What do you have for Criminal Minds?
"Bloodlines"?
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

Incidentally, Strega, how do you feel about Assignment 6 for Sapphire and Steel?
Hm, it's been a while since I've rewatched that one... it would probably be improved if it didn't have absolutely all of the revelations packed into the last episode, but I kind of like that it goes for unsettling more than spooky.
And to be fair, I was a bit distracted the first time I saw it, trying to place Edward de Souza. Then I realized he played the Master in some Who-adjacent audios and felt much better.
...Wait, did you watch the whole series already? Yow.

Also, is there a Buffy episode you think is scarier than "Hush"?
Probably not overall; "Conversations with Dead People" might be a close second to it. But I still think the most powerful horror of the series was in the brief glimpses we got of Monkey's Paw!Joyce at the end of "Forever," though.

Nope, just research. They only have S1-S4 at my video store. Anyway I was watching "The Incredible Doktor Markeson" an episode of Thriller with Boris Karloff and Dick York.

That is pretty horrific.

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

Ooh, good call.

Hey billytea, have you seen any of the "A Christmas Ghost Story" series that ran on the BBC throughout the 70s?

I have not. I don't know if they were shown in Australia, I can't find a reference thereto.

A Christmas Ghost Story - mostly adapting M.R. James but also Dickens. Ran from '71-'79, then revived in 2005.

I actually found "Conversations with Dead People" way scarier than "Hush". "Hush" was brilliant, but I didn't find it frightening.

You're right; the sections with Dawn and Willow both have genuinely horrific moments. And even Buffy's scenes with Holden have a sense of dread and apprehension to them.
