* Not a horror film, but in ''Raising Dad'', Sarah takes Emily with her and her friends to see an R-rated movie called "Love To Love". Emily ends up trying to practice making out with a boy from school. At the end of the episode, Sarah reveals that she's been lying to her dad about what movies she sees for years.

* One episode of ''Hope & Faith'' has the family try to convince Hope to quit her chef job by showing themselves pretending to be completely lost without her. Justin's part?

'''Hope:''' Charlie, how could you let him watch that? [[Noodle Incident|He still has nightmares from]] ''[[Sesame Street|Elmo In Grouch Land]]''. }}

* On ''[[Full House]]'', Stephanie wouldn't eat Jell-O for a month after watching ''The Blob'', but she demands to be allowed to watch ''The Wolf Man'' with D.J. and Kimmy. When Jesse caves in, she winds up scared by that too, and he winds up dragooned by Joey and Danny into helping her get over her alarm by playing a slacker teen wolfman in an improvised skit.
