I’m trying to think of movies to show my 9 year old nephew so I googled movies that came out in 94/95 when I was 8/9 to try to remember what level of film you can appreciate at that age. a good third the movies I saw at the time - either in theater with friends or from Blockbuster - there's no loving way I'd show them to a 9 year old, even putting aside the idea of trying to convince my sister it was appropriate. some highlights:

Clerks
Surviving the Game
New Nightmare
Pulp Fiction
Disclosure
Casino
Seven
12 Monkeys
and, of course, Showgirls

they'd just let you buy a ticket to see anything or rent anything where I was growing up (though we did have to sneak into Showgirls)

I do think it's important for a kid to consume stories/movies/music that you're "too young" for but that's on him. I'll probably just go with Bad Boys, Speed, and Tommy Boy

Lmao you saw Disclosure when you were 9 how are you not a deviant just taking dips in urinal troughs

all my friends were basically on the Watch What The Hell You Want parenting plan and somehow I had the self-knowledge to understand I was way too much of a pussy at age ten to watch the VHS of faces of death or whatever. I didn’t even watch much mainstream horror until I hit my twenties. have never regretted taking my time.

i remember catching The People Under The Stairs on television and even the edited version destroyed me.

then years later the Amanda DeJesus thing happened and I thought "oh so that was a documentary".

The lake monster in creepshow 2 was my personal nightmare fodder. I would be in bed and wake up terrified it was prowling around on the bedroom floor and try to maneuver across furniture to go to the bathroom

I’m really not sure why. Rewatching as an adult it’s just a floaty tarp

It was the loving monster on the plane episode

the idea that there are invisible monsters lurking around to kill people, and the concept of suddenly being aware of one and nobody believing you, really messed up my tiny mind

the twilight zone episode where the guy keeps seeing the same man on the side of the road as he drives was an all-loving timer for me as a kid. just such a haunting image, found myself recreating that feeling or homaging it or whatever several times making art as an adult.

the other TV episode that genuinely popped my head open as a child was the two part GI Joe episode where Shipwreck is Truman Showed. like, I wonder if the word “Kafkaesque” ever came up in the writer’s room when they were developing the cartoon to sell toys
