The Shining is on right now, brrrr! I can watch it for a little while, then I get too scared and have to turn it off. I have been watching bits and pieces for years but have never watched this whole movie from start to finish-always get too creeped out!

OH I have watched it too many times to count. For me it was always the naked lady in the bathtub that scared me. I watched it again the other day. Jack Nicholson is just one of the creepiest guys to watch. Reminds me of a gremlin... then I imagine he's not too much different than the parts he plays.. Something about him that really gets me... Have you ever heard of him playing any parts where his character's name is NOT Jack?  I think he was called that when he played the devil in Witches Of Eastwick too. Jack Napier aka the Joker on Batman.. He's always a Jack. Jack? Hey.. now his face would scare people who come up to go trick or treating at your house.. Great idea for a carved pumpkin face ay? ;D (Oh that was so mean.. I should be ashamed of myself for saying that.  ) |

;D Yes you are bad, Miss Charlotte!
I think he can be creepy too but I guess it's the hotel itself that scared me. Haunted houses are a really scary thing for me for some reason.
AMC, American Movie CLassics on my cable is having a fear fest-scary movies around the clock until Halloween. Most of them are too scary for me but I can't resist peeking in!

the shining!!! that was a very good movie! i thought jack nicolson and the boy who played danny were brilliant and made the movie. urgh, shelley duvall annoyed me to no end...that high pitched, whiny voice...puuuurlease!!! ;D
i can watch that genre of movies anytime. i'm fearless. not to say i'm not sitting on the edge of my seat or jump at the right moments at horror/thriller movies, but i have no problem watching...speaking of a jump, does anyone remember jaws? when they were at the sea bottom checking out a sunken ship and that head popped up in the opening? ;D Oh my goodness!, i jumped!!! i was 12 when i first saw it, but i'm a glutton for punishment, went to see it 6 times at the theatre ;D

I loved Jaws. I scare really easily but for some reason I could watch that one. I loved the actors in that one too, I've seen it quite a few times. And I remember that time your'e talking about, I jumped too!

Yeah I used to love those old horror movies.. I liked the thrill of scaring myself.. I'd dare myself to see how I'd do while watching them... (Still, this was not always so.. when I was in grade school.. I hated these type films.) As a teen I would watch them a million times. But back then they were not as realistic as they are today. I used to challenge myself to see if I could debunk "HOW" they pulled off the scary parts. Even the blood most of the time was laughable. Sometimes it would look like ketchup, paint or some dark black stringing goo with only a hint of red. ;D Then if someone fell off of a roof or a cliff you could tell it was some dummy. Or if someone had an arm bit off you could tell they had it strapped behind their backs most of the time.
Still, I wish I never did watch those movies. I have many images stuck in my head even today. Fake or not they are still there for me to recall. Then here we are 30 years later.. I still say it was Ollivander who gave birth to the first alien. I LOVE that guy as Ollivander... he's so adorable to me.. but when I refer to him, I say that. Then for me Alan Rickman playing Rasputin.. well not a scary movie but still, not a kid friendly one at that. Then there is the first Dumbledore.. I still see him hanging there by the skin of his chest from the movie A Man Called Horse. To me, that was graphic.
I guess though, some images are better to have in there.. My favorite memory of Jaws was when they blew him up.. Loved that air tank idea. Next you hear happy music and see sea birds feasting. Then there goes Roy Schrieder and Richard Dryfus paddling back to the main land. ;D
STILL... just because I mentioned what all that I did.. I'm not saying that I don't like a good scary movie. The first Poltergeist movie was my favorite. I love the spooky ones that make you get chills. I love watching them on a cold late night with alll of the lights off.. all snuggled up on the couch under my fuzzy blanket. Nope... not pulled up to my eyeballs either. There are not too many spooky ones made anymore.

