Scary Movies

I've always had a very soft spot for The Hole. The whole story is told from the perspective of the survivor, who is horribly traumatised, and you have no idea how much of what she's telling is truth and fiction and you see the same events written and rewritten several times. I

Oh yeah! Now I remember that one. I read the book too. A good one for sure.

And thanks for mentoining Vacancy, neo. I couldn't think of the name. She is a hottie. :)
 
Wolf Creek (2005), a particularly gruesome b-horror flick with ok acting, not fab, but I'll never forget that "head on a stick" scene. Wicked freaky-scary.
 
"Re-Animator" was just plain disgusting--but in a good way.

It bore 0 resemblance to the H.P. Lovecraft story it was supposedly based on.

The scene where the heroine gets her pussy eaten by a reanimated head is a riot. Prolly the best one in the film. :D

And all of the old Hammer horror flicks with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were good too.

Hey, anything with Cuching is an automatic B-movie gem.

Speaking of headless oral sex, the Sci-Fi movie, "The Hollow," had a great scene like that. Guy goes down on girl, she's getting into it, and all of a sudden she gets frustrated. "Don't stop, damn it!" Then she reaches down and grabs the guy's head . . . priceless.

Oh, on Blair Witch:

It seems to me, not 100% but a good solid majority of the people who found it scary were city folk that have never seen a tree outside of the park down town......

I'll grant you that. I'm a city boy to the core, and BW scared the shit out of me. But I can see where bucolic sod-busters might find it almost soothing.

The Grudge has to be one of the creepiest movies I have ever seen, and I love scary movies. The beginning is kinda slow but once it gets going your skin just crawls.

Steven King's books are great but most of the movies just aren't as good. Although the trailers for "The Mist" look really good.

I finally saw a preview for The Mist today. I was intrigued until I saw the giant insects. I dunno . . . something about that sort of killed the mood for me.

I remember when, as managing editor for my collegiate newspaper, we decided to host a midnight premier of Stephen King's Sleepwalkers.

*groan*

Everyone who attended saw the movie for free, but even that fact didn't keep a good number of them from shaking their heads and wishing they had done something else that night.

King is pretty hit-or-miss when it comes to his movies, especially when he takes an active role in producing them. I'm sure The Mist will bring out a lot of viewers, and granted, I'll probably see it. And, who knows? I might be pleasantly surprised.

Personally, I hope the Gunslinger series makes it to the silver screen. Roland might be hard to cast, though, since Eastwood's too old for the part. ;)
