Paranormal Activity, out today, is a scary movie in the vein of The Blair Witch Project in that it seems to be filmed by the characters in the movie. The characters are a couple who start experiencing some eerie happenings in their hotel room and decide to film it, and word is, it's the most terrifying movie in a long time.
Confession: I'm a bit of a 'fraidy cat, but I love a good thriller with an enthralling plot, which is why I might see this movie (OK, I might wait for it to come to DVD when I can hide behind a blanket in my home, but whatevs). I eat up movies where the scares are based on genuine thrills, but that's as far as I go.
When it comes to the horror genre, though, I'm averse. Gore doesn't scare me in that fun way — it grosses me out and gives me nightmares. However, I know plenty of people who live for the grossest, ickiest, slice-and-dice horror flicks (I'm looking at you, FabSugar). But for me, the Scream movies are the goriest I go — and yes, I'll be seeing Scream IV opening day. Which kinds of scary movies do you prefer?
P.S. Speaking of the most terrifying move ever, I might be asking your opinion about that very thing . . . very, very soon. Stay tuned.
'Tis the season (and now the day!) to be scared out of your mind! While some people might be headed out to party the night away, many folks will get together to watch terrifying movies tonight. Of course, what scares people in movies varies from person to person. The suspense of a movie like Psycho turns some into a ball of nerves. For others, the idea of being possessed by a demonic spirit, as in the classic scary movie The Exorcist, will do the trick.
Personally, I still feel a chill down my spine when I think of the creepy, snowed-in hotel in Stephen King's The Shining and I'd prefer to not even talk about 28 Days Later because it was too traumatizing. Now it's your turn: What is hands-down the scariest movie you've ever seen?
As Halloween approaches, I'm naturally thinking more about scary movies — including the ones that spooked me but good as a child. There's a good reason why parents keep us from some of those scary movies! A little while ago, I asked you which frightening movies you may have been too young to see, and your answers were varied and comforting (I'm glad I was not alone in my fear of The Gremlins and The Lost Boys!). Here I've collected some of your childhood memories of being freaked out. Do any of these still scare you?
It's the last weekend before Halloween, so let's celebrate with some scary movie trivia! How well do you know your spooky films? Take my quiz and find out!