OH...I can't tell you how many times I watched Poltergiest when I was young! My friend and I would have sleepovers all the time, and we would always watch it!
Then there was the Chucky movie...the first one...my friend and I (not the same friend) thought that that movie was much more comedy than scary...it was just TOO far from reality...we laughed through it, mostly.
I tend not to like blood and gore stuff...whether it's for a scary movie, or a more realistic (ie: war) movie. One movie I like but can't watch (if that makes any sense) is "Saving Private Ryan" There's a part where an enemy is killing an American soldier, and just before it happens he's begging for his life, and I just can't watch it. That whole scene is just too morbid, and now I can't watch any part of that movie, becuase all I think about is that awful scene...

...and now back to FANTASY!!! ;D

Ahh... So what do you deem as Fantasy? Hmm?... Hey a Fairy Tale? I guess... I wonder about that move called Tangled... I think that would be a funny one to see. Many people keep looking at that one and think at first it's Rupenzel, but it's not.

Over the weekend, I went to Red Box at the local grocery store after doing my shopping and saw that they had The Wolfman, the new movie..
So I rented it, watched it, LOVED IT!
I highly recommend it if you like to be scared out of your shorts.

Ooo Thanks for posting this. I completely forgot about that movie. I was wanting to see it but decided that I would probably want to see it as long as I have a remote in my hand, to fast forward through any gory scenes. Sometimes, movies like this go overboard with the gore but still have a good storyline. I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday... I might just try out one of those redbox rentals myself. That reminds me... I need to go set up my surround sound system.  |

Thanks for posting about the movie Wolfman to be out. I had wanted to watch it but worried about seeing it at the theater. I really don't like the gore but did watch this film once you reminded me that it was around. I love to watch films like this while holding the remote just to rush the gross parts. I loved how the film seemed more like in the traditional sense... like the old films. For me when I think of a werewolf I don't see it like Lupin was seen in POA... but more like the old black and white films, with the hairy face and hands. I rewatched this one more than once before I turned it back in. OH Fangsfan. I was just talking about that film.... Elf. I was telling a friend of mine how I seem to love to watch the obnoxious films just to laugh... even if they are so bad. It feels good sometimes to find someone sillier than I am. ;D Oh and my daughter watches them with me too. That particular film... Well... back when she was about four years old we found out that she has a talent that no one I've met could compare with... SHe can outburp any fully grown burly man if you get what I mean. Out of that little girl comes the loudest, deepest and longest sound you would not believe. So when that part comes around in the film where he drinks an entire two liter of soda pop in one go... then burps enough to match the amount.. Well... his is the only one I've ever heard who can come close to what she could do... and HIS was done in more than one take... She is the real thing and I am so proud. ;D |

My favorite Elf scenes-the snowball fight, Buddy and Joby's first date, Buddy the elf coming to New York and eating the used gum like candy, the duet in the girl's bathroom(Baby It's Cold Outside). Oh and Buddy decorating the store for Santa's coming!

Oh and Buddy decorating the store for Santa's coming! OH no... I had that song stuck in my head for a week. I thought I was going to go nuts if I heard it again. ;D And it did take me a couple of times watching it to notice him eating the used gum like candy. I mean, Santa told him that was not free candy. But I'd have to say my second favorite part of that movie... Had to be when he went bazerk yelling in the store how excited he was to know that SANTA WAS COMING! The look on that guys face just cracked me up! I nearly peed myself for laughing. ;D |

Has anyone seen the 1977 animated movie Wizards? www.imdb.com/title/tt0076929/It is a movie about two brothers one being good, (Avatar) and the other being evil, (Blackwolf) and they war with Avatar on the side of magical folk and Blackwolf the side of humans. Even though it is animated it is rather adult oriented with violence, nudity, and some sexual references so don't watch it with children in the area, but it is a rather good story, and it is chock full of memorable lines. |

Yes, I do remember seeing that flick some years back, oh when I was still married.
What I do remember is that it was as Rallem said, a very ADULT oriented movie.
Hmmmmm....

I just got back from seeing the new tron movie. As a child I never got to see the original on the large screen since the only movie I ever got to see in the cinema as a child was Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
