| If you could choose only 2 movies to watch on Halloween night to scare yourself silly with, what would they be? I would check out the classic "Halloween" directed by John Carpenter and the Japanese version of "Ringu"! <shudders> I have yet to find any multimillion dollar remakes that could ever best the 'cheaper' originals. |

I don't like horror flicks because they scare me and throw off my inner self. But the ones that scared the daylights out of me when I first saw them were Psycho and the The Exorcist. I was young when the Exorcist came out and that's when I stopped watching horror movies, except for the Silence of the Lambs series, which I watched, which scared me and grossed me out. |

| I thought it was considered a good thing to confront our fears? I wouldn't want to be as scared in real life like what happens in the movies, but can't horror movies help prepare us to better know how to deal with hatchet-wielding maniacs in hockey masks? Seriously though, I realize that most of these sorts of movies are exploitative, but can't they teach us something more about ourselves too? Are we brave enough to want to do something about our deepest fears? I haven't been able to watch a really good horror movie alone at night for a long time, but creepy ghost stories still fascinate me for some reason. |

i like certain types of horror stories but there are certain ones that i almost can't bear to watch....like the saw series. and there is an old one with the guy who was ''rifleman" who smothers a girl slowly with a kind of cement paste while he tells her what he is doing and what she is going to feel....auggghhhh slow painful torture is unbearable for me....give me a well placed quick slash of the machete, the whack of a hatchet or the stab of the knife and i am good to go |

| Ooooh, I agree with you about the "Saw" series. After squirming through the first one, I couldn't make myself try the sequel. One of my co-workers bragged that she and her friend watched the entire marathon non-stop! Of course, she also admitted that she had to cover her eyes and ears at certain moments, hehe. |

NYers call it "Harrah", right?

| I know this isn't usually considered a horror classic, but it'll always be a Halloween classic to me: "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"! I think I'll watch it after the 'scary' stuff so I can give my fluttering heart a break, hehe. |
