15 People Share the Scary Movies Their Parents Let Them Watch When They Were Way Too Young

"When I was 9 or so, my mom wanted to go see Signs, but was worried it would be too scary for me. I promised her I would be fine, so she caved and let me. I don't remember much of the movie to this day, just the scene where the alien jumps out at that birthday party. I literally screamed in the theater — I expected it, but it popped out from a different spot and subsequently scared the sh*t out of me. I never forgot it." — Rachel Crowley, senior copy editor
