Can anyone here recommend good scary horror, sci-fi films that are suitable to watch with kids? My children are 9, 12 and 14 so they are too old for the young kiddie stuff but I don't want them watching anything with lots of blood and gore and profanity. I'm not interested in those types of films.
Films I have on DVD and have watched with my kids include Frankenstein (1931), The Old Dark House (1932), The Mummy (1932), The Black Cat (1934), Bride of Frankenstein (1935), The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973) so I'm looking for films like this.
I have other films like Burnt Offerings (1976), Jaws and the 1978 Invasion of the Body Snatchers remake but I don't think they are ready for that.
Anyone have suggestions?
Probably one of the best modern ghost movies: The Others (2001)

I have three more to add...
Return to Glennascaul, (1951) (Orson Welles’ Ghost Story)
will be on TCM this week of 10/12/20
Ghost Breakers, Bob Hope (1940)
Scared Stiff, Martin and Lewis (1953) (remake of Ghost Breakers)
No, I had it on VHS growing up....I haven’t seen a DVD of it either :(
Hi, RatsDawg-!
Go to ping # 121 (or 127?) on the thread.
Another FReeper provided me with a link on EBay for it!
I ordered a DVD and hope to get it soon.
Yea!
That’s good to hear! Enjoy! Thanks for the heads up. I may have to order the DVD myself.
Reruns of Kolchak, The Night Stalker are hard to beat. Especially the pilot movie.
