The original "Invaders from Mars" (1953)

As the first reviewer writes -- I saw it when I was about 7 and it haunted my dreams for quite a while... Steve A.

Kids being scared....
Quote:
   ). Record handling...nothing, but I coud even run the LaserDisc player/5 Disc Changer (Pioneer CLD-M90) and Sony Receiver (AV-1070X). That is not normal, I know, but that i just a real life example..

good choices so far. Well, most. "28 Days"?!?
She's a great kid, so I don't want to give her nightmares, but a bit of "I'm-spooked-and-I-demand-a-nightlight-at-bedtime" thoughts are okay.

When I was 4 or so I caught a bit of Jaws and was quite scared by it. To the point of staying away from open drains... might be scary enough for her at twice the age.
I caught The Fly at her age and had nightmares for years. Ravenous is pretty safe and kind of spooky/kind of funny, might be disturbing yet safe as well as engaging enough to keep a young kid involved in it.

The Zombie movies? Funny and creepy at the same time.

28 days later bit scary for an 8 yo, feck, I'm 33 and it scared the shit out of me (and my brother, and my mate Dan, and my other mate Dan) had me looking in the back of the car when I left the cinema. I was gunna suggest Gremlins, but sounds like you really wanna mess this kid up, bust out some Silence of the Lambs or somethin' . I can tell you're an uncle and not a parent. Sheeeesshhh!

I also reckon there are parrallels b/w Silence of the Lambs and 101 Dalmations. Considering the puppies are analogous for the audience (kids) and Cruella DeVille is making a puppy skin coat join the dots people, it's buffalo bill all over again
it puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again

The only movie that has ever given me the creeps is IT. Hated it when I saw it, won't watch it or have it on in the house today.
Sorry I don't have any other suggestions Paul. Van Helsing is kind of creepy but I can't remember if it has any sex in it. More than likely.

The Classics. . .
Although I wouldn't let any 7 or 8 year old watch most of the movies that have been suggested so far, including the following two. . .
If you're going for the SCARE/FEAR factor, without the heavy gore of ripped off heads and limbs constantly pulsing blood all over the place, Halloween is a near perfect fit. If she has religious beliefs (heaven and hell, good and evil), one of the best FEAR inducing movies out there is The Exorcist. However, this one is really intense and would most likely be way over the top with the crucifix scene and vulgarity in certain scenes. . . Falcon

The 2 movies that scared the crap out of me when I was a kid were Burnt Offerings & the last segment of Trilogy of Terror with the He Who Kills Zuni Fetish Doll. Both were shown on regular TV (Trilogy of Terror was a TV movie), so they're not particularly violent. BTW, when I was real little Willy Wonka kind of scared me.
