Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Am I imagining things, or are some of those horror clips from comedies?

SJP face was frightening on KTLA. It was teh wrong color -- and there was Very Bad Makeup to cover up some major blemishes. She looked hideous.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Which ones? Everything that I was able to identify was from movies that I'd call horror movies, but I didn't recognize all of them.

On second thought, I'm not sure I'd say that Jaws is horror.

Because books.

It would be excellent if they actually knew what horror was. At least half of those movies were NOT HORROR. Having a scary scene in a movie does not make it horror. Jesus.

THANK YOU.

Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands? Not horror. Fun, but not horror. Also, any scene from Poltergeist still makes me flinch away from the TV.

holy bad hair.

and as a friend said " thinks that if you're going to do a tribute to horror movies, and say that it's been 37 years since the genre got any Oscar love (because that's when The Exorcist won two awards), you can't include anything from The Silence of the Lambs in the montage, because it WON BEST PICTURE AND ABOUT THIRTY OTHER AWARDS IN 1992!!"

OK, that dude's HAIR is a horror movie...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That wasn't a very scary montage at all. And being introduced by Lautner and Stewart lent it so little gravitas.
