I dig zombie movies.
This one's a remake but it's done quite well.
I'm watching it now...

Dawn of the Dead, both the original AND the remake, were great movies. One of the few where the remake was good, actually. They were different films with the same premise, of course, but both incredibly enjoyable.

To clear up what was said above "torture porn" and "slasher" movies aren't quite in the same category for me (of course, there are overlaps). I like SOME of what Roger Ebert refers to as the "dead teenager movie", which was inspired by Halloween (the original), an absolute classic. I do not consider Halloween "torture porn", not even close.

And yes, Nightmare on Elm Street 3:The Dream Warriors was the other good one from that series (New Nightmare I didn't buy as much....).

On a funny note, I love how Stephen King considers Walt Disney's Pinocchio a horror movie. I mean, that whole donkey sequence is massively friggin' terrifying (specifically, the Lampwick -> Lampdonkey sequence).

I was supposed to go out to a friend's scary-movie-watching get-together last night ... but after reading this thread, I ended up get caught up in my lone, much more scary, scary movie watching.

I can't watch anything really scary at home alone. For instance, despite the hysterical battles with architecture and lesbianism, I can't watch The Haunting alone at home late at night.

Instead I watched Shadow of the Vampire and The Others. The latter is creepy, but not downright scary.

Um, except that I kept having this optical illusion happen during the film, which - considering the subject matter the movie foisted on my consciousness - I could only interpret as ghostly.

This white, shiny, sort of square FLASH happened in the small space of air between my head and my arm. Once, then twice. After the third time of this clearly visible silvery-white flash right next to my face, I had to turn the scary movie off.

Yikes.




I live right next to a cemetery. Ghosts don't usually hang out next to where their husks are buried ....




.... but some do.

I've been playing Resident Evil 4 on the Wii- loads of fun zombie action!

:evil:
I usually save this one for Halloween night, but I felt like watching it tonight...

The dishes in the sink are kind of scary...

I love how dated Halloween is. The hair, the bad clothes, the dialogue (totally!)...
