I hate to admit it, but when I saw
The Exorcist for the first time, I couldn't help but giggle. Dunno why... and it wasn't from excessive alcohol consumption (I don't think--Halloween 2003 is pretty hazy).
The
Alien trilogy bugged me for the longest time, until I actually sat down and watched all three in a row to try to scare myself. Instead, they're now in my top 20 favorites because they're sci-fi.
The tiny bits of
House of 1000 Corpses and
The Devil's Rejects that I've seen looked interesting to me, and indeed scary, but nothing to be too worried about.
The movie I refuse to see?
The Day After. I did some growing up in Olathe, KS with family in Salina, Kansas City, and Lawrence. nowadays, just seeing the locations gives me chills.
