Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: 8 Family Friendly Horror Movies!

Since a child's mind exists at its most impressionable stage, what better time to start your son or daughter on a path to horror fandom? No, I'm not suggesting you subject your offspring to terrifying endeavors like The Exorcist or Child's Play right off the bat (unless you want to deal with those emotional scars the rest of their lives), but I AM encouraging horror loving parents to pass on the gift of spook. Get 'em while they're young, while their minds can still be molded and shaped to accept everything the horror genre has to offer, and then let them adventure off down their own twisted cinematic paths. Or just disown them when they run away screaming.

Okay, this one is a weird sort of go-between, because it kind of IS a horror film, and it kind of isn’t. Beetlejuice is from a time when Tim Burton’s brain was one of the best things that happened to Hollywood in a long while. His films were pumped up with craven imagery and gothic humor, and you need a real appreciation of that stuff to understand just how wonderful films like Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands are. Beetlejuice has all the elements of a horror film – creepy undead guy, haunted house, afterlife, possession – but all that stuff is made palatable for wide audiences because it’s broken up with genuinely funny situations and scenarios.

I think Beetlejuice is great for families, horror and fantasy in general, because it shows parents they can let their kids “go there” without fearing “there” will be too dark of a place.

Also, anytime you can throw a choreographed dance number into a horror movie, it tends to loosen up the tension a bit.
