Still not seen Underworld 3, had it on DVD for ages, number 4 out in January.

I love the Mummy Films except for the last one, which was a bit lame. I may watch them if I get a chance.

evolution is quite good but it is missing an important cast member in black rubber

 

[DaveC]

Well, she's back in the next one, in 3D!

 

[pip]

January is just to far away

 

[meerkat]

I may squint at Primeval as well. Scares me, some of them!

 

[michelanCello]

I don't watch any horrors... it's scary!

 

[David Brown]

...warlocks are a Vicorian invention...

Not according to the Oxford English Dictionary.

 

[Quatermass]

I'm not a fan of horror films. But I might watch my copy of Let the Right One In.

 

[deldaisy]

I have Insidious ready for tomorrow night

*snore* Could not have been less scared by that film.

I'll watch some zombie films I think, and something Japanese - those people know how to write a ghost story (watching the original Grudge I almost wet my pants).

Gotta agree with Dotsie on this one.

We have that SBS station here that shows all foreign movies. The only truly freak me out for days movies I have ever seen are from Japan or Korea. WIll ask the teen what the name of the last one was. Soooo scarey.

 

[chris.ph]

skinwalkers is crap

 

[Quatermass]

Hello Dave? Is that Dave?

Well, now that I got that obligatory League of Gentlemen reference out of the way, I just wondered, DaveC, if you have ever read House of Leaves. This is a pretty disturbing book, but a good one.

 

[DaveC]

No I haven't. Do tell.

 

[Quatermass]

No I haven't. Do tell.

Well, let's just say that it is an excellent psychological horror novel with more layers than a mutant onion. But the base story, stripping off the layers, is about a house that grows more interior dimensions, rather like a malevolent TARDIS.

House of Leaves, by Mark Danielewski. Get it from the library at the very least. It's a good Halloween read.

Just don't blame me if you want to put measuring tapes all over your house...

 

[deldaisy]

Hello Dave? Is that Dave?

Dave's not here man!

 

[DaveC]

Hello Dave? Is that Dave?

Dave's not here man!

I think Q meant this!

 

[deldaisy]

I like mine better

That book sounds good though.

 

[SpideyGirl]

Hello Dave? Is that Dave?

Dave's not here man!

Cheech and Chong!

 

[DaveC]

I'm starting off my horror season light with Eight Legged Freaks!

 

[Quatermass]

Hello Dave? Is that Dave?

Dave's not here man!

I think Q meant this!

Got it in one, DaveC!

I love The League of Gentlemen.

Hey, speaking of which, given that it is a mix of comedy and horror elements, try The League of Gentlemen and the, uh, pseudo-sequel, Psychoville.

I like mine better

That book sounds good though.

You should see the 2001: A Space Odyssey version...

The book is excellent, but it's also pretty scary. House of Leaves.
