Scary Movies
I don’t care for them. I know the Halloween season is the time to take in a good fright, but I’ve never been one for them. I know others that just love them. I just do see the draw to be honest. Have seen some. The first one I ever saw was Alien. I know it’s not a scary flick. It’s more of a sci-fi thriller, but it had the tense moments and gory scenes that put it in that sort of genera for me. Later in to my teen years, I had to watch Nightmare on Elm st and Halloween for film studies class. I didn’t really find them overly scary, but they where way past their prime when I finally watched them. Oh, and I took in The Ring when it was in theaters too. I wanted to see that because I really liked the concept and yeah… it scared me. The difference between those three and Aliens, is that I eventually learned to love the Aliens series. They’re probably some of my favorite movies. With that being said, you still wouldn’t catch me watching slasher or horror movies today. I get scared enough watching The Walking Dead.
Do you enjoy scary/horror movies? What’s your favorite one?

My Halloween movie list:
Frankenstein (1931)(natch!)
Dracula
Phantom of the Paradise
Return of the Living Dead
The Handmaid’s Tale (not a monster movie, but that stuff WILL scare the crap out of you simply because it COULD happen!)

I’m just finished with those mask-wearing-psycho-kills-naked-teenagers movies. They got to be cliched fast.
My favorite scary movies:
‘John Carpenter’s The Thing’
‘The Creeping Flesh’ with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. It scared the crap out of me when I was a kid!
‘Abbott And Costello Meet Frankenstein’ Not a ‘scary’ film, but I like it for the laughs.
‘The Exorcist’ Still pretty freaky after all these years.

around halloween i dont watch scary movies, i watch classic kids halloween movies. you know, charlie brown, alvin and the chipmunks, the cartoon version of sleepy hallow that disney did one time, things like that. i’m not a fan of horror movies, not because they’re scary but because they’re so predictable. i enjoy the Alien movies, the Predator movies, and all those other scifi movies that are somehow considered horror but thats because they actual have a plot line and the bad guy can actually be killed. the only actually horror film i enjoyed was Clover Field. and it was sort of sci fi alien type genre too. oh, and i liked the resident evil movies but i wouldnt say those are horror either.
