I did let my boys watch The Lost Boys. The more I think about it I'm convinced I saw it when it was new release on video which would make me about 7 and as much as the old phrase "but it didn't do me any harm" is of course anecdotal nonsense, the fact is I loved movies like that from a young age. Both boys absolutely loved it, they asked heaps more questions about vampire mythology and then went straight to bed and slept well, no nightmares or concerns about sleeping. The next day then were playing at being vampires again. So I guess, like so many other aspects of parenting, I need to stop worrying about what society thinks and instead trust that I know my kids best
