So my six year old was watching Halloween

[Jermys]

She went ToTing with her friends and they stopped at one girl's house, and decided to watch Halloween.  With the girl's parents.  I have a strong feeling that there might be nightmares tonight.  Ugh.

[whitemerlot]

Oh no! My kids are pretty easily scared. I hope the night goes ok.

[rosiebear]

Whoa. I'd be super pissed.

I hope it all went over her head and she's fine tonight!

[Jermys]

She's not easily scared, but the scariest thing she's ever watched is Scooby Doo. We're pretty strict about TV.

[papie]

Wtf? I'd be so pissed at the parents. Although my 7yo told me she watched Dracula at school. And Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Why why why? She is actually SCARED of Scooby Doo FFS.

[themoneytree]

I would be PISSED.

[nursewife]

WTF?! I wouldn't even watch that (I'm a wuss when it comes to scary movies). Id be really pissed at the other parents.

[karmasabiotch]

I'd be angry.

[Deleted]

I would be pissed!! That is not ok.

What the crap? Who let's a 6 year old watch Halloween? I would be pissed!

My dad watched Night of the Living Dead with me when I was six. 

I slept on the floor of my parents' room for weeks after that due to the nightmares. Pretty sure he regretted that decision.  

Sorry, Jermys! I would be pissed at those parents. 

[kyah]

WTF I would be pissed. Who thinks that is OK for a 6yo?

[agnes]

This happened to me when I was a kid! But it was Nitemare on Elm Street and my mom was pisssssssed.

Though my mom started letting me watch scary movies after that since they didn't scare me.

It was Carrie for me.  I called my mom and made her drive to my friend's house to pick me up.  Three houses away.  She was not the least bit amused.

My aunt and I rented all the Halloween movies one time when she spent the night with me when we were like 12 and 14. While we were watching them in the living room my mom went out the back door and snuck around to the front of the house and started scratching on the front door and making noise and scared the SHIT out of us, lol. We thought it was funny when we found out it was her but for a few seconds I almost peed myself.

I'd be mad at the parents too. Hope your kiddo is able to sleep tonight!

[katfco]

I'd be so mad. I was annoyed when I found out Abby had seen Lion King in her kindergarten classroom (I know it's Disney, but some of those scenes are pretty intense for a 5-year-old).

[littlesthobo]

My dad has no boundaries/common sense when it comes to scary movies. I remember coming home from school when I was 6 with my Get Along Gang lunch box and watching one off the Child's Play movies with him.
My kid can't handle watching Aladdin.

[trafficgirl]

I would be so fucking pissed at those parents. I get freaked out by scary movies and they have no idea how my kids would react to it.

[lexxasaurus]

I looove horror movies. I watched my first one (Child's Play) when I was 5 and hiding behind the bookshelves so no one knew I was there. I didn't get nightmares from them, thankfully.

That being said I would not be happy with those parents and I feel like that's something they should have run past you first.

[silva]

Hell to the no!

Lol
I am sorry i can't stop laughing at this

[Jermys]

She is completely passed out. Fell asleep so hard, she didn't even twitch when I scrubbed her makeup off. Let's hope this lasts through the night, and all next week when H is out of town on business (again).

[speckledfrog]

JFC. Well, now you know whose house to not have sleepovers at.

I know it seems silly, and certainly doesn't compare to the movie Halloween.

[Captain Serious]

Goodness, no! We pulled our kids away from Beetlejuice tonight, as it was clearly bothering J. What were those parents thinking?!?

[pinkpinot]

I'm 30 and I can't watch Halloween because it's scary.

[CurlyQ284]

My brother liked horror movies at a young age and my parents and grandparents had no desire to set limits on movies. I saw more horror movies from ages 5-10 than I have in the following 20 years after that. I can't handle scary movies now but in fairness the movies we saw were kinda cheesy/scary 70s and 80s. The scary movies out now are fucking terrifying. I refuse to ever go in an attic of any kind after watching Rec at my brothers house. Damn it Michael!

Not quite the same ring as Stephanie.

[azurely]

Omg what were those parents thinking? I even get scared watching Halloween. I hope she didn't have any nightmares!

[Deleted]

Yea I'm another where that movie is too scary for me! My son and I watched his first scary movie together last night and he's 9! But I wouldn't let him watch Halloween we watched Scream. He wasn't scared (I was! Lol)

Dude.

[snorky]

I watched lots of scary movies when I was that age and it didn't have much of an effect on me until I was older. Hopefully she was too young or distracted to understand what was going on.
