r/MovieSuggestions on Reddit: Looking for suggestions for spooky movies for 12 and 15 year olds.
October 10, 2023 -
So far, this season, we have watched Gremlins, Ghostbusters, The Villages, The Sixth Sense, The Prestige, Alien, Aliens and Rear Window.
What are other movies that fit in this vibe? Not horror. Well, Alien was pushing it. I guess that could be considered the cutoff point. Nothing spookier than Alien.
Also, no T&A please. Nothing worse than Alien again with it's nide pinups.
As a parent, it can be tricky to know when to introduce movies to kids. But this is the time to introduce them to some great ones. Help me decide!
Update: Added Alien to the list of movies we already watched.
