Is the sun up yet?

I don't watch scary movies. I just... no. Not unless I'm in a brightly lit room full of other people I can cling to. But here lately B's gotten it into his head that I should watch Ju-on which is SO not gonna happen (and can you believe they've already churned out two sequels?), but he's been trying to build me up to it.

Last night was The Village. Only a few moments of suspense, but the ending twist pissed me off so bad the whole movie's a write-off. Trust me, don't get me started, I'm still pissed. And then tonight was the new Exorcist, The Beginning. Joy.

Yeah, I won't be going to bed any time soon... So what do I do to pass the time? Put on The Duel. Wonderful farce, spoofing the kung-fu genre... great for making all the scary shadows in the apartment go away. ^_~

oh, i thought juon was crap. some scary moments, like the creepy boy, but awash in a lot of hokeyness.

village pissed me off too! not scary at all, even though i'm usually easily scared.

I'd like to see the new excorcist actually. you'll have to tell me how it is.

speaking of kungfu farces...you could always put on shaolin soccer! i love that movie!

The reason they all wore yellow in The Village? Cause they were cowards! Too afraid of the real world that they holed up all alone instead of trying to make it better... and that ending! Like I said, don't get me started.

Beau says Juon was pretty weak, but what about Event Horizon? Every time he talks about freaky-type movies, that's the one the others have to top. If you have something better, he wants to know.

The new Exorcist wasn't all that bad. Had me jumping a couple times and I didn't like dark rooms the rest of the night, but I've seen worse.

And yeah, I love Shaolin Soccer! Have you seen Kung Fu Hustle, by the same peeps? Now that's silly. ^_~

Try these pictures.

These films may not scare but they will entertain and some are very gory. I will not be responsible for nightmares, freak outs, or gross outs. Please watch at your own risk. Now for some really scary media I will not watch:
Infomercials with Cher, Night Ranger Videos, Cat Woman with Halle Berry, An evening with Wayne Newton, A Bee Gees concert, Any interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger promoting ones of his movies.

...but the Bee-Gees are sparkly!^^
ooh, hadn't heard of Terror Train--or the original Thirteen Ghosts--always glad to get more movie recs! Is Juon the same as Ringu? Which someone told me to watch rather than the Am. version of it? Ahahah, I managed to write a research paper on the Thing movies! And got a good grade! College profs are strange and wonderful!^^
I absolutely refuse to say how many times I've seen "The Fog".
hiiiii^^
