Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some introductory horror movies and series into the ol’ VCR.
It’s no secret that I was born and raised in the church of horror. KP made sure of it. We followed the system of “no sex or nudity” until high school, and even into adulthood she’d still say, “Oh my,” and cover my eyes during all the dirty bits (with the dirty bits, amirite? 🥴)
I’ve made friends of mine horror movie lists for young horror fans, and I want to share some of my favorite introductory horror movies and series with all of you. All of these movies and shows run PG to PG-13. HOWEVER, I’ll give a friendly reminder that The Monster Squad is from the 1980s and some of the subject matter and ghouls (like the freaky little virus dude) in Are You Afraid of the Dark? are more terrifying than some recent horror movies I’ve sat through.
With all of the particulars out of the way, I present to you horror content for the little monsters in your life.
Movies
Nightbooks: I really thought that season four of Jessica Jones was inspired.
The Halloween Tree: TIL this is where my deep-rooted fear of getting appendicitis comes from.
The Monster Squad: This blog’s got nards.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Watch Austin Abrams play the exact character he makes fun of in Euphoria.
This is the energy I’m bringing into my 30s.
Series
Goosebumps: Viewer beware, you’re in for a lot of really bad effect makeups and problematic story lines. I’m looking at you, “An Old Story.”
Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Seriously, screw that little virus alien dude.
Eerie, Indiana: Never forget that I saved my editor, Elliott, from thinking the milkman episode was a fever dream from her childhood.
NOW YOU ALL HAVE TO SHARE IN THE MISERY.
