The movie that comes to mind for me is Matango. It’s a 1963 Japanese horror film by Ishirô Honda (the director of the Godzilla movies) that IMDb describes as “Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms.”.
I was curious what other PG horror movies people like. I find a lot of the time the limitations or target of an age rating can become noticeable and distracting.
Easy:
Poltergeist. Only PG rated horror movie I actually still think is a little scary. Every time I have meat, I can’t help but think of that scene with the maggot steak, followed up by the face peeling. 🤢
That was my pick too.
Instead I’ll go with Ringu (1998)
