From Coraline to The Watcher in the Woods, these are the best kid-friendly horror movies, according to Reddit.
Horror movies are great fun to watch in groups, but it can be hard to find horrors that the whole family can enjoy. By their nature, horrors lean toward more adult content. Fortunately, Redditors recently got together on r/movies, the largest film subreddit, to discuss which horror movies are kid-friendly - and still good.
9 'Ouija: Origin of Evil' Horror maestro Mike Flanagan directed this slow-burn fright fest. Set in the 1960s, Ouija: Origin of Evil follows the Zander family, whose matriarch, Alice , works as a medium to make ends meet. When she incorporates a Ouija board into her act to bolster business, she unwittingly opens a portal to maleficent forces.
7 'Krampus' Adam Scott and Toni Collette star in this comedy-horror about a dysfunctional family coming together for Christmas. Young Max , disillusioned with his family's lack of holiday cheer, accidentally unleashes Krampus, a figure from European folklore who punishes those who have lost their Christmas spirit. As a blizzard blankets their town and isolates them from the outside world, the family members find themselves besieged by a series of sinister and supernatural events.
5 'The Gate' 12-year-old pals Glen and Terry discover a mysterious geode in Glen's backyard. Inadvertently, they unlock a portal to another dimension, awakening a horde of pint-sized demons. As the creatures grow in number and power, the two friends must find a way to close the gate and stop the invasion.
Together, they must uncover the mysteries hidden within the walls, particularly a clock placed there by the mansion's previous owner, Isaac Izard , which is counting down to a malevolent event. Boasting delightful spells, fantastical creatures, and a propulsive plot, The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a charming adventure that shows off Roth's softer side. "It's] a good intro horror if that's what you are looking for. My kid loved it," said Redditor Mcletters.
2 'Rare Exports' Rare Exports is a Finnish comedy horror set in the remote Korvatunturi mountains. Young Pietari and his friend discover that scientists are conducting strange experiments in the nearby excavations. As Christmas approaches, the children begin to suspect that Santa Claus might not be the benevolent gift-bringer they've been told.
