Pretty sure that's the reason for my clown phobia (really not fond of popping balloons either... or fortune cookies if I think about the movie). The giant spider bothers me more than Pennywise.

Watched IT when it was on TV in 1990. Read the book shortly after (not allowed to read Sweet Valley High because they might kiss or talk about drugs, but I could read about killer clowns... and VC Andrews w/ its incest story lines).

Oddly enough it may be the only movie I can watch with a clown in it and it's one of my favorite books.

I totally will. I usually watch films* I've already seen while surfing the net, writing etc. When it's a new film, I sit and watch it and do nothing else. I haven't had time to do that yet with all my job hunting action going on. But I plan to watch LTROI (and The Orphanage) before Halloween.

*Also, if it's a foreign film I've already seen I sit and watch it and do nothing else so I can read the subtitles.

I have a list a mile long. Many of those were supposed to be watched by Isaac and myself as part of his cinemaducation program. But mega-party planning has kept us too busy. I hope we can get one or two of them in, but I'm doubting it.

Are you sharing pics as you did last year, that party looked awesome.

Am I the only person that really doesn't like horror/slasher movies? They don't scare me - they bore me silly.

Yes.

I see it as any other genre of movie. Lots of times it's the same plot, but that could be said about a lot of Westerns, Romantic Comedies, etc.

GD is not a fan either but for different reasons.

I used to watch horror films all the time, but the idea of watching movies alone, now THAT bores me, though I've resigned to that a few times here and there. Perhaps on the Friday before Halloween when I have the day off...

I hate slasher movies, except for the original Halloween.

Even the rest of the horror genre rarely scares me, though some of them creeped me out the first time, yet I love repeating my faves without that sensation.

Some "horror" movies were never scary, i.e, vampire flicks, but I love the genre.

Other movies that originally scared me, such as Poltergeist and Return of the Living Dead, are fortunate enough to have copious comedy elements that please me forever.

Alas, Return of the Living Dead is the only one Isaac got to see this year, and that was in preparation for the awesome Hollywood Zombie Walk last weekend.

We're supposed to go thru Creepshow, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Sweeney Todd, Young Frankenstein, Shadow of the Vampire, The Hunger, The Others, The Orphanage, Wolf, and The Blair Witch Project. All films on my list of some 25 Halloweenish films that Isaac has never seen.

If we were to hit only one or two, any suggestions??

Bram Stoker's Dracula is one of my favorites.
