I let them see it all and then we talk about it. Any questions are answered in a frank and honest manner. Nothing is off limits, whether it's the gay sex on Six Feet Under or the pleasure/pain principle in Hellraiser.

What is key is reinforcing what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

how does a 3 year old comprehend these things ?
My kid is exceptionally bright - but he wont understand the concepts ..

i just dont want to rob my kid of his childhood ...
theres a lot of things he'll have exposure too for the rest of his life ... things i see no need to rush him into.

you get about 6 - 10 years of innocence it seems ... why take it away at age 3 ?

I was referring to the 9 year-old, but we've been dealing with him in this manner since age 6.

The 3 year-old simply doesn't care about the sex and isn't scared of the gore. As soon as he starts asking the same questions as his big brother, I'll take the same tack.

They're both bright, friendly, sweethearts who still believe in Santa and the Tooth fairy and so on. And when my 9 year-old asks me about these magical creatures I simply ask back "what do you believe?"

He chooses to believe, even though logic would tell him not to. That is innocence.

We encourage wide-eyed wonder as well as rational analysis. To each his own, huh?

i know my kid has a fascination with horror - he likes the monsters .. he just doesnt like seeing people die.

he was afraid of monsters as well for a little while - until i showed him how they were made by making an animated movie of one of his toy dragons ..

i know other folks who give exposure to this kind of things to their children ... i just personally feel that they risk becoming desensitized if they are too young to tell the difference between real and fantasy .. there certainly is evidence of that happening all the time ..

not everyone bothers to take the time to clearly discuss these things with the kids ..

These are the last classics I've seen on TV.

A Name For Evil
The Beast Must Die
Day of the Triffids

All this talk about the Wicker Man remake made me check out the original. I'm glad I did. I love Edward Woodward in just about anything, and this was no exception. And Christopher Lee is always spot on when being a bad guy. I think I'll avoid the Nic Cage remake at least until it comes out on DVD.

BTW, where can one get a copy of the full-length original? I could only get the 88-minute version, and I've heard the longer version is better.
