Any recommendations on horror flicks for my 13 year old daughter?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Don't underestimate the old movies. My son is 9 and loves the Universal Horror movies, and I've let him watch a few of the less gory and sexed up Hammer movies. Hammer may be a good way to go, as long as you pick and choose which ones to watch. Curse of the Werewolf and Horror of Dracula are pretty tame for the most part.

Of course, I haven't let my son watch the modern gore fests, and have no interest in him or me seeing Saw and the like.

I'll throw in "Satan's Little Helper". I'm not too familiar with all the nooks and cranny's of this flick but I do know that this one has a serious creep factor. Just not sure about language, it's been too long since I watched it.

Oh...I had forgotten...

TRILOGY OF TERROR!!!

Especially the last part with Karen Black.

Your daughter is gonna LOVE IT!!!

Have you thought about original Universal Monster movies? How about Goose Bumps movies?

[Werewolf]

Has anyone mentioned Gargoyles with Bernie Casey?

Nice one! Terrific early Stan Winston monster effects.

Normally

Normally I read the thread before posting but I had to jump in and say I think Fright Night with Roddy McDowell might be a good choice.

Merry Christmas.

Watch the opening credits - love that font and the color - Mattel Slime font?

Reminded me of another great one: 'The Green Slime'.

I really dig Gargoyles, used to watch it as a kid on WWOR Channel 9. It would come on during the weekend afternoons, or late in the night as part of some "creature double feature" deal. I remember watching it along with Tourist Trap. Gargoyles really didnt frighten me, I just thought that it was really cool. Tourist Trap on the other hand, that sh1t scarred me for life - I cant even LOOK at a store mannequin without hearing that awful "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Just saw a three pack of scream one,two and three for $9.99 at wally world.

I haven't seen Gargoyles is a crazy long time but the little I remember kind of makes me think it ripped off Doctor Who and the Silurians.

Can anyone confirm this ?

Thanks all for the advice...I'll check out some of the recommendations and hopefully, I can find something that will give her that rush of adrenaline without the "R" rating.

I have no idea what the law is in the USA but over here in the UK if you were caught showing the vast majority of the films mentioned to a 13 year old you could be arrested, fined and thrown in prison.

Seriously? You can take your child to a rated "R" movie if you want as long as you are accompanied by an adult. The strange twist is that public television in the UK regularly shows nudity which still isn't allowed in the US but they are certainly starting to push the limits.

My daughter is 13, she loves Zombieland & Shaun of the Dead. We watched Blair Witch Project recently and I think she liked that one as well. I think she was unsure of it being based on real events or not for a while. I think most of the real adult horror is too intense. She likes the zombie stuff now. I think if it's a little campy it helps kids ease into horror, instead of just scaring the crap out of them.

I wouldn't do Blair Witch due to the constant foul language. Also, the Blair Witch setting is 4 miles from my house...no kidding!!! The only part I recognize is the very beginning of the movie where they show the Burkittsville town sign and the cemetary...those are there but everything else was shot elsewhere. My daughter already knows that the story isn't true which I think completely takes away from any potential scariness to the movie.

Have been trying to find 'Creature from Black Lake' and 'Boogens'....NO luck - Not even on 'Torrentz'!
