normal. i became the horror freakmy brother who likes action and drama,and I am normal as hell.Have a full time construction job for 10 years already,so dont let any one ever let you think horror and metal can ruin your kid,its all about how there raised.

Rock on bro!
