My personal one was the shining. I ended up watching it over 20 times before I was 12.

I’m spending a lot of time babysitting my nieces (9 & 11). I’m cis male and I would love to hear what women would answer or suggest for me to show them in a cool uncle role.

    It depends on the 9 and 11 year old, but I saw Interview With The Vampire when it came out when I was 10, and I read the book at 12…

    Are the nieces interested in spooky shit, or scifi, or fantasy? That might help you refine your picks.

      Good recc! Yeah they’re both pretty morbid. The older one is going to have a goth phase, no doubt. The younger one wants as many details as she can get on whatever true crime stories I know. Which is a lot.

      I had to hide my EMT training book from her because she was so curious about the pictures. She wants to be a cop.

        I can’t believe I forgot about that gay goth masterpiece. They’ll love Interview With The Vampire.

        Wednesday might be a good show to watch with them, if they haven’t already seen it.

        What about Leon: the Professional? I don’t know if that has been posted yet. But I saw that when I was however old you are in seventh grade. 12? 13? There’s some cop stuff for the bb cop.

        The first and second Crow movies are good for the goth one.
