PG 13 for horror movies?

Good luck because they're VERY few.

But the ones I remember:

The Ring
The Ring 2
Poltergeist
The Others

And if you ask me, you could also use (R rated but nothing objectionable on them)

The Omen
The Prophecy (just the first one, as the second one has a very explicit sex scene)
Willard
Underworld

The only good horror films I've seen were rated R. The Ring was alright though, I guess you can get that.

But whatever you do, DO NOT get Secret Window or White Noise!

If you include thrillers: Silence of the Lambs would definately be one of the best.

Horror:
The Ring
Pet Cemetary
The Shinning
The Amytville Horror (old one)

Not necessarily Horror, but Legend is a good fantasy and Halloween season movie. Also, they're only on hard-to-find VHS's, but House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows are good horror movies from 1970 and 1971. They were basically a movie version of the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows.

Disney has a couple scary movies of their own:

The Watcher in the Woods
Something Wicked This Way Comes

Why does the movie have to be PG-13 or under?

Maybe his parents wouldn't approve. Didn't you read the 8-page thread "R-Rated Movies"!

hmm I see others that are not pg-13

Horror movies are not normally PG-13, They are meant to scare you.

So I recommend that Alan gets

A Nightmare before Christmas

or maybe some Holloween Town, Hocus Pocus, or It's the great pumpkin Charlie Brown

Since the 1997 miniseries of The Shining is not rated, it would be a good horror movie.

Well, I for once I'm glad that he chooses to watch movies that are meant to be for his age. I mean, most of the times we make fun of kids because they can't watch our movies and in doing so, we encourage them to watch them. But really, what's the need? Childhod is the most beautiful period in our lives and is so brief, so why destroy it earlier? Kids will have their enire lives to do adult things for the rest of their lives.

But it is also true, when you talk about horror movies, you talk about R rated ones for the most part.

Although on a side note, if a movie can get to scare you in the ranks of PG/PG 13, without the need of anything else it truly means that it was a terrific movie.

PS

I'm a horror movie fan, most of my coleection is based on it.

The 1980 Movie the Shining is rated R, I looked it up

Oops, sorry Allen

Well there is always The Gremlins 1 and 2. The Black Cauldron and The Adventures of Icabod and Mr. Toad could be considered scary.

memnv · Post by **memnv** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 6:15 pm

gremlins is a good choice

How about Ernest Scared Stupid? It's rated PG!

That's why I recommended the 1997 miniseries (the one with Steve Weber, Rebecca DeMornay, and Courtland Mead).

Not quite scary though... same with some of memnv's tamer choices.

Alan just go with some classics that probably aren't rated or are rated low. How about classic Universal monster movies? Get King Kong in there since the new movie is coming out perhaps?

Or how about watching the original classics of movies and then the remakes?

The Haunting (original - G; remake PG-13)
(okay so I can't think of any more where the remake is under R)

How about some werewolf comedy? Teen Wolf?

Yeah some rated R movies may be too scary or bloody for you... hey... why not watch as many Simpsons and South Park Halloween episodes for a marathin?
