    I wonder how I would have turned out if more sheltered growing up. I think I was around 7 when i watched Childs play and Nightmare on Elm Street. Then here you are saying some flames killing a fake looking big rat might be too scary for kids.

      I watched all that stuff as a kid too, I remember having nightmares for weeks over Children of the Corn. I want to avoid that with my kid and let her choose when to watch that stuff.

        Oh, I chose to watch it all. It’s just that my parents allowed it. Lol

        Oddly enough, the only thing that I ever remember getting nightmares about was an alien abduction movie called “fire in the Sky” that said it was based on a true story. That one kept me up at night.
