Gremlins, watching it as an adult I realized it is not suitable for young kids 😅

Man... I remember having fond memories of it. Plus, sort of a Christmas flick. So come winter break, I turn it on for my eight year old. I get to cooking dinner and about 45 minutes in, he's shaking from it. He slept in our room for the first time in years that night. And the next night. And the next.

Literally just told his mom he's still scared of gremlins. This will be one of the parenting regrets.

Like hell it isn't. I watched that as a young kid and it's been a favorite ever since.

It is the movie that led to the creation of the PG-13 rating, though.

@JoeKrogan@lemmy.world I think it is a cautionary tail for people when they reach 40: don’t eat late or something bad will happen… monsters or… INDIGESTION 😱😱😱😱
