Newscoma and Cuppa Joe are celebrating Halloween with scary movies this weekend. I’m not a big fan of horror films. Life is scary enough. I’ve had to deal with real gore and know that I react on auto-pilot until the crisis passes and then collapse into a puddle of weeping goo. Why would I deliberately make myself feel uncomfortable? If I get sucked into watching something creepy, Doug knows he’s going to spend the night being awakened every few minutes and sent to look for the source of every noise I imagine hearing. Still, I do have a few guilty pleasures that fall under the Halloween category. Some scary, some campy and some that are just plain embarrassing. My Halloween movie fest includes:
Ghost Story
The Lady in White
Shaun of the Dead
The Frighteners
Poltergeist
Fright Night
Lost Boys
An American Werewolf in London
House
Night of the Comet
Ooh, we just watched House II last night. (House was the scary version, yes; but we wanted to watch something with the kidlins.)
Methinks it’s time for a good Wrong Turn and Hills Have Eyes fest.
Shaun of the Dead….
Love it.
And Ghost Story just wigs me out.
Saw 1408 on the way from Beijing to Singapore… not a movie for those about to stay in a hotel. Excellent flick for everyone else.
