DM_Zeppelin, to Horror
@DM_Zeppelin@dice.camp avatar

My son seems to love all of the horror movie characters, from Jason and Freddy Kruger to Ghostface and Pennywise.

He's never seen a horror movie. Everything he knows is from kids st school.

I want to show him one, but I'm not sure which one would be a first experience. Any suggestions?

Difficulty: nothing scary in a bedroom, otherwise I'd do Poltergeist. Also, no sex scenes. He's under 10.

@DM_Zeppelin Huh. The no bedroom bit is tough.

Most supernatural horror I can think of has either sex or something bedroom related thrown in.

I would have recommended The Gate (1987) otherwise, as that's a suitably weird horror movie, with young protagonists, rated PG-13. But parts do take place in the kids bedroom.

I like The Village(2004), which fits your criteria, but it is a little slow, non-supernatural, and might have too many (unnecessary) twists.

Dog Soldiers (2002) might be fun.

A cartoon that comes to mind, though I think not the vibe you're looking for, is the series Centaurworld (2021). Starts as an annoyingly saccharine My Little Pony type cartoon. Getting gradually more weird and ominous, and ends up with sort of body horror and one of the creepier antagonists in a kids cartoon.

Or, better for autumn viewing, Over the Garden Wall. On point for atmospheric, kid-oriented dark fantasy. This series is pretty much unimpeachable.

Have we considered the possibility that AIs aren't "hallucinating" at all but are just naturally sarcastic assholes?
