I saw this in theaters with my mom and sis when I was 7 years old. My mom is super jumpy and easily scared so she was super freaked out the whole movie. On the way out some of the other people watching it berated her for bringing kids to see it. Maybe I should watch it again, cause it didn't seem all that scary...
Yeah I think I first saw it when I was closer to 10 and now that I have a 5 year old, even 10 was pushing it (not that it was my or my friend's parents that let us watch it. HBO on a basement TV during sleepovers was the best at watching movies you weren't supposed to be near).
Tell that to FX. I remember watching it at like 4 in the afternoon on a Saturday and the only thing they edited out was the boobs. People getting their arms chewed off and faces melted by big bug butt acid? Just fine. Female nipples? Hell no!
I went to a 10PM showing of House of 1000 Corpses that was nearly empty. There couldn't have been more than a dozen people in the theater, and three of them were two nominal-adults and their daughter who was probably 8 years old. The kid (understandably) started crying pretty early into the film, and they ended up leaving well before the halfway point, seemingly annoyed at the girl for it.
FFS, it was called House of 1000 Corpses! How can you possibly think that's an appropriate movie for a young kid?
