I suppose I must have been 12 when I watched my first horror movie. Can't say it did me a lot of harm.

I suppose it depends on the kid. If mine was super neurotic I wouldn't but if he was 'normal' then I probably would. Don't forget 12 year olds nowadays are a bit different than a few years ago. Back in the 70's "The Exorcist" shocked even the most toughest adults. Nowadays the kids are more likely to laugh at it.
