Mostly kids stuff for me as well. Introducing my three year old to The Great Pumkin Charlie Brown, Garfield's Halloween, The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone...hey...at least they're classics that I still enjoy!
* Shamefully...I did recently watch Hocus Pocus...by myself. Don't give up hope on me yet horror fans...I have a 100 + horror movies and hoping to start my Halloween run soon.

I saw EDEN LAKE awhile back and really enjoyed it. My best friend watched it with me and he was like "meh" but it was a movie that sorta stuck with me long after the credits rolled, ya know what I mean? It kinda "ruined" my day, hahaha. But as a horror movie it worked. It was POSSIBLE and those movies always scare me more than Boogie-Man stuff.
I have TRICK R TREAT in my house but havent watched em yet.
I watched the 70s movie SQUIRM sober the other day. Something told me I shoulda done a Beer Run and that somethin was right! But its a movie I remember them playing on channel ALL THE TIME as a kid so i felt like I should finally watch The Whole Thing.
Been watching a lot of GOOSEBUMPS and TALES FROM THE CRYPT with my daughter. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, I thank God for GOOSEBUMPS. Its made watching "scary shows" with my daughter so much easier. Its like from GOOSEBUMPS you work your way into watching stuff like TWILIGHT ZONE,TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE and TALES FROM THE CRYPT.

Has anyone seen the remake of Last House on the Left? I hear mixed things about it. Some say it is really just brutal and terrible. I really don't have much stomach for the torture stuff anymore like Hostel, Saw, etc. I still love my scary movies, but find myself drifting back to the old school stuff a little more (Halloween, Friday the 13th, Children on the Corn, Saturday the 14th Strikes Back ).
I am sure my parents had a fit when they saw that stuff back then, what we were watching and were probably just disgusted. Probably just showing my age more than anything.
But what of The Last House...? More like old school horror with more "jumps" and "scares" or am I going to see stomach turning stuff...you know what I'm talking about I am sure.

My teenage nieces hated it , were thoughoughly disgusted. they say there is no entertainment value in watching people get beaten raped and tortured. As a horror enthusiast I have to agree to a level. I much prefer suspense and The Chase then watching these movies where people are held captive and slowly humiliated and or tormented.
I havent seen the original LHOTL since I was a teenager but I remember not being very "moved " by it. then again - I like I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, so what do I know?

I watched an old movie (dont know if its from 70s or early 80s) called DEAD OF NIGHT. This might have even been a Made For TV movie: not sure. Well, anway, it has three stories and while the first ones a dud and the second one is only mildly better the third one was a keeper (I had heard about it over the years so thats why i was looking to rent this) Its called BOBBY and its about this mother who has a Satanic ritual to try to bring her son back from the dead. And it WORKS. But liek so often happens in these movies he isnt the sweet little boy he was when he died anymore! He's E-VILLLLLL! My daughter loved it and ended up sleeping in my room alst night so while it didnt scare the crap out of ME it did work wonders for her!

I did see Let The Right One In. Highly enjoyable,but I was not as moved by it as the accolades the critics were pouring on it. Still, good story, good visuals and nice and moody. You will most likely find good stuff to like in it.

Well, I just rented The Deadly Friend. My sister loved that movie and we had fun watching on Turner South (GA). They fuzzied up the gory parts but it was still fun. And since it's my birthday tomorrow, I'm going to be watching whatever movies I want. Sleepy Hollow (Tim Burton) Evil Dead 1 and 2 Army of Darkness The Lost Boys Casper (for my kid) All my Vincent Price movies Teenage Zombies (old old old and cheap cheap cheap) I need to get to Wal mart if they truly have Fright Night.

Blood Cult is a bad b-movie Buffalo, but it is a classic and has a cult following. I couldn't find it on youtube so I will post it up there myself. I'll give you the link to part 1 after I do.

Oh I absolutely love Prince of Darkness! This was an 80's movie (1987), so of course it rocked, but it was just so cool on so many levels. Truly a "John Carpenter movie" from beginning to end. The stark title card. The random non-sequiter style scenes and jump cuts. The great low, grumbling, repetitive synth soundtrack. Just filled with great visuals and "boxed in" kind of claustrophobic feel to it.
A good effort to be more than just a "start introducing them and start knocking 'em down" horror flick. It took a shot at physics, theology, the nature of the universe, good and evil and was filled with great lines like Anything traveling faster than the speed of light would appear to be going backward in time. and What is it? A secret that can no longer be kept.
And the oscar goes to... Posts: 253 | From: ILLINOIS | Registered: May 2009 | Site Updates: 0
