America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Halloween and Horror Movies
All the movie channels are loaded with them. Any favorites? Any ones that are too graphic?
They started showing the Saw movies but I couldn't get past the one of them so I stopped.

Now, i cant stand any of them. Not scary, just shock factor
Jason vz Freddie was pretty good if you feel like wasting time with a silly movie
The books are very scary as well.

I don't care for the chop-em-ups. Do like a good ghostly movie though - for lite and funny, 'Haunted Mansion' or 'Casper'. For scary or eerie - Bram Stokers 'Dracula', or something like 'The Others' with Nicole Kidman, the 'Sixth Sense'...with the passage of time 'Poltergeist' and 'Amityville Horror' seem a little cheesy. Not a fan of Stephen King but 'It' and 'The Stand' are watchable.
ps - Scariest movie I've ever watched is 'Helter Skelter', because it was about real people, I suppose...closely followed by the 'Ten Commandments' - for a child that 'fog' was the stuff of nightmares!
Oh, I forgot - scary, not ghostly, but 'The Omega Man' with Charleton Heston and the loosely based remake with Will Smith.
Steve Railsback (Manson) made that movie.
Then you would hate my favorite Rob Zombie flicks, House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects with the delightful Captain Spaulding.
Hellraiser is another classic.
And although you don't like Steven King, I think The Shining is one of the best supernatural thrillers ever made.
And I'm a big fan of the Evil Dead movies, by Sam Raimi, with Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams.
Your assessment is probably correct!
Not my idea of a fun evening tensed on the couch, dodging juicy gore and blood spray while yelling 'Look behind you, you idiot'!! :grin
On your recommendation though I'll give 'The Shining' a try.
If you have time to read, and enjoy supernatural thrillers, Dean Koontz is the best. His earlier works, Watchers, Lightning. Twilight Eyes and Midnight are 'better' (relative term) than King's. Couple of half-azzed attempts have been made to portray Koontz' thrillers to the big screen but have failed miserably.
my daughter had a friend over last night to watch a cabin in the woods, that's one of her generation's favorites
The Voice must have taken it's memory place. :grin
