I mostly base it on my own experiences with what I was exposed to and what I can observe in my child. We talk about the films afterwards and she has a healthy understanding of it.
I should have clarified in the OP, I don't think sex is shameful or bad. It's not that I'm trying to hide sex altogether, I am only trying to keep the exposure to it at an age-appropriate level. When I said 'act inappropriately' I meant age inappropriate, not that sex is inappropriate in itself.
My child is 5 and she enjoys horror films immensely, we both do, so we watch them together.
Of course it is! Violence is not the same as sex. If your child sees something sexual it might harm them. A guy destroying a zombie versus a man having sex with two hookers. I think the zombie movie is the lesser of two evils. My parents did not permit me or my siblings to watch sexual things till a certien age. I also think its better not to teach them any bad habits early. Since if you have a 5 year old trying to pull his thing out to all the girls at school you are going to have some serious problems. Children bicker, wrestle, brawl and get in confrontations with other children. Should probobly teach them how to handle these type of situations at a young age. So they have to deal with violence at an early age anyhow. So yeah its very normal.
Is it normal to let child watch violent scenes but not sex scenes?

They made age ratings for a reason.
What kind of horror films? Give some examples please. It's hard to have an opinion without knowing more.
I was able to watch both and if I didn't want to see something, I wouldn't watch.
