Title: Top 5 Scariest Movies...
Post by: rpm on November 01, 2004, 01:07:24 AM
When You Were A Kid:

5. North By Northwest

4. The Abominable Dr. Phibes

3. I Saw What You Did, and I Know Who You Are

2. The Birds

1. Psycho

Hitchcock movies just scared the **** out of me as a kid. I think it's because they seemed possible to actually happen. Dracula, Frankenstein, ect, all were more fantasy than reality to me.

1.  The Legend of Hill House

2.  The Blob

3.  Giant clams trapping divers movies.  Any scuba diving movie except for Sea Hunt, a tv series.

4.  A movie I can't remember the name of but had robots wearing scuba masks that shot out a beam that skeletonized people, and chased the hero and his woman into a furniture store up to the third story.  I think they killed the robot by pushing him over the railing.  I'll just call it Land of the Robots, for lack of knowing what the true title is.

5.  13 Ghosts

I watched The Shining back in '82, and my house burneg down.  I stayed with my girlfriend that night, and when we came back the next morning, it looked like a 500 lb bomb had taken out half my house.

I missed all the fun.   Three alarm fire, neighbors thought I was in the house because my car was there.  Came back at 7:00 in the morning and it was hard to believe.  I was shocked and couldn't hardly speak.

The fire was so hot it melted a Japanese rifle barrel that was on the gun rack.  The only thing that wasn't destroyed was a titanium lighthouse mirrror (in that part of the house.)  And even it was charred black from over 2000 degree temperatures.

That girl saved my life.

The Fire Inspector came and determined the fire was of unknown origin.

The offficial blame was on a wiring short.  The truth was I had candles lit, and must have not blown one out before leaving.  They were not in dishes, but on plastic coffee can lids.  It was a meltdown.

How much did you have to pay the Fire Inspector to say that? Did he want a %age of the insurance?

He was quite intimidating Beet1e.  He had a .38 strapped on his belt and made sure I saw it.  I didn't pay him anything.  That happened 22 years ago.

Phantasm?

Man... I loved that movie... I laughed all the way through it.

No particular order:
Halloween
Jaws
Alien


It seems that horror and thriller movies are best for the young. Nowadays, the things my children will watch aren't scary for me. There's nothing new. No new surprises. It seems that scary movies today are just recycled scenes and ideas from the past.

When I was a kid...

An American Werewolf in London. (Probably still my favorite horror/monster movie).

And:

Evilspeak

I haven't seen any of this movie since I was about 9 years old, so I can't tell you if it was scary or not, but satanic computers and maneating pigs were a bit too much for me as a kid.

I have that movie sitting on my desk at home, via netflix. I'm still trying to decide if it will be better to watch it, and see how it is, or just let it live on in my memory "as is"
