I can’t really speak for other fans, but I know the reason I come to this channel is for you and your take on movies. Horror is broad genre with so many sub genres and eras that there is room for many different voices in the conversation and yours is a voice (and opinion) I love to listen too.

[@pablodelsegundo9502]

I have no female friends who are into horror besides my sister, so it's good to get a perspective in that direction, from someone who's not annoying. That's why I'm here.

[@penguin9000]

^this

[@Bravesandmetalfan]

It's great you give yourself breaks away from horror. keeps the genre fresh when you can take breaks. It's also good you know your boundaries and it stinks when people gatekeep the horror genre. Your content in general is one of my favorites on YT. Keep up the great work

[@WhytheBookWins]

That's one of my favorite things about your channel, talking about loving horror, while at the same time having a threshold. I'm the same way and it might seem trivial, but it means a lot to me that you acknowledge that someone can still be a fan of horror, even if there are certain types of horror they will never watch!

[@haleyhastings2845]

just so you know, I love that you have limits and boundaries. I feel like our boundaries (and our "this is too offensive to be entertaining" level) is really similar, so I like your videos because if you can handle something, I generally can too. Every reviewer being Super Hardcore would be deeply unhelpful to me

[@coolredhead2017]

Never stop respecting your boundaries! You're setting a great example and providing great movie/book content. More merch is acceptable too :)

[@seanathan4225]

Honestly you’re the best horror creator on KZbin in my opinion. So many other channels can be so gatekeepy and pushy with their opinions and I feel like you always create such a good space for discussion on horror without feeling like you need to fight people. Also it’s nice to have a channel that gives credit to how great the 2000s were for horror! Never change!

[@sun-pv1xl]

the fact u stick to ur boundaries and opinions is something i love about u as a creator! i personally am fine with most gore but we do have some other boundaries that are the same/similar and that makes me feel very comfortable on ur channel actually. thanks for this list

[@sky-sb5jp]

Just want to say I remember you saying you wouldn’t watch The Sadness because you were uncomfortable, I watched it in spite of my own judgement as a sensitive person and I can’t stress how much I wish I hadn’t watched it. I feel traumatised by it, by certain scenes and it’s made me scared to watch any more horror since. So good on you for sticking to your boundaries, never feel bad for that!

[@TaracanRa]

I like that you address your boundaries when talking about horror! One of the things that kept me from fully enjoying horror was the pressure to just watch the most gross or uncomfortable things that I knew I wasn’t going to like. I feel that hearing you address the same things while still calling yourself a horror fan makes this a safe space for a lot of people.

[@AmberDigman]

A big reason I watch your videos as opposed to other horror channels is because you do set those boundaries for yourself and I feel like your channel is a safe space for me. Our preferences are very similar and I also can't watch certain movies because I don't want to be sick to my stomach when I'm trying to just have fun and enjoy myself/ the movie. I also appreciate how you don't vividly describe or show gruesome scenes like some people do. It allows me to learn about the movie without putting myself in a situation I didn't sign up for. Thank you so much for being unapologetically yourself!

[@isabel7124]

I came across your channel like a couple of weeks ago (I think) and I haven't stopped watching your videos ever since! your honesty about boundaries (which I share) and your interests and opinions have made me feel welcome, like I won't be judged here and I really appreciate it. actually you inspired me to finally start a horror ig which is not a lot I know but it's a lot for me skfkskf so yeah thank you :)

[@elestrabicodebellavista]

Two things I liked about "Possessed" were: When the little daughter stuck a fork in her father's hand and the exorcism was done by a rabbi.

[@pilarct4997]

you are great!! I've been watching you for years, big fan. One of the greatest horror channels on youtube!!! So encouraging to see a girly that shares the same fascination for horror. Lots of love from Spain!!!

