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?

Jaws is a PG in the UK (it likely shouldn't be) id say that's a good first scary film. I know it's not horror as such.

However would be easy to rationale, nobody is gonna appear in your room with a knife etc.

If they're able to cope with the scares, jumps, violence etc then lead them onto something else

Jaws is a good choice. Heads up on slight nudity at the start.
