They give him the shivers! Last year I tormented him with Hostel - which was just gory.<br /><br />The Blob was very cheesy upon later viewings.

I think it's a terrific movie & one I can watch over & over. Jody Foster is great & I liked Matthew McC here & I think it must be because it s one of his earlier gigs when he was a normal guy actor.<br />The Blob is an awesome movie, so corny & kitsch which is what I love about it. Every once in a while it's shown on the scifi channel & worth watching for a good laugh!<br />I don't recall ever hearing about Paranormal Activity. I'm going to check Netflix for this one!<br /><br />The Ring is totally scary but there are some other Japanese horror films that scared me a little more. Of course I can't remember the names - I have to do some research!<br /><br />Great list, Sandy!<br />~ AmyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-11915399603973458182010-10-04T13:34:48.624-04:002010-10-04T13:34:48.624-04:00I liked Paraormal Activity a lot, and the Blob was...I liked Paraormal Activity a lot, and the Blob was great fun.

Here's some others I thought of:<br /><br />The Exorcist--scariest ever, IMO<br /><br />Alien & Aliens--best in sci-fi/horror<br /><br />Poltergeist--still not bad<br /><br />The Mist--the best recent horror/sci-fi I've seen (from Stephen King novella)Teacher/Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280690822570558469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-15172624544720853962010-10-04T11:23:27.987-04:002010-10-04T11:23:27.987-04:00I agree with you -- there is just something about ...I agree with you -- there is just something about Contact that is so appealing! I felt like it was a very well told story and seemed so much like what I imagine could happen if alien life forms really did try to communicate to us...Jodie Foster is incredible, and McConaughey sure helps it, too! :)<br /><br />The Grudge -- *Aweome!* Creepy! There's a part where that creepy chick is reflected in the train (or was it a bus?) window so unexpectedly, and all I know is I ended up behind Jason, with no memory of screaming and jumping and hiding! :)<br /><br />The Ring -- Agree with you completely. SPOILER to those who haven't seen it: The way that chick just started coming out of the TV at the end!!!! Aaggh!!!!<br /><br />The Ring and The Grudge -- loved them the best!! Have you seen Halle Berry's Gothika? Not bad!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-14076869367319964922010-10-04T09:16:47.433-04:002010-10-04T09:16:47.433-04:00I agree about The Ring - pretty darn scary!I agree about The Ring - pretty darn scary!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-12854472088620288322010-10-04T08:38:09.054-04:002010-10-04T08:38:09.054-04:00Have you ever seen District 9?

I actually had to stop watching it for a little bit, and then go back to it later because it was just such a difficult movie for me. I'd be curious to hear what you thought of it of you've watched it.<br /><br />I like your choices, and also thought that The Grudge and The Ring were pretty scary.<br /><br />I don't watch many horror movies much anymore. I just don't handle them as well as I used to!!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.com
