Not a chance. -- nm - Stephen, No. 5 with a bullet! Oct 15, 10:13
No, No, good Lord, No! -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 10:12
What, you think he's not going to be able to pick up on Hightower's gun obsession or something? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:10 5

  - The best of the series is clearly #3. Back in Training! -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 10:12
- (gah! FAIL!) - Beryllium Oct 15, 10:11 2
  - dumbass -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 10:12
  - *pats you on the head* - oblique Oct 15, 10:12
I would say no. I think, "would any of my friends' kids be able to handle that?" no. they are all older. -- nm - amanda Oct 15, 10:09
Rent PA1 and watch it with him and see how he handles it. - Dr. Vermin Oct 15, 10:07 4
- I was tempted to use my $2 in free Amazon credits on just this idea. PA2 is free for streaming but it seemed dumb to start with that one -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 10:08 3
  - While they all share the same plotline, I think you can jump around within the series and not really ruin anything. -- nm - Dr. Vermin Oct 15, 10:09 2
    - I meant dumb because it was the worst of the three :) -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 10:10 1
      - Ah. :) That one is my 3-year-old's favorite. - Dr. Vermin Oct 15, 10:13

What's great is they're really not violent, right? So all you'd be doing is giving him night terrors, which is fine. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 10:07 2
- Yeah. Freak him out real good, and then that night drive the point home with the Floating Head of Death routine -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 15, 10:08 [Image] 1
  - I'm trying to think of a movie like this I saw at that age. Neon Maniacs maybe. Nightbreed was a little later. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 10:09
if it's anythign like the first two... don't let him waste his money. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 10:06 1
- heh. I've never seen any of them in the theater. I was thinking this also :) -- nm - oblique Oct 15, 10:07
They can be intense, but are bloodless. Depends on what he can handle, if he wants to see it, he's probably ok. -- nm - ceregon Oct 15, 10:06
PA4? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 15, 10:06 1

Depends on how desensitized he is -- nm - prayformojo Oct 15, 10:06 5
- This would be the first real horror movie. He's seen Alien/Aliens and stuff like that - oblique Oct 15, 10:06 4
  - I'd likely not use the PA series as a first exposure to horror, at 12 yo especially. -- nm - Shaun Oct 15, 10:08 3
    - That's a good age for all-time classic Halloween. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 10:10
    - yeah this is my thing. -- nm - amanda Oct 15, 10:09

Whatch 1 (or 2 - which is on Netflx streaming) with him to guage how he handles it. -- nm - decline Oct 15, 10:05
prolly not -- nm - budice Oct 15, 10:04 1
- unspoiled lowdown... - budice Oct 15, 10:06
