Really? I would save Carrie. "...Not Carrie?!? Really? I would save Carrie. "They're all gonna laugh at you!" Okay, it's equal parts camp and horror, but we always have fun when we watch it.<br /><br />We once went to a live stage production of Carrie in San Francisco. We were encouraged to shout things and the actors, and yes, we were given a little bag of things to throw at them in a certain key scene. <br /><br />I know, we should be ashamed. But it was a night to remember.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-34106173168124656432010-10-26T22:09:14.446-04:002010-10-26T22:09:14.446-04:00Ok, ignore part of my previous post.

I did read <i>Bag Of Bones</i> as a teen, though; it scarred me for life. <br /><br />Many years later, I went out on a date with a man who knew how much I love to read. He brought a copy of his "favorite book" with him, passing it over with a look of great pleasure on his face. I thought it was really sweet that he would go to the trouble to make such a gesture, and was totally won over... until I actually saw what it was. <br /><br />Yep, <i>Bag Of Bones.</i><br /><br />It's haunting me.

Basically anything that could, without too much of a stretch of the imagination, actually happen!<br /><br />Scariest movie I ever watched (and I'm not sure how it got past my highly advanced scary movie detection system) was "What Lies Beneath".

I would love to see Pet Cemetery sometime, so I am going to have to add it to my queue. Some of the later made for T.V. movies I have seen have been pretty wild as well. Have you seen Kingdom Hospital? It was totally strange, and though it's a big time investment, I think it's worth watching.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-20032016445000837382010-10-25T11:14:52.598-04:002010-10-25T11:14:52.598-04:00The Shining is awesome, but King didn't like t...The Shining is awesome, but King didn't like that (*SPOILER*) Kubrick killed off Hallorann. I thought that was a cheap move, too.<br /><br />Have you seen/read The Mist? The movie is even better than the book & has such a brilliantly eerie ending. Carrie is also very good but the book is better. Does Shawshank count as a scary movie? It is the best Stephen King book-to-movie but I don't think of it that way.<br /><br />Love this meme--keep up the great work! I'm going to post my 100 favourite movies very soon.

It will be stored away for future motivation though - another good lesson sports teach us.<br /><br />I am actually surprised that you selected The Shining. I had my money on either The Stand or Shawshank from you! I was going to just do a random King movies list post, but Andy was being such a lazy Bumble in offering choices that I forced him to just pick ONE so he'd get motivated. And thus the solo selection topic was born.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-14422699184950492652010-10-25T10:33:34.970-04:002010-10-25T10:33:34.970-04:00What a bummer on the football game.

And oddly enough, I've never really seen Pet Semetary all the way through, not sure why since I LOVE scary movies. I might have to put this on the list for the weekend, huh?!Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-45397967114978243662010-10-25T09:50:04.132-04:002010-10-25T09:50:04.132-04:00I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son&#...I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son's football game. I was hoping that they would win!<br /><br />I think The Shining was a great choice! That was my favourite among all King's movies, followed by Pet Semetary. Carrie and It were great too!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.com
