(actually that would be terrible and not make any sense what so ever)
Maybe, but wouldnt it have been hilarious to see alien werewolves disembark from the spaceship at Devil's Tower?

I think I mentioned this to Roifollo, but there are alien werewolves in Moonbane by Al Sarrantonio.

If there was to be a spoof of Close Encounters, this must be included.

I don't believe you did in words, but when you mentioned the book and I looked it up I found out that there was. I'm quite interested in check it out yet as the dog beasts in Star Trek/Wars always intrigued me as well.

When A Stranger Calls (1979)

I finally decided to sit down and watch this "classic", and I have to say that I was half-terrified, half-disappointed. It's a movie where I loved only certain scenes, while other scenes were a labor to sit through. When A Stranger Calls is a 1979 thriller is about a babysitter who gets creepy phone calls during the night, and when the calls are traced by the police, it starts a deadly chain of events that haunt her for years. This film is infamous for the first 20 minutes, and that alone makes this movie watchable. The opening scene of When A Stranger Calls is agonizingly terrifying, especially watching it alone in the dark. It's without a doubt one of the best openings to a horror film I've ever seen. Up there with The Ring and Suspiria. However, after the first 20 minutes, the film takes a huge nose dive. I don't want to get into too much detail so that I can avoid spoilers, but I'll just say that it goes from a terrifying suspense film to an unfocused, dull cop revenge thriller. The sudden tonal shift is rather jarring, but I could have forgiven that had the film been much more tight and controlled. It seemed like an hour of filler. Fortunately, the last act of the movie returns to the suspense nature of the first act, and it becomes almost as thrilling as the start of the film. When A Stranger Calls is bookended by some of the scariest scenes in cinema, and that makes this film worth a watch. It's worth laboring through the middle 45 minutes.

5/10

Yes, if by "laboring" you mean "fastforwarding." Thanks for the tip horrorcrux.

Yes, you could skip all of the middle section, and the movie would be 10 times better and still make complete sense.

I know it's the last seen but as I will be watching it only a few days away on Saturday I am talking about it now. Jaws!! Must be watched on the 4th of July! Usually I watch on the big screen at a local theater but all the annoying ppl ruined it last time so this year it's me and my fairly new 55" TV enjoying in quiet, dark bliss!!!! I feel excited like a child waiting for Santa Claus!!! Or like myself waiting for Halloween to get here and it arrives!!! EXCITED!

I love Jaws too. It's a must watch at least a few times every summer. A bunch of us went to see it last weekend for the 40th anniversary. Big screen, big crowd, big bucket of popcorn!!

I'm jealous! I would have loved to see it on the big screen again. I remember seeing it when it came out, and LOVED it!

I may have to interrupt the HP marathon to watch Jaws. :)