[@Kasenator-_-]

It’s okay! Sometimes I feel like I have to be working all the time. And I also feel like I have to watch a bunch of horrific films. But that is not the case. No one has to watch gruesome horror to be a “horror fan.” Watch whatever horror you like. For me (personally) I LOVe horror comedy’s. And oh 13 horror is THE BEST. Like the ring, scary stories, a quiet place, insidious, and more.

[@itsnotme777]

Thank you THANK you for mentioning Emily Rose and Ouija 2. Everyone needs to know how amazing Scott Derrikson and Mike Flanagan are. Emily Rose was also my first real horror movie experience in a movie theater.

[@EllenEmryReads]

I love that you think to make content like this, and have such an open approach to horror. I have a LOT of boundaries when it comes to horror, but when I’m able to watch something that doesn’t cross those boundaries, I love it! This list came in perfect timing. Also, needing/wanting to take a break from horror seems totally understandable!

[@damattice23]

Thank you for finally mentioning The Possession. It’s a fav of mine. 😀

[@rainbowFRIGHT]

I love that you're staying true to yourself!

[@kenzienodine6040]

Exorcism of Emily Rose was the first horror movie that I ever saw and it definitely left an impact. I still love possession and exorcism horror movies. I couldn’t sleep for days after watching it.

[@TumbleFourYa]

Thank you for talking about Emily Rose! It's one of the most terrifying movies I've ever seen -- to the point where I had to cover the screen when you inserted clips😅 The fact that it's actually based on a true story makes it all the more disturbing. Loved The Possession too! JDM is great in everything I've seen him in.

[@OBCDeeznutz]

I might have said this before but PG-13 is so overlooked. I enjoy all kinds of different horrors, but it doesn't always need to be bloodbaths or gruesome monsters. I'm glad so many agree that there are no wrong ways to enjoy horror, and that we shouldn't judge. Body/gross horror is my biggest NO but I ain't gonna judge those who dig it!

[@dawudj2286]

Maybe PG horror movies next, “The Witches” , “ Hocus Pocus” , “Ghostbusters “ The Stepford Wives ( original), Poltergeist: Burnt Offerings ect for example . I know there aren’t many of them compared to the Rated R ones.

[@nicholasperez6935]

don't feel like you only have to watch horror to be a horror youtuber! one thing I love about your monthly wrapups is that you speak about movies outside of the genre as well!

[@PossessedbyHorror]

this makes me feel so good because I love talking about the good NON horrors I watched that month as well!

[@OliPop_Official]

I actually prefer your style to other creators because you do have limits and know yourself, that is very positive for anyone watching

[@Brandon0844]

I, personally, bought the blu-ray of Tournament Of Champions which included the Extended Cut and that's the only version I saw. Also, great list! I've heard of most of these and I love both A QUIET PLACE movies to DEATH. Both are in my TOP 5 favorite films!

[@741escapethefate]

The possession is literally one of my all time favorites 😍 Criminal underrated for sure! The dybbuk is absolutely sooooo terrifying and the way they utilized lighting to make us even more on the edge of our seats really got me

[@michellesanctuary9089]

the *body horror* cathegory can be very effective in creating a perfect terror atmosphere while watching rather than other just mere supernatural films

[@msluckygirl57]

Hey, I want you to know to never ever feel like you're an imposter in the horror community. Even though I may have different opinions on certain horror movies, I love hearing your opinions on the ones you love. I love seeing how passionate you are about it. You're definitely a safe space for me 💕. Keep doing what you're doing, never stop.

[@WelcomeToTheDarkside]

Exorcism of Emily Rose deserved all the love such a great movie to watch. One of my favorite top possessions movies.

[@ericatate4623]

I love that you are very open about having boundaries. I’ve considered myself a horror fan since the age of 7, and I’m 32 now lol and no matter how old I get, I know there are some things that just bring me to a place that isn’t pleasant. I love the anxiety that comes from tension, some of the more shocking side of things but there are things I just have to turn down given my own personal traumas and discomforts. At a certain point, it’s just not fun. Hard Candy, for instance isn’t really even considered “horror” but it took me four times starting to watch it before I was finally able to finish and really wish I would have just skipped it all together. I don’t need to do that to myself. Keep your boundaries in tact and never feel like you have to push those limits harder than you know you’re capable of. You make great content, and I know I speak for several when I say I don’t watch you for deep dives into the more extreme horror that rEaL hOrRoR fAnS watch.

