I love the idea of it... being able to walk through someone else's brain with all it's cobwebbs, crumbs and monsters.<br /><br />Churlita-- Yes, that was a scary one too! I'd forgotten about it. Excellent choice for really creepy. It,like the original Night of the Living Dead, had a quality to it that caused the prickles to run up your spine.<br /><br />The Exorcist was one of those films that introduced us to better make-up and tricks. It seemed so real didn't it?Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-73327537801260141612009-04-20T13:08:00.000-07:002009-04-20T13:08:00.000-07:00The original version of the Haunting scared the cr...The original version of the Haunting scared the crap out of me when i was a kid.

The world is certainly ugly enough without make-believe ugliness. <br /><br />But I also feel that horror stories serve a purpose... so that we can see that sometimes monsters can be and are defeated, no matter how ugly, no matter how bad. <br /><br />I see hope.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-72827721449406388852009-04-19T03:58:00.000-07:002009-04-19T03:58:00.000-07:00I can't watch horror movies.

Not the kiddie song I used to sing to my little 'uns. <br /><br />I think part of why I like The Cell so much is because of the richness of the colors and sounds. I'm very into color, texture, sound, and emotion causing things. It has a lovely dark background base with vivid bright color. I loved that!<br /><br />Yep, I'm about as big a geekie gal as you can be. Though I am not science smart like you. I like it, just don't know all that much. Not science trained. Amateur. Sigh.

I prefer the scary horror, but will put up with the gorey stuff if it's scary too. <br /><br />Cell didn't scare me, I thought of it more as a detective thriller, but I did enjoy watching it.<br /><br />Both versions of the Body Snatchers have creeped me out. The final scene with Donald Sutherland haunts me to this day.<br /><br />The original Night of the Living Dead is still scary to me even though I've seen it many times. There is an eerieness to that movie that is not often captured by directors. <br /><br />BTW have you ever seen the original Jeepers Creepers in the dark? Don't watch it alone.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-25358254582398734192009-04-18T10:56:00.000-07:002009-04-18T10:56:00.000-07:00billy-- My turtle "Lindbald the Explorer" seems to...billy-- My turtle "Lindbald the Explorer" seems to be weighed down by her name. But your billy is a real go-getter! Long live the turtles! Hey, enjoy the Cell. : ) It occurs to me that Zombie races would be rather dull.<br /><br />Laughing-- When I saw Night of the Living Dead, I was home alone in an old creaky farm house. Nothing is ever going to make that spooky feeling go away! I love all the versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Donald Sutherland is so great in the second one. He can be so creepy.<br /><br />All-- I hope everyone watches the bunnies version of Night of the Living Dead... it's the only I watch!Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-65034032670485417562009-04-18T08:43:00.000-07:002009-04-18T08:43:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ananda girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578471199205376974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-61963538127654017532009-04-18T07:57:00.000-07:002009-04-18T07:57:00.000-07:00I like the second version of The Invasion of the B...I like the second version of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers best, probably because I saw it first, but I saw it when I was maybe twelve and it did give me nightmares for a while.<br /><br />I have similar nightmares about Alien, but I tend to just sit back and enjoy them now.<br /><br />I also saw the remake of Night of the Living Dead (the one with Patrica Tallman) before I saw the original, so the original did not scare me that much.<br /><br />I have never seen any of the SAW movies, so maybe that would still scare me. But there are different levels of scary films, and I think that SAW is just probably on a level that I wouldn't enjoy.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176829704548523811.post-75496259911325831072009-04-18T07:35:00.000-07:002009-04-18T07:35:00.000-07:00you sold me, the cell is on my list.
