Scary movies for 7-9 year olds...
Well, after nagging and begging, my sister let her 7 year old watch "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween".
She did well, and wasn't as scarified as I had expected. That is, until her father dressed up as Jason and went tapping on her bedroom window one night. So..... we've toned it down a bit. I've opted for both scary and for mystical/adventure. So far I've picked up- Labyrinth Fright Night The Lost Boys Time Bandits Gremlins Lemony Snickets BeetleJuice Ghostbusters A few more, I'm forgetting. Looking for a few more. She digs the "Goosebumps" books, but she does find them awful tame....

Time bandits is a great flick! Isn't that a Terry Gilliam (from Monty Python) flik?

I was gonna say "Monster House" but it sounds like she may be a bit passed that now.
Coraline Should be awesome when it finally comes out. Neil Gaiman is one of my idols though, so I'm a bit biased. What was that 80s monster movie? Kinda had a Goonies feel to it, probably starred Cory Feldman...something about all the classic monsters (Wolfman, Frankenstien's Monster, Dracula, etc) coming to life...Kids melt down mom's good silver for the bullets? I might be mixing parts of "Silver Bullet" in with that, it's been a long time.

Fun movie with some scary stuff, but still fun. There's always Poltergeist, too.

"The Lady In White"
No blood, guts, or mad slashers but very scary. The best horror movie for the whole family I have ever seen. |

"Watcher in the Woods" Good book and movie. Kinda scary IIRC. I watched it in elementary school.

The original "Jurrasic Park".
The edge is taken off by the fact that most kids love dinosaurs anyway. Russ |

Aw, hell. Go for it. Warp their little minds but good. "Night of the Living Dead", 1968. Y'all KNOW what a Sick Bastard I am, anyhow...(grin) BTW, that movie, corny as it is now, STILL has some pretty disturbing stuff in it to me...

The Blob.
Scarey, but to a child of this millenium, the special effects as carried out in this movie effectively de-scarify it. |
