In honor of the dinosaurs chomping up the box
office even as we speak, Terri chatted with Kathy Ceceri, who
writes about homeschooling on the All About
Homeschooling Facebook page and her site Crafts for
Learning, about kids and scary movies. Is it a societal
contradiction that we worry about kids playing alone outside but
don't mind them sitting in front of shoot-'em-up video games for
hours? Should Lego be making playsets for movies that kids aren't
technically allowed to go to? Are making-of documentaries a good
way to introduce kids to scary fare or just a way to ruin all the
fun? What's more scary, slasher movies, zombies,
or Fraggle Rock? Listen in for some thoughts on
whether horror movies and other scary fare are going to
break your kids or help them get into film school. You can find
Kathy's article on a birthday-party horror spree on
Wired; if you're reading this someplace without