[@ericatate4623]

@Tom Whalen I have!

[@tesschablais4288]

Hi Sarah! I'm so glad you finally mentioned The Exorcism of Emily Rose! I've always wondered why or if you didn't like it since it's always felt like we have very similar taste in horror movies and it was just odd that this wasn't in any of your recommendations/tops. Great video! I definitely got some new movies to add to my watchlist. Thank you!

[@marylouasicksik8156]

Thanks for sharing with us about how you feel. As someone with triggers who loves horror, I greatly appreciate your channel. You do you! We love who you are. 🥰

[@krimzencarvalho5837]

My dog I've had for 10 years just passed last Friday and your videos are truly a comfort. I miss him so much and watching you takes me away from that for a while. Thank you for what you do 💗

[@PossessedbyHorror]

aw I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m glad I’m able to give some comfort ❤️

[@GL00MYG1RL]

I've always admired how real you are, Sarah! Take all the breaks you need, we'll always be here waiting for you. What's most important is your mental and physical health. Thank you for always being such a lovely and kind person! I've been a subscriber for years (on here and on your other channels) and I'm so incredibly proud of the person you've become. I look up to you a lot and I am so thankful to you for helping me become a better, more well-rounded person. I hope you have a great day! xx

[@PossessedbyHorror]

thank you so much!!

[@Horrormoviefan9]

I watched Old on HBO Max because of you, and so glad I did. So good. 🧡🥰

[@mikaylamcfadden7866]

Scary stories is so nostalgic with me, we used to read the stories with the light out as kids

[@mikaylamcfadden7866]

Hey I understand a break and boundaries! Honestly as a film buff I would love to hear your take on other movies tv etc. that you enjoy. It’d be nice to hear different genres, just a thought

[@PossessedbyHorror]

I’ve thought about it!

[@laurarumfelt4041]

I love your unique take on horror. Your openness and humor and unpretentious presence makes everyone who visits your channel feel comfortable.

[@bonniestevenson1951]

I’m so sorry you feel this way. I love watching your channel because we have the same taste in horror, and I know your recommendations of books and movies will be perfect for me! Keep doing what you’re doing ☺️

[@highpr13stess]

You are one of my favorite horror recommendations! I love horror but I definitely don’t watch every horror movie. It’s nice to have someone who watches similar movies to me! I know imposter syndrome hits but I would love your insight of non-horror movies and books as well!

[@AlexisApparitions]

I’m glad you like pg-13 horror as it’s often mocked by horror fans and lots of people only like the intense R stuff, but that stuff really disturbs me if I watch too much of it and I sometimes enjoy that lighter(not disturbing your soul ) but tense horror you get from pg-13! I’ve seen most of these but not Old yet

[@jonathanbint]

who cares if ur not a typical horror fan? that's what makes ur channel more interesting. ur opinions are unique and make your recommendations different to every other creator out there. mever feel apologetic about it

[@coolhive2941]

I support your channel no matter what. No need to explain. Breaks are key. Great list! I think I own every title on Blu-ray, but I just pulled Old, G&H, Underwater and QP2 from my shelf. Time for rewatches! I didn’t realize how many PG13s I liked and owned! Thx as always. Especially for telling us what service a film is on. So helpful.

[@scytherpunk6]

totally understand the imposter syndrome and i'm sorry you're feeling like that right now. it's genuinely refreshing to have a content creator like yourself who is open about this but you're not pushing your own boundaries for the sake of it. that's needed in this community!! and then we get to hear about other, lighter recommendations you enjoyed :) there is something for everyone. and pg-13 is great for when you crave horror but nothing too intense!

