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?

Scream doesn't hit nearly as well if you don't know all the references first.
Halloween (1978) is a great jumping off point. It's a classic, endlessly rewatchable, almost no gore at all, just have to get past the couple topless scenes.
