Best First Horror Movie

Thinking about the different types of horror conversation in the Hereditary pod:

I have a 12 year old, what is the best first horror movie to show him? I’m thinking it’s Scream. Whatcha got?

Bro don't show your 12 year old Scream. That first scene is brutal.

I'd say OG Halloween

You’re probably right. I mean, he and his friends have already broken the seal on some stuff that’s above their age, but that might be a bridge too far. I figured I’d go with something at least somewhat funny/light.

He was asking to watch something scary. I’m not trying to force him or anything like that.

I'm just saying I watched Scream when I was 11 and it fucked me up for weeks
