r/horror on Reddit: Good horror for 12-13 yr old who hasn’t seen much horror yet?

He’s pretty mature, not that flappable, and pretty cynical about anything that’s too dated. He’s also probably past stuff like Gremlins, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Goosebumps level stuff, but maybe not.
I watched The Thing around this age and it definitely scared me somewhat shitless, but in a fond memory sort of way.
Thoughts?
ETA: y’all are awesome. Movies for days here. We watched Human Centipede 2 after multiple recommendations here and it was a hit with the whole family.

Terror for Tweens: twenty PG-13 horror gateway movies • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine
October 16, 2025 - I’ve also tried to stay true to the “PG-13” rating, which came into use in 1984, so that’s why there’s no “PG” horror like Poltergeist (although if ever a film needed a re-rating…), nor are there classics like Universal Monsters. I’ve found that younger viewers first tend towards recent releases, so naturally my first recommendation involves video cassettes. ... It’s a lot to drop anyone straight into Japanese horror, let alone a child, but a good entry point for some serious scares (and one of the library’s most popular choices) is Gore Verbinski’s The Ring.