[@angm7276]

I love your channel and don’t think you’re an imposter at all. I love that you stand for your beliefs and boundaries. I like all your reviews and don’t care if it’s horror, PG, or whatever. The joy of KZbin is you can do anything you want! Keep up the great work 💗

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

YESSS!! Exorcism of Emily Rose!!! I thought I was being attacked by demons for like 6 months after watching this movie haha. And actually still believed that was what it was until like 6 years ago. The power of the mind is crazy.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

why did we all think we were possessed after this movie 😭

[@AliyahDayeVocals]

​@@PossessedbyHorror We're okay now

[@ripley2995]

cool to talk about setting boundaries for yourself with content you consume! It’s an important discussion I think.

[@literarylove123]

I really enjoyed The Possession. And Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a classic😍

[@angm7276]

I love the Uninvited! When I first watched this I was so surprised by the twist and I love movies like that.

[@kelseymclin4003]

Scary Stories was actually the first scary movie I watched with my 10 year old a few months ago. She was scared, but she's hooked now. Lol. Gonna be using this list for more ideas!

[@AVspectre]

I still haven’t watched it yet as the book did a real number on me when I was little 😱

[@jweather66]

Thanks for telling us about Old being on HBO. You hyping it up so much made me wanna watch it. Finishing this video and then going to watch that.

[@ghostfields]

I really appreciate what you say in the beginning I avoid all films where there’s animal deaths and r*pe scenes. Completely unnecessary parts added to most horror films and I just get uncomfortable/ upset when I see it in

[@theatermx]

I don't even like horror movies but i love your videos and have been following all of your channels for years now. Especially your vlogs were the only thing kept me sane at the time. Forever grateful 🙏 🖤

[@AW-hn6ro]

The director’s cut is on KZbin. It starts after the acid rain room. It has an extra room unlike the theatric ending

[@jackthekiller091]

A Quiet Place: Day One is the spin-off / prequel and were also getting part III in 2025 i believe, so exciting to be an A Quiet Place stan, i love to see it

[@notnatural5781]

The uninvited is so underrated! I never see anyone talk about it

[@chelsey1087]

You can talk about anything you want in your videos, we don’t mind. It is up to you what movies to talk about. It doesn’t have to always be horror and that is fine 😊 You are so talented and your videos and content is amazing. Keep up the amazing work. And upload only whenever you can, and anything that you want!

[@MrDylpickle27]

Never feel like you have a wrong opinion when it comes to horror, movies are supposed to be fun! I love 80s horror which I know isn’t your favorite but I still LOVE your videos

[@atmosphericentry0]

Drag Me To Hell, Under the Shadow, and Cloverfield are some of my favourite PG-13 horror movies

[@vixenellapops21]

Everyone needs a break every now and then. Always respect your boundaries! Most of my fave Horror Films are Rated R but PG-13 films could be equally as scary. You don't always need the gore. I'm petrified of spiders so honestly Aracnaphobia has terrified me more then any other movie I've seen lol My favorite PG-13 movies I'd say are The Ring and 1408.

[@kgischus]

I’ve added a few of these to my watch list. Thanks for all the suggestions. ☺️ I absolutely have to know where you got your t-shirt from please? I first watched Candyman when I was about 13yrs old and to this day, it’s still one of my favourites!! I neeeeed this shirt please!!

[@charlierippey9466]

All great films imho! The BEST horror content on KZbin bar none!

[@emmaa4595]

The first horror I watched was Lady in White. Which is pg13 I think. I still watch it to this day every Halloween, and it's subject matter is really adult and the atmosphere is amazing.

[@RivetingReads]

Omg don't feel like an imposter

[@RivetingReads]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose stunned me with how incredible it was! It is so so so well done.

