Scott Miller Wrote:My son and I have been watching 'guy' flicks after the girls go off to bed on the weekends and I thought he was ready for The Thing; was I ever wrong. While he managed to watch the entire movie without any apparent duress, he woke up shuddering about every half hour during the rest of the night. At least it will be remembered. What a great flick, it is one of the few that I can watch repeatedly.

Scott Miller Wrote:He's almost 10, a bit young I know but I don't think it is that much more intense than the Terminator movies, or Tremors, or The Mummy which we've watched together.
BTW, he did sleep through the night last night so he's on the road to recovery.

Scott Miller Wrote:Jaws for me. It so profoundly disturbed me that after I saw it I spent an entire summer on dry land. I figure most people see the scariest, funniest, the whateveriest movies when they're young and impressionable so I want to introduce him to what I consider to be quality horror before his peers start telling him how great The House of 1000 Corpses is.
