Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But then I've never gotten the Ruffalo appeal.

My mind is boggling at you as well!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

No Ruffalo for me, either.

On a scale of one to ten (and yes, you can go to eleven), how would you rate the clown-under-the-bed-scene in Poltergeist?

Maybe a seven? Though it wasn't even the scariest scene in that movie (the tree eating Bobby and the steak crawling across the countertop were both worse, IMHO).

Plus, you can never view the scene the same way again after seeing Scary Movie 2.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I rate it a 10, where 1 = total recall. Man, it's been a long time since I saw that film.

Yeah, it's way up there for me, cuz clowns are already evil. But I also have to agree with Matt that it's not necessarily the scariest scene in the movie.

The scene with the dude in the mirror is what flips me out. Body horror FTW.

I remember reading the novelization, and the mirror scene as filmed was WAY less horrible than it could have been.

Because books.

The thing in the pool with the skeletons always freaked me out, but just in an "Ewwww!" way. Also the guy in the mirror.

My favorite not-scary scene is still JoBeth Williams showing Craig T. Ferguson the chair moving in the kitchen.

Nelson, Amy. Craig Ferguson hosts a late night talk show, and used to be on Drew Carey. Craig T. Nelson was Coach, and in the Poltergeist movies.