[@lanacherie184]

Love Gretel and Hansel and it's beautiful look and actually really loved the plot of the possession ! Still have to see old ! Also saw the uninvited on Tubi while back and I agree great casual viewing

[@pollyc1661]

we all love you!! i have been loving your content (new and old) recently; and i might even get into some horror books because of you!

[@kristopherschermerhorn998]

Yayyy, glad Ouija Origin of Evil made the list. Definitely my favorite PG-13 horror, and I think it is ABSOLUTELY Mike Flanagan’s most underrated film, hands down! While it falls apart a bit in the third act, the first two acts are so masterfully crafted.

[@christyfielding7498]

I've never understood why people gatekeep fandoms. You can like something and not know everything about it. You don't have to be an expert or have only one thing you like. I personally love makeup, horror movies, romance novels, comedy, creepypasta podcasts, adventure time, etc. Yet I'd only consider myself an expert in makeup. Everything else I just love and don't need to read or watch everything in that genre to be a fan.

[@TheReelRapNerd]

I adore Scary Stories to tell in the Dark. The perfect PG-13 horror that's a great entry film into the genre.

[@banditnmbr087]

Yes I love that you have boundaries. Its one of the things makes you seem genuine. Idk if you have it were you live but I rented tounoment of champions at a Redbox. So if you can somehow rent a DVD or bluray that would be better then buying it. The alternate version has a different beginning and end so it really does feel like a whole different film.

[@terrortalkpodcast]

I understand the perceived pressure. Doing the podcast for the last 4 years, I've only just recently begun to simply say... I watched some other stuff guys : ) Our listeners have expressed that they do to! I've watched you a few years and I enjoy it all. Plus we do vary it with true crime and psychology but honestly, I think people come back for YOU. I love horror but I love movies... so I should say, that's why I come back, because I enjoy you : )

[@lopirobinson1991]

I checked out Monstrous 2022 with Cristina Ricci yesterday. When you get a chance it could be a review you do. I always love her but I felt it was missing a little something. I enjoyed it overall but just a suggestion for you. I could be biased cause I love Ricci in every role she plays.

[@marleneg5382]

don’t know if she mentioned it in the first video, but a pg-13 movie i really enjoyed was Dark Skies!

[@maykruvi]

Honestly? Whilst the horror umbrella is my favorite genre, I love you and this channel for your opinions & the way you voice them so nicely. I don't care what movie you talk about, as long as you're passionate about it (for better or worse) I'm here for it.

[@nicolewardin7493]

I love your PG 13 lists I have a daughter who's a big horror fan (she gets it from me) but I struggle with finding or remembering ones that would be on for her younger mind. Your lists are always spot on for both of us and definitely some fun mom and daughter movies nights together ❤️

[@SomtimesAmberReads]

These are some of my favorite videos of yours. Some of my favorite horror movies are pg 13 so I love getting more recommendations

[@ShaBella509]

Thanks for this video as I appreciate a good psychological thriller type horror but can't take too much explicit gore. One of my favorite movies is Skeleton Key with Kate Hudson. I also loved the movie A Cure for Wellness which is another beautiful film to watch but was so good!

[@carissaluttonmovietalk]

I've always believed that sex and violence doesn't make a movie scary, The Possession and The Exorcism of Emily Rose are movies that kept me up at night and I don't scare easily. Totally agree with you about Gretel and Hansel such an underrated movie. You should watch 1408 if you haven't, I feel like that would fit with this list well and it's a great movie.

[@tyleigh4309]

Insidious, Ouija 2, the Ring, Gretel and Hansel, Lights Out, the Fourth Kind

[@Megs1921]

You and Emma are my two fave horror channels!!

[@ScullyPop]

I want to stay on the radar over here for sure.

