You gotta educate them young! Lol. HombreLobo44 I'd agree, to a point. Of course, I watched tons of horror films when I was young, as we all did, but there are some that just aren't appropriate for young viewers. I remember watching Night of the Living Dead when I was about 10, and it traumatized me. I didn't sleep well for weeks afterward, and that's one of the films included in this festival. The Crazies is also one that should be left to older viewers in my opinion. Of course, kids are exposed to a lot more violent entertainment these days than when I was a kid, what with video games like Grand Theft Auto and TV shows like C.S.I., but that doesn't mean it's healthy for them to see it. I don't mean to come off as some sort of prude, but as someone who tries to be a responsible parent, I monitor what my kid watches. There are some things that she just isn't ready to see.

You mean like how my mom wouldn't let me watch the original Universal Dracula and Frankestein back to back on Halloween night, bvecause it was a school night and she felt I had been exp0osed to enough horror all ready! (The same women who let me see Rocky Horror Picture Show and Flesh For Frankenstein at age 8!)

Last year, a family of five (the parents and three kids) where about to turn around from the ticket booth because the total of $50 was a bit too much for them. I quickly told the manager that if they wanted to come in, they would only have to pay $20 and that the kids could come in free. They where pleased by the discount and headed in for $20 and I think they stayed for two films. This was during a Friday night when we were showing stuff like FOOD OF THE GODS and EMPIRE OF THE ANTS. Hopefully, if parents do bring younger children, they'll be passed out in the back seat before the Romero films comes on (which should be fairly late), but before that, at least they'll be a cartoon and perhaps a Three Stooges short for the youngsters to enjoy.

I'd certainly pitch in on the gas and pizza if there is room for one more... and even a motel room for the night.

Yeah, they're scary -- they're supposed to be! Would anyone let their kids on rollercoasters or carnival rides or in a haunted house? These are euro-sex-sleaze movies here. Now, if LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT was being shown, that would be different. But to me, monsters and such -- something outrageous that you can discuss with your child and make it clear this cannot happen -- is fair game. Now, that being said, I'm not a parent, nor do I ever expect to be. At this point in my life, I don't want to, either. A few years ago I did want to have a family, but now, f*** it. I can't even get my own life straight, why should I be the guide for some little being? Damn, my dog is enough trouble! Ben

They let me see The Sentinel which was rated R and all by myself when it was in the theaters. I think I was 13 at the time. It featured Beverly D'Angelo groping herself as Sylvia Miles fondled D'Angelo's boobs. My parents didn't know much about this film obviously. Nice stuff! For me it depends. My kids watched alot of horror films with me as they were growing up. Their mother hated me for that. I think my son enjoys horror films more than my daughter. Neither of them is anything other than well adjusted I believe. I watched Night of the Living Dead on tv as a kid and yeah it scared me, but I think a good scare is healthy. My second wife has really no rules at all with regards to her kids, with the exception of sex scenes. I have had more fun with my crazy stepkids watching all those asian ghost movies (which they love) The Exorcist (which my youngest would even watch alone on cable, something I couldn't do at his age. These things don't seem to bother them too much. They have the fondest memories of me putting on the soundtrack to John carpenter's Halloween, while all three of them were in my bed under the covers and then creeping around them while making gutteral sounds with my voice. For the most part however, my two youngest stepkids prefer The family Guy and Friends to horror films. They are much to jaded to get anything out of Universal Monsters or Paul Naschy films. Those damn CGI werewolves from Underworld and Van Helsing.! I draw the line at horror films that are of a sexual nature obviously or that feature graphic depictions of women being raped, sliced and diced, what-have-you. I wouldn't let the kids watch Don't Answer the Phone or even Wolf Creek, with me. I still believe a good and scary monster mash or ghost story like The Orphanage is fine for the kids. We all see it differently. HombreLobo44

I draw the line at horror films that are of a sexual nature obviously... We all see it differently. HombreLobo44 True, very true. My mom was just the opposite. She didn't want me watching violence, but she was pretty much OK with the sex stuff. I remember one time, she saw some of my VHS tapes in my closet, and one of them was Erotikill (one of the chopped-up versions of Franco's Female Vampire). The title bothered her, and she asked me what it was about. I told her that it was basically a nude woman wandering around for an hour and a half, and she was fine with that. Her stance annoyed me at the time, but in retrospect, I think she had the right idea. George Reis, your explanation of the free admission for kids makes complete sense to me. Just make sure you spike their popcorn so they are passed out when the Romero films come on!
