when i was growing up we had a family friend who was scared witless by the library scene in Ghostbusters (such that he had to leave the room a minute earlier knowing it was coming up)
my kids are relatively sheltered - don't play any video games, but do watch most of the cartoon channels on foxtel.. sat down and watched Ghostbusters with them a few weeks ago and they were bored pretty much throughout and not the slightest bit scared.. it does look a little dated these days on a big screen, obviously not 'realistic' enough
they can happily sit through star wars, lord of the rings and transformers though
