Starter horror film for 10 year old?

[LadiesFinishFights]

DD and her friend are having a sleepover and want to watch a 'scary film'

Any suggestions?

(I will check with friends mum too)

Gremlins

I think they've the goosebumps series on netfkix?

Not a film but, Stranger things?

Gremlins or jaws?

Is stranger things suitable?

How about Hocus Pocus .

Goosebumps?

'Are you afraid of the dark' if you can get it?

Hocus Pocus is a 1993 American comedy horror fantasy film directed by Kenny Ortega, starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker; written by Neil Cuthbert and Mick Garris, and based on a story by Garris and David Kirschner. It follows a villainous trio of witches, who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy in Salem, Massachusetts.

Casper?

Oooh I secong AYAOTD

It. Kids love clowns and it's got the odd jump without being scary (and I am scared of clowns).

Little Shop of Horrors. 🤘

Goosebumps or The Witches.

Beetle juice or Edward Scissorhands

Hocus pocus is good for that age but could be slightly awkward as there is a lot of talk of virgins and you might have to explain the word to dd's friend.

Personally I wouldn't let a 10 year old watch stranger things.

The witches is perfect

The woman in black

malope some of them did really freak me out though at 10!

The woman in black - er no, not at that age
My dds saw it in their mid teens and that was probably too soon for them.

My poor ds had to sleep with us for a week after watching Gremlins at that age. We still laugh about it.

Definitely not IT.

little shop of horrors
No! It’s about an abusive SM relationship, as well as a talking plant.

Hocus Pocus is the only one mentioned that might be suitable, the rest would surely scare the life out of 10 year olds!! (Angelica Houston's Grand High Witch is the stuff of nightmares 😳)

Oh, apart from Casper!! That'd probably be fine too! 😂

I agree with Hocus Pocus, Goosebumps or The Witches.

Not sure if I'd show someone else's 10 year old any of the others!

Ghostbusters?
