My first terror movie was The Shining when I was 5-7 and after that nothing was too scary to be honest. I remember my mum telling me that there was a whole bunch of people working behind what we see and that made it easier. I am still a fan of horror movies and I enjoy a good scare!

I saw the shining at around that age too and I didn't find it scary at all. Then I saw the ring and it was scary. I was always afraid that the woman is coming from somewhere until I got annoyed of being scared and started pointing middlefinger to anywhere I thought she would appear from and I was no longer afraid. Later when my little brother was having recurring nightmares I told him the power of middlefinger and next time he had it instead of running away from the boogieman he showed middlefinger to it and he no longer got those nightmares.

That was the best big brother moment I ever had :D

Such a lovely memory. You truly come to cherish these moments in retrospect

What a cool technique!

Had to stay with Aunt and uncle on weekends for a long time when I was about 7 or so. I was the oldest cousin on that whole side of the family, so I guess they overestimated me? I had nightmares all night after Predator 2. Could do scary after that.

I taught my little kids to say Redrum! wagging their little fingers as a joke. Can't wait for the moment when they're old enough to watch this movie and find out

Ah these actions have not had consequences yet. Good for you

They won't, except maybe a funny look if they'd do it in public. The kids won't be harmed is all that matters. These stories in this thread here are appalling

I was teasing. I didn't delve that deep into the thread. Should I? Leaving that up to you, really.
