I like some scary movies. So many today seem not to have a storyline, they just want to "out gross" each other.
I don't like blood and guts type movies at all. I prefer the ones that make you think at the same time they scare you. There is a term for that, I just can't remember it right now.
I loved Signs for just that reason. It made me jump at shadows and squeek in fear a few times, without really showing you what you were afraid of. Music and sounds, stuff going bump in the night so to speak, are what made it a good movie to me.
I like the first two Alien movies for the same reason. The other three just seemed to get progressively more lame. The first is however still the best to me.
I managed the first two Freddy movies, then lost interest. Never saw any of the Halloween or Friday the 13th movies, just not my type. I did watch the Ring, and that one severly creeped me out in the end. Had to quit watching it the first time I saw it. Reminded me of one I saw that I can't remember the name of. Older guy had a handicapped son he drowned in a bathtub and this younger guy kept hearing the phantom thumps and stuff.
I used to like the old Twilight Zones, but I had to quit watching it after the one of the posessed dolly. That one STILL gives me nightmares after 20 someodd years. Hubby took me to see Chucky when it first came out, and I had to walk out after 20 minutes because it reminded me of that Twilight Zone. {shiver}
I don't go out of my way to see scary movies, but once in a while one will come along that interests me. Usually I end up dissapointed, but sometimes they are worht watching.
