Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I never really watched horror movies, and as a child I was scared by Grover, the Flying Monkeys, Puff the Magic Dragon, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and the Sound of Music.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I haven't seen Audition though. While I may be pretty hardcore about scary movies, I know my limits and something tells me a movie that freaked Rob Zombie out is going to be beyond them.

Yeah, I haven't seen it. I've seen clips, but not the entire movie.

I've only seen the MCR video based off of it. That's eough for me, thanks. Not really a fan of horror movies - I think I saw Them as a wee kid, and then Evil Dead and Lost Boys when I was 12(?), but nothing in between, and I never really got a taste for them. I mean, E.T. freaked me out in the theater, I think my parents realized that I'm not so much cut out for actual horror/suspense.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Juliana is me - I really don't enjoy seeing gore onscreen, so the majority of horror movies are a no-go from the beginning. The only ones I really like are things like The Others which are just good creepy stories, but for the most part I just don't bother with horror at all.

(Blair Witch did nothing for me beyond seasickness. I really couldn't figure out why three people walking in circles for an hour and a half was supposed to be terrifying instead of yawn-inducing.)

For me, Blair Witch's terror escalated throughout the film. The fact that you couldn't see what was out there really got to me. That final image of the one guy facing the corner of the basement just freaked me out completely.

Hey. New board.

The stupidest mother I've ever met rented Night of the Living Dead and The Shining for a sleepover I had with friends at age 7. We correctly giggled at the excesses of Night then put in The Shining. The other boys got bored and started talking about sports or whatever. I didn't.

Nightmares for years. I finally forced myself to watch it again as a senior in college, with a bunch of friends. I sat curled up and shaking through the whole cathartic process, and felt much better afterward.

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

When I was about three or four I saw a commercial for some TV show or movie... there was a woman in bed, and she looks up and there's a skeleton standing in her room.

That freaked me the hell out, and I had nightmares for years about that.

I remember seeing a movie on tv when I was in my teens (maybe? somewhere around there) which was about a young blind woman in a house I believe by herself. I don't remember too much about it, but I do recall an image of her filling up the bathtub to take a bath but not knowing that there was a dead body already in it. As the water filled up the tub, it got redder and redder, and she had no idea it was there. Really creepy!

I think the idea of someone fucking with an unknowing blind person really gets to me on a visceral level--Wait Until Dark really creeps me out in its Alan Arkin vs. Audrey Hepburn moments.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I had nightmares about the Dr. Phibes poster.

Always Anti-fascist!

Never been much for horror, because I never know what will freak me out and stick with me. But I can look at grisly casefile photos with no problem(I still wonder if that's not a past-life thing)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Anybody else see the thing where Karen Black gets chased around by an African fetish doll with a knife? Nightmare fuel for years off of that one, and it was part of a made-for-TV anthology movie.
