No, I have read about the Last House On The Left and I have no desire to watch it. Rape scenes bother me too much.

My very first horror movie was at a church halloween party. I still remember that movie, it was scary, suspensful but not bloody like todays movies. Its from the 80's if you can find it. The watcher in the woods. Has Bette Davis in it.

Oh and The Others, with Nicole Kidman was good too, if you havent decided yet.

Well, I am waiting for Halloween.

We are going to have a bonfire. I was thinking of The Messengers.

There will be a boy there who has never seen a horror movie so I might get Coraline for them to watch with him. Its a kid move that we have already seen but it was creepy. The boy hasn't seen Pan's Labyrinth yet, so we might view that also. I will make the kids close thier eyes during certain scenes.
