Ranker FilmList RulesAdd your favorite PG-13 movie to the list if it's missing, but only if it's the correct rating.
You've found the only list you'll ever need when it comes to PG-13 horror movies that are ranked from best to worst. These horror movies are all rated PG-13, so if you want to take a more broad look at the genre check out The Best Horror Movies of All Time as well as the Best Horror Movies on Amazon Prime and the Best Horror Movies on Netflix.
This is kind of a difficult category for these films to be good, too. A good PG-13 horror movie, for horror fans, is kind of a white whale. More are coming out, but since they're often censored to be more commercial, PG-13 scary movies in general are kind of pulling a lot of punches. The scariest PG-13 movies use a supernatural element to make it terrifying at all. But if you're looking for funny scary movies on Netflix or even just the scarier, more gruesome, and horrifying PG-13 movies for some reason, this list is a good place to start. They also make really good Halloween movies. For example, if you want to have some of the best Halloween movies on Netflix on in the background of your Halloween party that's always a good idea. Or if you're being a cool, edgy parent that wants to ease your kids into horror as a genre, starting with some solid PG-13 Halloween movies is always fun too.
