[DaveC]

Just got Scareed Shrekless in Tescos for some proper Halloween viewing

Got it and watched it today. Really, really funny and creepy. Better than the majority of the films in just 24mins.

There is so much to make fun of in the Twilght films.


Just started watching Trick r Treat, brilliant Halloween film that must be seen.

 

[DaveC]

Watching The Thing (1982) - - maybe the last horror film this month as tomorrow is the start of a three day weekend for us and she's fussy when it comes to horror...

Which Dawn of the Dead? Either one is good but very different. Sounds like a great night.

How was everyone else's October/Halloween Horror Fests?

:whistle:

 

[Sister Jennifer]

I saw the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time the other night. It was quite disturbing in a way I didn't expect it to be.

Yeah its mostly in the mind, very well shot, not as explicit as you'd expect but that's always worse.

 

[Penfold]

I sort of prefer that in my horror films (like the shower seen in Psycho). With many of these 'slasher' films there seems to be a competition between film makers to find the most bizarre ways of killing people and throwing in loads of blood and gore which, in my opinion, desensitizes oneself to this whole genre. (I was bored of them after Friday 13th part 3.)

One of the scariest films that I saw was "The Changeling" with Edward Woodward (not the Angelina Jolie one) which relied totally on atmosphere and story rather than violence; and for sheer uncomfortable and scary viewing, "The Exorcist".
