54 Best PG-13 Horror Movies (Screen Rant)

The best PG-13 horror movies prove that excessive violence, gore, or sexual content aren't necessary to create a terrifying film. Not only do PG-13 horror movies deliver many of the same kinds of jump scares and terrifying monsters as R-rated offerings, but some remain the most iconic examples of the genre. Genuinely scary PG-13 movies aren't that rare, and despite their age rating guidance, they're far from tame. Many PG-13 horror movies are well-known classics too, with many of the most successful horror franchises having entries that aren't R-rated.
