My 10 year old daughter is starting to recognise some common horror tropes.

This is what we’ve seen with horror elements so far: -

Addams Family I and II (1991/93)
Alien (1979)
The Amazing Mr Blunden (1972)
Babysitter I and II (2017/22)
Beetlejuice (1988)
Dr Who (2005-)
Five Nights At Freddy’s (2023)
Fright Night (2011)
Gremlins I and II (1984/90)
The Haunting (1999)
Hocus Pocus I and II (1993/2022)
I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)
It I and II (2017/19)
The Lost Boys (1987)
M3GAN (2022)
Prey (2022)
Stranger Things (2016-)
Wednesday (2022-)
The Thing (1982)

Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions. We will wade through them as best we can: -

So how did your daughter react? Anything you want to share?

Signed, million man.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

As usual, she delighted in the fact that every jump scare got me. She also laughed the classic, ‘Hello?’ line.

She didn’t understand the motivation behind killing innocent victims.

[–] sslssg (34222) 2 months ago

Which innocent victims?

[–] Stratego (30510) 2 months ago

Maybe Max? In-universe, it seems he was killed because he perhaps knew too much after the confrontation with Barry.

Helen's sister and the cop were killed simply because they got in the way.

[–] sslssg (34222) 2 months ago

I forgot about Max.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

Max, the cop and the bitchy older sister.

Very good movie. I really enjoyed the cast.
Jennifer LOVE Hewitt was Soooo hot!

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

JLH and SMG - what’s not to like?

[–] capuchin (3187) 2 months ago

If you choose to watch the sequel, can you please point out to your daughter that it's set one year after the first film and should therefore be called I Still Know What You Did Two Summers Ago.

Yes, it's a crap title. But it's accurate.

Me: bothered by trivial things since at least 1998.

JACK BLACK IS A STONED ISLANDER....IT'S A GEM.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

Playing himself then.

[–] Stratego (30510) 2 months ago

Or the title of the title refers to the events of the first movie when they "killed" him a second time.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

I’ll give you our verdict once we’ve seen it 👍

[–] capuchin (3187) 2 months ago

I Know What You Did Last Summer Again?

[–] Stratego (30510) 2 months ago

Something like that, yeah.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

It is the sort of thing she would question, lol.

[–] BKB (9912) 2 months ago

I have I Know What You Did Last Summer and have the Stealbook type of cover it came in, it might be Criterion, but in any event, the best part of this movie was Ryan Phillippe. Absolute BEST. They just plowed into this fisherman and knocked him probably 50 feet in the air and all this dude can think about is the BMW being damaged 😂

[–] Stratego (30510) 2 months ago

He's hilarious in the movie. Love the "shit-run-over-twice" line as well.

[–] BKB (9912) 2 months ago

😂

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

I liked it when JLH knocks on the door and when it doesn’t instantly get answered SMG says, “Well that didn’t work” and starts to walk away.

[–] BKB (9912) 2 months ago

😂

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

C’mon, it’s a nice car.

[–] Kowalski (75537) 2 months ago

YOU TWO ARE BUILDING QUITE THE LIST THERE....EXCELLENT WORK.👍🏻

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

It’s an education.

[–] AmeriGirl26 (14411) 2 months ago

Was it as cheesy as everyone said?

[–] BKB (9912) 2 months ago

Nah, it was good, but then they began treading in sequel territory and went downhill. They should've just left this as a one and done movie with no sequels. No Ryan Phillippe = No Good

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

No, it wasn’t too bad.

[–] sadpopcorn (1052) 2 months ago

I think it was 1997.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

You are correct - I have amended the error 👍

[–] KingsRule (943) 2 months ago

Hi, has your daughter seen this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089908/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_return%2520to%2520oz

I found it particularly scary when I watched it growing up.

[–] AndyKing1967 (38135) 2 months ago

Yes, she saw it about 5 years ago and absolutely loved it.
