Anna, That sounds too cool to see Nosferautu in a big cathedral with organ music on Halloween night! That was such a ghastly vampire in that movie with the bald head and those sharp rat like teeth sticking out! EWWWWWW!!! I'm surprised a church would allow a showing of a halloween type horror movie!
BEB, The party treats sound dang good to me! I am planning on sending you a little birthday surprise next week and will include my recipe for my HI POWER EXPLOSIVELY GOOD TEX MEX CHILI   with a disclaimer...not to be eaten or digested near an open flame A cauldron of magical mystical authentic Kansas chili....yep I like that! I guarantee it'll "blow" everyones socks off!!! As for the "head"...she was always perfectly coiffed (if she wasn't wearing her turban bandage) beearringed and lips and brows done nicely... I think eventually her hubby disconnected the two electrodes to her brain so she had more mobility and was able to follow him around the room by turning her neck...she then started to play "mind" games on him...by which he would throw a towel on her head temporarily silencing her...except for her sinister little cackle.  
If I keep a green bough in my heart, the singing bird will come. |

KIm!!! Do you mean Plan nine from Outer Space? I LOVED that one! It was that Ed Wood movie...the worst movie voted ever made in HollyWood! Did you ever see the movie Ed Wood with Johnny Depp? It was great.... He used trash can lids on wires for the flying saucers in Plan Nine!! I have never seen Night of the Living Dead...was it made in the 60's? Have you ever seen The Fearless Vampire Killers with Sharon tate and Roman Polanski? It was really stupid! The Thing was really creepy too, the one done in the 50's was better. As you can tell I am a real B movie buff. Marlene, What is a Samhein celebration?

If you want creepy and weird, watch Japanese horror films. That remake, Dark Water starring Jennifer Connelly, wasn't all that scary: the original Japanese version gave me the creeps! And I'm the one who usually laughs through horror movies. Pet Cemetery was an utterly ridiculous movie, and I LOVED the book! I used to read horror books WAY past midnight, being the only one up in the house listening to the clock tick, tick, tick as I read the scary bits...
I LOVED Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. I howled through that one! The Exorcist was a good scary flick though. I saw that at a sleep-over way back when and it creeped us right out! This Halloween, I'll probably watch Sleepy Hollow, the Crow and Nightmare Before Christmas; all suitably Halloween-y fare. Although, I might be in the mood for some Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock. |

| Hah! I'll probably watch Meet Me in St. Louis for Halloween, to forget about the date! Well, there is a Halloween scene in that one, too..."I killed Mr. Bronstein!" (or whatever his name is) |

| Oh, right - the Braukaufs! That wasn't our idea of Halloween, either, but that whole movie is so sweet, I got the feeling they weren't really out to hurt anyone. Although, burning other people's property in the street is pretty vandalous...Personally, I would do away with Halloween. Otherwise, I love Autumn! |

I'm with ya Shirley, I love the fun of halloween, the kids in cute costumes,the chocolate, the dressing up, um...did I mention the chocolate.
But i don't like the scarey stuff. Or the creepy stuff, like blood and gore, or the whole dark side.

OK, women ! I am sixty years old and can not watch the scary movies that you talked about. My grandchildren thrive the scarest but "Grammy" gets a book and goes to her room. (When they are watching them here)
The scarest movies to me are the ones that could be real----exam: beautiful setting, woman calmly washing dishes after dinner, everyone has left and she is alone. Then the camera scans to french doors and the music begins (you know some one not friendly is walking toward the door ) I turn off the TV and froget it !!!!!
What can I say? I'm a chicken. |

My DH doesnt like any of those scary kinda movies either.
He doesnt trust me anymore about to pick the movie we might go to. gheez, only because when Cijo(DOG movie)came out I told him we were going to go see a DOG movie. Of course it starts with scary kinda music and thats a dead give away. So now he always wants to know all about the mmovie before we go. LOL
poor guy, but I dont want to go by myself. :(
happy halloween

In high school I could not watch the Omen or the Exorcist, they were just too ...horrible! I am a scary movie wimp like alot of you but do remember some crazy movies I watched as a kid (though who knows why!) Vincent Price was ALWAYS creepy and Bucket of Blood and House of Wax were two really over the top weird ones. What about that movie that had the giant pods come to earth?! I like "War of the World's" broadcast with Orson Wells because it "happened " right near by. But the all-time freak me out movie was called "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" and starred Kim Darby as a young married, pregnant woman who moved into a family house where the one stipulation was not to unboard a fireplace that was all closed up. Well you guessed it she does it anyway and what came out of it scared my 14 year old brain into never watching another creepy movie again! Years later my husband found it on tv and was laughing saying "This, this is what scared you?" , I took one look and ran from the room! I just have far too active an imagination to invite this creepy, horror, gloom and guts in the door.
Like Clare said... there's enough of that already going on!
Happy Hauntings !
with a happy heart |

Not very scary, but has become a favorite of mine for Halloween is Sleepy Hollow. The newer version with Johnny Dep as Icabob (sp?) Crane. It is just scary enough - especially when the headless horseman comes out of the base of the tree. I love it.

Oh My Gosh!! That movie brings back so many memories for me. Every December the merchants in our little town of Virden, IL would give away free movie tickets (the town actually had a movie theatre back then). When I was 7 my dad took my sister and I to the free movie and The Incredible Shrinking Man was playing!!! We both got so scared that we sat on my dad's lap the whole time!! I have to go turn on TCM!
GO WHITE SOX!!!! |
