Scary Movies

[thop]

Hmm must be different taste in movies though. There is no splatter or in-your-face shock value there, but suspense and atmosphere. Maybe you suffer from short attention span syndrome

By the way Ribsteak, better stop by the gas stations and fill your gas can cause that movie is being redone and is coming out mid October.

Horror movies these days are simply not scary. As for Friday The 13th, I believe they have stopped trying to make it scary and are concentrating on making them funny. And they are quite humorous. While Nightmare On Elm Street have gone frome scary, to funny, to pure stupidity.

Scary movies?

Carrie freaked the hell out of me. And I only saw that 3 years ago.

The Shining, or The Shinning according to The Simpons was anopther that was spooky.

Psycho II
Poltergeist


On the subject of horror movies, I was talking with a friend at work today about this subject.

Anybody remember a made for tv movie called Dark Night Of The Scarecrow? It was released in 81. I was 9. It was scary as hell back then. Not sure about now. I've been trying to find the name of the movie for I don't know how many years.

The synopsis is:

Misguided townsfolk, blinded by bias and fear, mistakenly kill a mentally retarded man after someone accuses him of raping the young girl he had befriended. Shortly thereafter the entire town is beset by a supernatural terror. The story originally aired on television.

*The mother had dressed up her mentally retarded son as a scarecrow and the sherrif and deputes killed him, not realizing he was in the scarecrow costume.


There was another movie I saw the same night I saw Psycho II that I don't recall the name of. 2 parts I remember vaguely. A man walking under an overpass in a park, smoking, on a foggy night, and a kid peeling off the eyeball of a white teddybear and the bear started bleading. I know the title had the word White in it.

It was scary as hell back then simply because you were 9 years old... that's why

Same with me, now at this age we know its nothing more than a movie with actors and actresses you see almost every day on TV.

My scariest movies have always been those that are based on good vs evil...religion related, similair to Poltergeist because such entaty exists.
