The movie that comes to mind for me is Matango. It’s a 1963 Japanese horror film by Ishirô Honda (the director of the Godzilla movies) that IMDb describes as “Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms.”.


I was curious what other PG horror movies people like. I find a lot of the time the limitations or target of an age rating can become noticeable and distracting.

That’s an easy choice for me: Coraline.

It probably traumatized tens of thousands of kids. I saw a lot of angry posts from parents that left the cinema with their kids in the middle.

I remember the audiobook of Coraline scaring the living bejessus out of me as a kid, way moreso than the movie. I do love the movie though, it’s so good
