Re: films which haunted you as a kid.
I was watching stuff like Robocop and Terminator 2 waaaay earlier than I should have been. Not even secretly; I think I got Terminator 2 on video for Christmas when I was about 9. My parents didn't seem too fussed about violence, just thought it was daft, but too much effing and jeffing would probably get something switched off.
Glad I don't have to make those kinds of parenting decisions. I'd be torn between obviously not wanting my kids to watch some gratuitous gorefest, and thinking how boring my childhood would have been if I'd had to wait until I was 18 to see anything juicy.
