This week's Ten on Tuesday meme responses:
"Halloween is just around the corner, and one of my favorite things to do is invite some friends over and watch a scary movie (but not TOO scary because I'm a chicken). So in the mood of the season, share with us your top ten scary movies!"
This is really hard for me because . . . I find most "scary-movies" actually rather amusing (so sue me - I have a sick & twisted sense of humor!). I'm not sure I can come up with ten and, as a caveat, I must say that I won't go for the usual slashers (Halloween, Nightmare, etc.) as those are too predictable and cookie-cutter for me. Okay, here goes . . .
- The Omen (this one was scary);
- When A Stranger Calls;
- The Last House On The Left;
- Night Of The Living Dead (a little campy);
- The Vanishing;
- Se7en;
- Rosemary's Baby;
- What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?;
- Burnt Offerings;
- The Legend of Hell House.
And, an Honorable Mention goes to: The Amityville Horror.
Hmmmmmmmmm?!?, once I got started, it was a little easier than I thought. But, still, I had to "think" about it for a while as most of the movies that popped into my head that are classified as "horror" are more "camp-and-humor," imo.
