So, I'm thinking about renting a some silly "scary" movies tonight for a possible party. I was inspired by the discussion of Alone in the Dark here a couple days ago. Anyone have any suggestions for something ostensibly "scary" that will 1, not horrify and 2, please a bunch of comedians?
Book: Where's the doctor? Not back yet?
Zoe: (beat) We don't make him hurry for the little stuff. He'll be along.
Book: He could hurry... a little.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, returning to an old topic, I rediscovered a movie last night that scared the crap out of me. It's the Tony Shalhoub remake (I think it's a remake) of 13 Ghosts.
t shudder

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

- Anything starting with "I Was A Teenage...";
- Anything produced by Roger Corman with a "scary" font;
- You probably couldn't go wrong with any of the recent remakes of older, scarier movies, but I haven't seen the 13 Ghosts movie that Dana mentioned, so I might be wrong.
Oh, and anything with Bruce Campbell in the lead is a good bet. I'd recommend Evil Dead II, which is pure slapstick.

Oh, I think that's generally a good bet.
Anything involving an "updating" of an old villain. There's one called something like...Dracula 3000? And the Jason movie in space.

Me being wrong? Heck, it's practically engraved on stone tablets.
If you don't mind a little chill, there's a high cheese factor in the great old horror movies, too: the Ray Wise The Haunting, The Innocents, I Walked With A Zombie. Plenty of grist for the comedy mill.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Young Frankenstein ?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There was a clip movie that came out in theaters like 20 years ago, that was all the "scary" parts of movies, which made them not actually all that scary. Called Terror in the Aisles or something.
