recommend a genuine movie that will scare the **** out of me please!!

Phantasm and Phantasm II, both very different films but both, I would say, pretty scary, especially for first-time viewers who know nothing about what they're going to see.

The first film gets points for being scary and also very quirky/funny. Both films get points for being weird as well.

Horror of Dracula?

The Exorcist still does it for me. Disturbing as hell.



To whoever was having trouble finding "Let's Scare Jessica to Death":

It is being released on DVD in the very near future. Just punch it in on Amazon and you'll see it.

The Discovery Channel has a tv series out now called 'A Haunting' where each episode is based on a real haunting event.

The pilot movie for this series (which is really a documentary) is called 'A Haunting In Connecticut'.

It's about this kid who needs cancer treatments so the family moves to a big house in Connecticut to be closer to the hospital.

The rent was dirt cheep for such a big place.

Construction workers are still there doing some rennovations when they move in.

Then down in the 'lab' they find a big knife and some mortuary equipment so they realize it was a funeral parlor.

I guess you can use your imagination about what people had been doing with dead bodies down in the lab. This activity opened up a portal directly into hell (similar to The Ametyville Horror which is also a true story).

Anyway things go from bad to worse until finally 'the man in the suit' starts appearing to the kid with cancer down in the lab. He eventually becomes possessed.

There have been some great episodes of this series including 'The Haunting Of Summerwind'.

This week one was on where this kid had an imaginary playmate he called 'Man'. But then man starts telling him to cut up his teddy bears, urinate in the closet, etc., because it would be 'fun'.

Normally when a demonic presence occurs in a house certain areas will turn deadly cold.

Perhaps those creatures absorb all the energy out of the area I don't know.

Still it is interesting.

I guess it's very cold in hell not hot like people think who knows. But when something is very cold it actually burns.

For me these shows are more than just 'scary'. I cannot keep recordings of these types of movies around. If I do the evil spirits start attacking me.

I had been watching The Ametyville Horror part 2 quite a bit. This is really a PREquel since it goes back to before the first movie.

The creatures started calling up and leaving these weird sounds on my answering machine. I didn't realize it at first but they were actually talking backwards.

If I had saved that tape and played it backwards I could have heard what they were saying. They were probably talking in Latin or something like that.

Maybe it's better that I didn't do this.

I can't keep certain movies around like The Evil Dead, The Ametyville Horror, or any movie that shows the pentagram symbol.

I had 'A Haunting In Connecticut' recorded on my cable box but the man the suit appeared to me. He told me:

"We have a mutual friend."

The problem is the home viewing experience is that you're in your home - you're safe.

If you really want to be scared, watch a scary movie outside. I used to do this as a kid. I'd spread a blanket on the lawn, turn out all the lights, run an extension cord out of the house and then watch NOTLD or TCM or Halloween or The Exorcist outside - where they can sneak up on you!

the nightly news scares the hell out of me. . . i usually switch over to everybody loves raymond which, while more disturbing, is far less frightening

I like the idea of watching movies outside...I have watched a couple of movies outside in various circumstances and it's been kind of fun....the best one was certainly "Creature from the Black Lagoon" projected on a portable screen in front of a pool at the local Y.M.C.A....this was in 3-D, now, and the admission was like $3.50, and there was a whole bunch of people IN THE POOL trying to watch the movie with their 3-D glasses, which were made of cardboard so their glasses all basically melted after ten minutes or so. But the effect of watching a water-themed monster movie, at night, in front of a big pool, that was priceless. CFTBL isn't the "scariest movie ever made," but it's certainly not un-scary, and it still works quite well.
