what's the scariest ghost movie you ever saw?
Carnival of Souls.
Great. Now I can't stop thinking of Herk Harvey's creepy face floating behind the second story window. So much for going to sleep.
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.
'Serenity'
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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The Haunting of Hill House
That's the Shirley Jackson novel that was made into the movie The Haunting, right? I want to make sure you don't mean The Haunting at Hell House.

Is that the Roddy McDowall one?
I think Ju-On is my scariest ghost movie, though it's been so long since I saw Changeling that I can't be absolutely sure.

Yes. I always forget that the movie had a different title.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Yes. I always forget that the movie had a different title.
Cool cast, and Robert Wise consciously going back to his RKO Val Lewton roots (Cat People, etc.).
Claire Bloom (Philip Roth's lover of many years), Julie Harris, Russ Tamblyn (Amber's dad, Twin Peaks, West Side Story, 7 Brides...)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jilli, I am mostly with you on Wolfman, although I could have done with a bit less "eeewwww" and "Startle!" during the wolfy sequences.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I vote for the original version of The Haunting, though.
That and The Innocents top my list of old school creep-out movies.
Is that the Roddy McDowall one?
That's The Legend of Hell House. Which isn't a bad one either, though kids play compared to the book.
The Changeling
Also a truly frightening one. Scariest. Rubber ball. Ever.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, is The Crazies supposed to be good? The preview I saw was so-so, but check out this photo: [link]
Death by swather! Or maybe that's a combine. Still, as a farm boy I lament the lack of "death by farm machinery" in today's horror films, so this looks promising....

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I hope so, because I only find Josh Duhamel appealing or interesting in film. Las Vegas leaves me cold, yet give me the horror that is Transformers or 28 Weeks Later and I'm all "That's the same guy?! Want!"

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We're watching Anatomy of a Murder tonight in my law class. I've never seen it.
