I wouldn't , kids need to be told no . If my 12 year old went to a mates and watched them I'd be pissed . Kids are allowed to do too much too soon these days .
I'd have my worries about an 8 year old who loves those things and is allowed to be exposed to them , as a youth worker it sounds alarm bells .Like (2)

As long as she knows it is fantasy and its not giving her fear in her day to day life, I think its fine

I wouldn't allow her to watch the R rates movies, but old black and white "horror" movies would be fine. What American kid from the 60's and 70's didn't grow up watching some type of "Creature Feature" program Saturday night?

My son also watched them...I decided to watch them WITH him, and I gasped and I reacted through each horrific scene (Friday 13th, Freddy Kruger, Chainsaw massacre, Poultergeist, exorcist...the lot)
we had great debates about it, talks and diiscussions about everything and He is the nicest guy you could meet at 30 years of age.....so...watch them with her,ask her about what she is looking at....show you are interested and that you really careLike (1)

My parents basically allowed us to watch anything we wanted growing up and my siblings and I came out pretty normal. No serial killers or sociopaths were produced. BUT If I was a parents I dont think I would feel that comfortable with my child watching most Rated R movies, especially horror which always have gruesome torture and violence. Its really up to the parent since only they know or at least should know their own children.

Our daughter watched horror films since she was two and never got scared or had nightmares; I just made sure to explain to her about special effects and make-up, relating them to things she knew like clown make-up, etc. On the other hand, she often had nightmares if she watched the news because she knew that was real..

i think it has to be a Trial and Error. Frst see if u let her watch horro movies alone and whether shes able to sleep onher own in her room alone!!
If shes not, explain to her the reasons is the Horror movies she watches.
Secondly, tell her, that kids shld not be watchin such stuff as it affects their minds to grow and make them abnormal whn they grow older..etc etc and some other lies tht might frighten her a bit !!
I think this shld wrok :-) Happy to help :-)
