Holy dancing Christ that is one hell of a scary movie. And I've come to expect the glaring omission of When A Stranger Calls (again, not mentioning the remake. Crap, I just did.)<BR/>At least they didn't include Scream.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-55786776213980136642008-04-02T13:46:00.000-04:002008-04-02T13:46:00.000-04:00Well put, sir!Well put, sir!Chloehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01476140531812554266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-47090387993090086872008-04-02T13:41:00.000-04:002008-04-02T13:41:00.000-04:00Yeah - there are two types of GREAT HORROR FILM in...Yeah - there are two types of GREAT HORROR FILM in my opinion: scary as fuck, shiver and shudder inducing frightfests, and fun as fuck, full on twisted entertainments...

Surely you're delusional!<BR/><BR/>It's totally a "safe" list, and I'd imagine they're catering to a crowd that's...uh, I don't know. Interested in the safe? <BR/><BR/>I think the stuff on the moors in <I>American Werewolf</I> is great and scary...and maybe the subway killing scene. Most of the rest is great, but not so scary. To me, anyway.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see [Rec]!!!!! And I've heard about Frontier(s), and I want to see <I>Inside</I> / a l'interieur as well.

No risky picks. But it's still a good list. Although I don't find An American Werewolf in London scary in the least.

The Nightmare on Elm St. one was awesome and really did feel new.
