Too many!!!

And I think everytime this post comes up I'm in a different mood, so I list a different movie. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

"The Shining" - with Jack Nicholson
"The Exorcist"
"Psycho" - the original
"Sixth Sense"
"Alien"

i haven't found too many of the newer movies that have impressed me as much - they tend to rely on shock value more than actual plot; but "The Ring" movies were very good. I actually like the 2nd better than the 1st. And I like the remake of "Amityville Horror" better than the original (of course I also like looking at Ryan Reynolds! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)

Was it Meatloaf, or Frankenfurter that scared you the most?


Well Frank was a bit unnerving, in a manlady sort of way (no offence, love your work Tim), but it was all the spooky ghosts and vampires that scared me. And that bald Steptoe bloke, he was scary too. Actually I wasn't really scared at all*, well perhaps just a bit. Not really. Actually I find all processed meat products frightening.

*honest

I need help here... the first and best contemporary (then mid 70's) horror movie I saw has stayed with me for years but I can't remember the name. Maybe someone can help.
In an old house a crippled child had died (maybe in a metal tub?) When the house got going, you could hear the old wicker wheelchair in the attic run back and forth, there would be the bong, bong, bong sound of someone pounding against the tub sides, and one of those red, white and blue rubber balls would come bouncing down the stairs.
I was freaked out for a long time after, and I still get the shivers when I think of that ball especially. Funny how something so innocent can be something horrible.
Hope someone can come up with the name. I'd love to see it again.

I saw one when I was little, a black and white haunted house one that I'd love to find out about too. It had all the obvious ghoulies...eyes behind the picture frame, white lady etc....but the weird bit was a sculpture of a human ear above the bed that the frightened couple were sleeping in. At one point it twisted around and liquid came out and dripped on the petrified couple. I was only about 8 years old, and not mad then....so anyone know what it was?

Hmmm...while you are there I saw one with a bloodstain that couldn't be scrubbed away that petrified me as a child. Any ideas? (No it wasn't Macbeth!)

Not that I watched more than about a quarter of the movie (the rest of the time I had my head buried under the duvet), but "Critters" gave me nightmares for a year after my friend's brother dared us to watch it (I was 13). Those supernaturally fast balls of fur with evil red eyes and row after row of razor teeth, latching onto people and just shredding them. Urrgggrrrhhhh!

ROTFL ELLE!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can't remember how old I was when I saw that movie, but I remember thinking that if I could just get them to close their mouths they would be awfully cute! They made me think of the tribbles from Star Trek. <img src="/images/graemlins/beamedup.gif" alt="" />

No! Not cute! I was petrified!

After that experience I refused to go near another horror movie for 10 years! My hubby loves horror movies, so he gradually talked me into allowing him to rent one from the DVD store. Anyway, I notice he's now pretty much stopped hiring horror movies because he gets claw marks in his leg, and sometimes tooth marks in his shoulder!

It's the sound effects, I tell ya! That creepy tension-building music, I can't handle it!

Nnngghhhnngggh

The only thing that keeps coming to mind is the The Canterville Ghost

Could that be it?

That movie is in my top 10 all time favorites!!!
