  1. I love scary movies!!! I can't wait to read your review of The Crazies! That movies looks good!

    Paranormal - haven't seen this yet
    28 Days Later - Love it!!! Anything end-of-the-worldish is tops in my book
    Alien (series) - excellent
    Quarantine - pretty good but it would have been nice to have at least ONE person make it out alive
    Scream - love all three (yes, even the second one)
    I Know What You Did Last Summer - Excellent!
    30 Days of Night - gotta put this one on my list
    American Psycho - never got through the whole thing, just seemed more weird than anything else
    Blade - I love me some vampires
    The Amityville Horror - I prefer the original one but the remake was surprisingly good
    House on Haunted Hill - I think I've worn out my DVD of this one
    The Ring - pretty good but not one I watch over and over again
    Ghost Ship - LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! The musical montage at the end is my fave part
    Resident Evil - another one I watch over and over again
    Dawn of the Dead - again, prefer the original but the remake was pretty good too (not too keen on the fast zombies)
    The Descent - not sure I've heard of this one
    Black Christmas - or this one
    Haunting in Connecticut - I liked it my hubby did not
    The Mist - Every now and then, out of the blue, the last scene will pop into my head. God! What a horrible thing to happen!!
    Drag Me To Hell - not sure I know this one either
    Cloverfield - LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
    The Hills Have Eyes - Is this the one where, at one point, they get stuck in an outlook thingy and the bad people torch it to get them out?
    Shaun of the Dead - I'm not sure there is enough space in the internet to express how much I love this movie! "Alright, you're dead and you hate it."
    The Ruins - Not sure I've even head of this one

    My list would have to include the following:
    The Thing
    Night of the Living Dead
    Evil Dead
    Thirteen Ghosts
    The Exorcist
    The Omen
    Fallen
    Children of the Corn (I can recite most of the dialog)
    I guess all Stephen King

    Well, I could go on and on but I'm out of time. Thanks for helping me kill some time before I could leave work and enjoy my weekend!!
