Halloween film recommendations for 7 year old.

[SpicyPickle22]

I have a little horror but who wants to step things up a bit this year but not sure what to watch with her! I was thinking maybe some of the older scary films as they’re not really scary anymore.
So far she’s watched and enjoyed:

Little shop of horrors
Rocky horror picture Show
Goosebumps (and read all of the books!)
Nightbooks
Addams family
A few episodes of Sabrina

Probably a few others.
She said she wants to actually feel scared for the next one.
Not too scary though please as I am a wimp!

What? Paranorman isn't terrifying for kids. Unless you mean paranormal

Paranorman is terrifying for kids

It is literally a kids' film

Hocus pocus

Coraline

Corpse bride

Nightmare before Christmas

Poltergeist

Lemony snicket - both the film and the series are fab

@Barbiesarm yeah same here! I’m quite shocked at some of the suggestions of films she’s quite obviously been watching since she was very small.

Anyway thanks for your suggestions everyone. We’ve got a good list now to cover October I reckon and keep her busy till her little brother is born. Going to name change now so the weirdos can stop following me about.

Beetle juice

Watcher in the woods (PG) was good. I remember being spooked by that as a kid.

It is being exposed to them very young that can switch off her fear of things that we are supposed to fear at a young age. Our fears are there to keep us safe. It is not a good thing for a 2/3 year old to have normalised exposure to things that are startling, grotesque, gory or otherwise upsetting.

It's sort of like how exposure to extreme porn can leave men unstimulated by ordinary sex.
