      • The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1920, 100% mom safe)
      • What We Do in the Shadows (2014, comedic gore/violence)
      • The Lighthouse (2019, gore/violence/sexual content/psychological horror)
      • House on Haunted Hill (1959, campy and delightful)
      • Night of the Living Dead (1968, gory and violent, mitigated by its age and budget)
      • The Girl with all the Gifts (2016, violent and gory, but strangely uplifting)
    • Music is Now or Never by Myuu, who is a fantastic royalty-free composer
