The 10 Scariest PG-Rated Horror Movies

Posted on by

Jacob Trussell and FilmSchoolRejects present The 10 Scariest PG-Rated Horror Movies.  Here are my picks and comments for the top three…

6.  Race With The Devil (1975)  I saw Race With The Devil during its initial theatrical release and loved it.  Two couples (Warren Oates, Loretta Swift, Peter Fonda and Lara Parker) have taken their camper out into the backwoods when they stumble across a devil worshiping cult in the middle of a human sacrifice.  The movie then becomes a race to safety with the cultists closing in at every turn.  As a kid I loved the combination of horror and action.  Several years ago I decided to give Race With The Devil another viewing and found that it didn’t hold up as well as I remembered.

2.  Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)  Is another film I saw during it’s initial theatrical release.  While I prefer the original to the 78 version, I do have to give it up for the remake’s ending final scene!

1.  Jaws (1975) Since Jaws made Trussell’s list and it is the scariest of all the movies he selected, I had to pick it as well.  My quibble is that I really don’t consider Jaws a horror movie.