[@NekoKei_FEARNOT]

It's totally fine ☺️ U r doing completely fine and u don't have to push urself

[@hectormontalvo5565]

I don't know if you covered in part 1 but what about The Hunting In Connecticut and The Others? Good list and cool video Sarah!👍

[@mindthegapmindthegap]

The Hole from 2009 directed by Joe Dante is a great PG13 horror movie. It's almost like Goosebumps or an Are you Afraid of the Dark episode where the kids are in danger. For some reason it goes on and off streaming so if you ever see it give it a watch. Nightbooks was great on Netflix. The Monster Squad is also a classic not sure if it's a horror movie but the Dracula would be scary to kids. Poltergeist is also one of the best horror movies and I keep forgetting it's PG.

[@meganr7630]

I looove all of these movies! Especially The Possession! Very underrated. I love your channel and the fact that you're not ashamed of your love of PG13 horror.

[@leandrahein9323]

I LOVED "OLD" FROM SHYAMALAN!It's so underrated!!!!!

[@lindseybellamy6374]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is a fantastic film it was one of the first ever films I purchased on dvd when I got my first dvd player lol.

[@TheReelRapNerd]

The Possession is pretty freaking terrifying lol

[@abaliagoob]

i know its easy for us to talk about 'give yourself a break talk about whatever' but its hard as a content creator to do that cause your viewership numbers will drop and if this is your main income that is really tough. i hope you can find a way to balance your happiness and joy in the genre and your creative outlet. no matter what we'll still be here! (also how do you watch so much horror without feeling on edge? do you have any tips for cooling down/getting grounded again after a particularly harrowing movie?)

[@PossessedbyHorror]

that’s so true! of course I’m so grateful I CAN take breaks when necessary but as you said it’s my main income so it’s hard to put it on hold. there is a sense of obligation but I still manage to balance it all. which is what I’d say helps with watching so much horror! for me there are some that are so comforting but of course if I watch a heavy one I love to get lost in a comfy franchise like HP or Hunger Games or watch a more light hearted movie favorite :)

[@laurarumfelt4041]

Finally got the chance to watch Old. I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I especially liked the ending

[@alfinemuller2399]

Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendations, my to-watch-list gets longer with every one of your videos! The way you describe the movies always makes me super curious and I haven´t been disappointed yet by anything I watched! I also think it´s great that you keep your boundaries. A great movie doesn´t need to go to extremes to be scary, in my opinion. I also share your point of view concerning "Martyrs" which you shared in one of your last videos. I´ve seen it many years ago and although I agree that it is a good and very impactful movie (it made me feel a lot of empathy and desperation, which was horrible in this context, I felt bad watching this for my entertainment), there is no way I would ever watch it again. I still think about it, and that´s plenty for me. It changed my watching-habits for the better, because afterwards I tried to consciously choose which kind of horror I want to consume for my entertainment.

[@ElizabethSagewood]

I love the PG-13 horror, I"m not one for much blood and guts. These horror films have more of the atmosphere, paranormal and jump scares that I'm looking for. Fantastic list.

[@michasmentions]

I was haunting your page (binging your work) and saw this new one! Always interested to hear about PG-13 horrors I missed out on!

[@emilyrose973]

The Exorcism of Emily Rose is even more effective when your name is Emily Rose 😂

[@marshmallowpie42]

Have you heard of Ánimas (2018)? It's a pg-13 netflix original horror movie. The atmosphere reminded me of the original Suspiria.

[@joanaeyre]

Really like Old too! It's based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Frederik Peeters 💀 Love from Portugal!

[@demonbadger86]

I struggle to watch anything with cannibalism - there’s my boundary

[@lopirobinson1991]

Gretel and Hansel was superb. Love, love, love Alice Krige. She's brilliant.

[@Horrorzeit]

Being a female horror KZbinr surrounded by many male creators and fans who mostly idolise 80ies horror, your channel is SUCH an important place for me. I like 90ies horror the most and refuse to talk about many movies, most people regard as classics. (As I don't like to talk about movies in which women were pushed to do things or are only there as tokens to be abused).

[@theresateske7582]

Well, I'm a female and I love 80s horror. The more current horror is rather boring.
