Top 10 Movies You Should Never Let Kids Watch

Gen X is the generation that comes after the Baby Boomers and before the Millennials. They're the ones who experienced the transition of technology and special effects – which were terrifying back then! – in films. Ask them now, and they'll say the special effects seem funny, but back then, they were the epitome of horror and realism. 

1. Jaws (1975)

Even if you're not a Gen X, chances are you've still heard of the Jaws movie – because who can forget a killer shark attacking people on an island? Plus, you know what you're getting yourself into when watching a Steven Spielberg movie, and Jaws delivered that horror! People say they're still “not tight” with the ocean because the movie traumatized them as an 8-year-old! 

2. Child's Play (1988)

It has been almost 40 years since this movie franchise started, and kids are still dressing up as Chucky for Halloween. For people living under a rock, Chucky is a doll possessed by the spirit of a serial killer. Thus, a creepy killer doll is born. Fans recall that harmful special effects did not matter at the time; from the age of seven till late teens, Chucky meant pure terror!

3. Poltergeist (1982)

Another successful franchise by Steven Spielberg! Poltergeist is another nightmare inducer for a whole generation because the movie is about an evil spirit that possesses the soul of a family's daughter! Fans claim after watching the film with your father in a cinema as a child, you either become a horror-movie-loving fanatic or grow up not trusting TV static and clowns – the choice is yours!

4. The Amityville Horror (1979)

When you watch The Amityville Horror as a 7-year-old, trust this fan's words, but even 44 years later, you will be traumatized. That is a bold statement, but this is a popular opinion about this movie! It is about the documented paranormal experiences of a family that moves into the house – a place where a convicted killer murdered his entire family a few years back. 

5. The Exorcist (1973)

The release of The Exorcist was controversial down to its bone, with the film being banned in some countries/states because of its content and because viewers would faint or vomit in theatres. This story of a possessed girl is considered one of the scariest movies ever. Fans say they couldn't sleep for weeks, and particular scenes gave them nightmares for months. Even Catholic-school-going kids believe they'd be possessed! 

6. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

After Chucky, Freddy Krueger might be the next most popular horror movie character. Krueger is a monster that kills teenagers in their dreams. Thus, the story revolves around a group of teenagers trying to solve the mystery before they're killed, too. One fan recalls that after watching the film, they insisted on sleeping in their sibling's bed, but despite that, the film has stuck with them throughout their life. 

7. The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

It's another classic that all Gen X kids remember. It is the story of a series of unfortunate events that happened to a suburban family as a group of psychotic cannibals attacked them. Starring Robert Houston and Michael Berryman, this movie franchise is also popularly remembered as terrifying. One fan wrote that they're still recovering after almost 50 years! But back then, many could not fall asleep after watching it.

8. The Shining (1980)

This film is based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, published in 1977. It's the story of Jack and his family, who move into an empty hotel, and Jack begins to lose his sanity. Years later, the movie has transformed into a successful franchise because of the hype it got back then. One fan wrote, “The Shining was probably the first horror I saw that gave me nightmares.” 

9. Tremors (1990)

Starring Finn Carter and Kevin Bacon, Tremors is a one-of-a-kind film about a group of friends finding strange underground creatures that kill people – and they can detect movement on the ground. You have to give the film credit because even today, the special effects of the film are pretty awesome and way ahead of its time! If not horror, it's a pretty violent movie for a kid. 

10. Gremlins (1984)

By its name, you would think Gremlins is a cute Christmas movie with little green creatures. You couldn't be more wrong by that description. This film is not about that. It's about these creepy little monsters, one of which is given to a boy as a pet. Imagine that! When he breaks some rules, it results in hilarious chaos and destruction all over the town.
