I LOVE them, it's my favourite genre! I have all the films you've listed on DVD (except Tenebre or Suspiria) and Jaws is definitely in my favourite top 10 films of all time! I also loved The Shining, Jack Nicholson is fab! The Exorcist was great but I liked the book more. The Grudge was creepy...Hostel was a good one too. Oh there're all good! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838008635965872830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-53844462163603646472009-08-17T23:04:45.962-04:002009-08-17T23:04:45.962-04:00I agree with Susan that the topiary change from th...I agree with Susan that the topiary change from the book to the movie in The Shining was disappointing - but I still think the movie was effective - I don't like watching it alone, but I can't stop myself!<br /><br />Silence of the Lambs is a goodie - the sequel with Ray Liotta was more sicko but for spine tingling chill the original kicked ass.

I do a bit of research before I will watch one. I want the bang for the buck!<br /><br />Rhapsody - that is good! I try to include at least one non-commercial movie in the bunch. I'm waiting for C.B.

Nothing offensive there! Oh, I would definitely go see a movie version of The Historian.

When I finally did, I was right...shoulda left it alone!<br /><br />I was disappointed in The Shining after reading the book. The way they changed the animal topiaries bugged me. Jack, however, was exemplary.<br /><br />Hated Pet Semetary and refused to read another Stephen King book after that.<br /><br />Silence of the Lambs was gruesome, but the acting and directing were great.<br /><br />I hate all vampire movies, but if they ever make one from <i>The Historian</i>, I will have to watch it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-79342538145219438492009-08-17T11:22:38.868-04:002009-08-17T11:22:38.868-04:00Interesting list - this is the first one I've ...Interesting list - this is the first one I've seen for the meme that has some I've never even heard of!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-26645332600935111832009-08-17T10:15:51.130-04:002009-08-17T10:15:51.130-04:00Melody - I did see The Ring AND Ringu (I think tha...Melody - I did see The Ring AND Ringu (I think that was what they called it in Japanese).

The people in Blair Witch were too stupid for words, so I could avoid being scared by yelling at the idiots on the screen (why don't they listen to me?).<br /><br />Did you see the original The Haunting? As in the B&W 1963 version. Perhaps because I saw this movie when I was younger than 10, but it's such a scary movie that I get scared just writing out the title!Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-52951448589618360822009-08-17T08:25:34.103-04:002009-08-17T08:25:34.103-04:00I enjoy a good scary movie every now and then, but...I enjoy a good scary movie every now and then, but the thing is, very few actually scare me. It's the same with books, and it makes me sad. Being scared by a good book or movie can actually be a lot of fun. Anyway, like Melody I was going to mention The Ring. That one really did scare me!Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-62349050311991734832009-08-17T06:40:50.255-04:002009-08-17T06:40:50.255-04:00I knew you'll mention Jaws!
