I have to agree with a lot of you - it seems that most "new" horror movies rely on blood and gore and not enough on good scripts. Hard to find a good horror movie to watch nowadays. meri

Has anyone mentioned yet "Something Wicked This Way Comes" that's one of my middle son's favorite older movies - it is sort of scary, but not too bad, more suspense and circus freaks than horror. meri

Quote: Yes! Awesome movie and it scared the pants off my boys just because of the suspense! THAT WAS THE NAME OF THAT MOVIE!!! I spent all afternoon trying to remember the movie with the windowpane that had a triangle crack in it!!! I LOVED that movie. Just the right amount of scary...

I do have to say, however, that one film I wouldn't let them watch was Nightmare on Elm Street - that one even gave me the heebie jeebies for awhile. I think they didn't get to see that one until they were about 16 or so. meri

Quote: Malcolm McDowell is disturbing and just plain weird have you ever seen Cat People where he wakes up after shredding the um... lady of the evening... and grabs a piece of her off of his stomach and eats it while grooming himself for the day? Just thinking about that makes me...

On the other hand... my middle child and his friends watched a movie at his friend's house once. They were going to watch one movie, after he called and asked if he could stay - as it turned out they changed their minds and watched "A Clockwork Orange" instead. sheesh!! He was 16 at the time -...

My first horror movie was when I was 7 years old - my sister and I snuck downstairs after bedtime to watch Dracula (the one with Frank Langella) I almost peed my pants because she wouldn't go to the bathroom with me, and I wasn't about to go alone. meri
