Eldest (a mature 12) has developed a sudden interest in horror films and is asking me for recommendations and/or permission to watch them.
So far I have allowed, but not suggested, Scream and Halloween. I have suggested Tremors and Poltergeist.
What would you suggest as roughly age-appropriate horror films that are actually decent and they might actually enjoy? They have watched all of Stranger Things.
