Editors' Picks: Not-So-Scary Movies For Scaredy Cats16 of 17
Poltergeist | Available to Stream on HBO Max
Plot: When ghosts abduct a young girl, her family must rescue her and bring her back into the real world.
Our Take: Here's a film for those ready to take the training wheels off their scaredy cat bike. It may have scarred many children of the '80s (I still maintain a healthy fear of clowns), but by today's standards Poltergeist should be no problem for most scaredy cats. — James
