Just showed this to my 7 and 9 year olds last night


If my wife finds out, she'll be pissed!

They were terrified by it. My son has been pestering me to watch a scary movie with him for a long time. This will probably stave off that desire for awhile.

Hell! I was 12 when I saw this. I turn 34 in a couple of weeks. And this STILL scares me!

Imagine what it did to me - I first saw it when I was 3!

Originality needs a reboot.

Three! Oh my god!

I understand your wife's position, but have you considered starting them out with old B&W horror movies? Maybe Vincent Price since he narrated 'Thriller'. The oldies are spooky but not gory. Also, profanity is minimal to non-existent. The worst you will get is an occasional 'damn' or 'hell'. 75% of modern horror is gore and sex; that is not an issue with the real classics.

Sorry, that was supposed to be B&W. Don't try to type on a touch screen with a nosy dog in your lap lol

This still gives me the heebie jeebies and I really wish it didn't. I still get nightmares about it. The one about a Thriller ghost train still seems to be the biggest recurring dream.
