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

[bondtoddbond]

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.

A 13 year old girl is not going to like those old movies...I do...we all do here...but I doubt she will.

I dug them at that age. Plus it's difficult picking out modern horror movies that would be suitable for a 13 year old. Something still scary but without the scenes of graphic violence, torture and rape.

Creature From Black Lake

These are some decent new ones, In no way slasher, just really freaky ghosty/monster stuff

1. case 39
2. the house of the devil
3. the new daughter
4. devil
5. triangle
6. descent one and two

these all certainly creeped me out.

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.

I've showed alot of these to my 14 tear old and having never seen them she was jumping screaming and closing her eyes.
Not to all of them but at least 80% of them.
A great movie is a great movie.

Carnival of Souls (1962)

Genuinely eerie, suspenseful and atmospheric without one bit of gore. They don't make them like this anymore. Great flick.

As a lifelong horror movie fan and new father (looking forward to sharing horror flix with his son), I find this to be a very "tricky" question for the age bracket involved. I remember being 13 and wanting to see the original "Dawn of the Dead" and being denied. I appreciate this distaste for the "torture-porn" genre of horror with films like Saw & Hostel. But will also say that for the violence in Silence of the Lambs it is one of the most intelligent "horror" films out there and, for a 13 year old girl, features a very strong female role-model in the character of FBI agent Clarice Starling. "Classic" flix (even flix from the 80s) are most likely going to be paced to slow for "modern"/MTV quick edit generation… All that being said, I've limited my suggestions to flix from 2000 up (in no particular order)…
1. REC
2. Let the Right One In
3. Cloverfield
4. The Ring
5. Drag Me To Hell
6. Trick R Treat
7. Silent Hill
8. The Descent
9. The Grudge
10. 28 Days Later

The Ring is definitely one younger kids like.

Another set that might fit the bill, the Evil Dead movies.
Don't think they were to gross, or too much foul language.
The first one creeped my daughter out when she was young. Mainly because the camera effect of it zooming along the ground.

Evil Dead would be ok..other then the girl being raped...by a tree..lol

And then dancing naked after she has been decapitated rolling her head from hand to hand. (evil dead II)
