Halloween....I used to like going to horror movies. Halloween. Nightmare on Elm Street. Jeepers Creepers just about did me in. I remember movie called The Changling (c.1980). Ghost story. George C. Scott plays a guy who moves into an abandoned house, starts hearing things. A ball that he'd thrown outside in the rain bounces itself down the stairs all soaking wet. Great stuff.<br /><br />Don't like the horror stuff anymore. Maybe 'cuz the day job is scary enough???Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663703767093923242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-62761016292789130862010-10-28T17:24:14.047-05:002010-10-28T17:24:14.047-05:00Oh, man, I so don't like to be scared.

Loved loved loved Silence of the Lambs, Sixth Sense...I really like the psychological thrillers. The scariest movie I ever saw was the Exorcist, because it's a lot easier to believe in the devil than it is to worry about a chain saw massacre...!KylieBranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02521116390801346909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-8741409949842742942010-10-28T16:16:43.625-05:002010-10-28T16:16:43.625-05:00RED rocked, Lois.

"Whatever you're going to do, do it fast." Kick butt heroines. Love it. I liked Constantine, too, but have only seen it once. will have to check it out again.<br /><br />There's not much that scares me in movies. Don't like the slasher-let's-see-how-much-blood-we-can-splatter type flicks, but I love the suspense of a honest to goodness scary movie.<br /><br />Bring it!Helen Brennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680081195181747377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-28469278913100432282010-10-28T13:41:06.329-05:002010-10-28T13:41:06.329-05:00So with you, Hauf.

How about not even ONE viewing?<br /><br />Keri, I'll have to try that. Maybe if I INJURE my husband, he'll stop SCARING ME! lol<br /><br />Lizbeth, I'm totally with you. If I mistakenly get involved in watching a scary movie, it MUST be followed up by a comfort show -- cartoons, Love Boat, The Sound Of Music...:)<br /><br />Great blog.

I miss a lot of "good" movies because I can't stand terror or a lot of people punching, slicing and shooting. Give me a fairy tale or a great action movie (where the bad guy dies only once -- anyone remember how many times Gary Bussey got up and needed the crap beat out of him in Lethal Weapon? Sheesh)<br />Yup -- I'm a wimp. So enjoy all the scary movies for me everyone!LizbethSelvighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14068753571254601527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-79861418373551866192010-10-28T08:33:40.055-05:002010-10-28T08:33:40.055-05:00na-uh, no way, no how.

I have accidently punched/slapped/elbowed the husband a many of times because he walked up behind me (not planning to scare me, but did anyway). His reflexes have gotten better now that when I jump, he hikes it back a couple of feet.<br /><br />I don't do horror flicks or kooky things or haunted houses. I can occasionally tolerate a creepy tale, but I follow it up with an hour of beloved cartoons so I can sleep.Keri Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342480359177235075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-82694040000972412322010-10-28T07:16:26.973-05:002010-10-28T07:16:26.973-05:00I am a newly converted horror movie fan. Never us...I am a newly converted horror movie fan. Never used to like being scared, but now it's kinda fun. Still not big on the slasher films where a dozen or so college or high school kids get cut up in inventive ways. But I do love "critter" movies, where something alien or overgrown or lab-created runs amuck. <br /><br />And talk about being "formulaic"-- most of the time I can pick out which characters will die andsometimes even how. Is that because I'm thinking like a writer or because the writing/script is just simplistic or really transparent?<br /><br />Michele, I'm a big fan of Constantine myself. It gets even better with third and fourth viewings! Movies with religious background and exorcisms have always scared me-- except a few of the cheesy ones. The ones with little kids (Omen, anyone?) tend to freak me out. But they have to be GOOD. Some of the recent releases ("Orphan, anyone?)just don't make the grade.<br /><br />"Aliens" (#2) is still one of my all-time favorite movies, as is "Predator." And yes, I went to see and LOVED the "Alien vs Predator" flick with kick-butt actress Shana Latham. I am really thrilled that "Predators" is coming out soon and will be there on opening night!Betina Krahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11379124690406269848noreply@blogger.com
