My son loves the adrenaline rush of getting scared, particularly with jump scares, however, I have a lot of difficulty finding a game or show which is appropriate for him. He is prone to nightmares, and more adult-oriented "kid horror" is too much (Poppy's Playtime, Cartoon Cat?) And others like Siren Head. His peers exposed him to those things and made my own nights pretty sleepless for a while.

It's a tough plate to fill, but surely there's gotta be something. He's played Luigi's Mansion and got a kick out of that. That game would be a good example I suppose.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Maybe the 7th Guest. I played that as a kid.

I think thats rated NC17 or something for nudity. I'm not worried about that for kids but many are.

7th Guest was rated T. You are probably thinking of Phantasmagoria which had a controversial rape scene and got an M rating.

Shivers is also a very good example from this era. Excellent atmosphere in a spooky museum.
