Definitely a horror movie for the kids and also quite enjoyable for the rest of the family.

Personally I would've liked to see the alien monster get a lot more screentime tho. That would have made Super 8 good instead of just okay in my book.

But we don't see enough horror movies starring kids these days. We should.

I definitely agree with you there. The same goes for novels too. My three favorite horror novels are all about kids fighting a monster/supernatural evil.

You're right about IT, which is my favorite novel by the way but the other two are The Traveling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon and Ghoul by Brian Keene.

I did really like The Shining though. Havent read Summer of Night but it looks like my kind of thing. I'm definitely gonna have to check that out.

"It" is my favorite book of all times as well. That ending...

Summer of night has such an IT feel to it, but it IS completely different horror wise.



Are you telling me Laymond has made a novel that ISN'T about a serial killer??? :eek: :D

It was amazing. I have to read it again sometime. I'm really gonna have to read Summer of Night. Haha about Laymon. I know, a lot of his stuff has serial killers but he has a lot of other novels about monsters and things that are really good like his Beast House novels.

Yea, danish publishers suck. We miss out on a lot of good stuff over here.
