The Gate (1987)

The Gate is a 1987 horror film about two boys who release a horde of demons into their home through a hole made when a tree is removed. I agree with those who say it's a great introduction to the horror genre for kids, but it's also enjoyable for any age. I watched it on tubi TV. Here's a trailer:



Dread Central says it's "a great gateway (natch) to horror movies for kids." Horror News calls it "a wonderful example of 1980’s horror."

    1. Midnight Mass was incredible. This movie is a whole different type of horror, but variety -as they say- is the spice of life :)

  2. Oh yes, it is the month of horror films. Not my thing, but there are a few scary movies I enjoy. Hope the new month is treating you well.

    1. You ought to be able to access Tubi online if you don't mind watching movies on a computer screen. I watch a lot of movies that way.
