It still does it. Excellent writing and acting in this one.
    I read all things Stephen King then! Scared the "gooney-goo goo" out of me!! Too much of a scaried-y cat to sit in a dark theater and watch!!��

    If you get a chance, NY63, watch NOS4A2. It's based on a book written by Stephen King's son and it's got some genuine creeps in it. Regarding Stephen King, I gave up watching movies based on his books because the movies all fail to understand what keeps me jumping in the printed word. His books are great. Have you read the Dark Tower books? One of the greatest writing projects in history IMO.

    That movie was awful. Like most of them. The new It was scary like the book though.

    The first books in the "Dark Tower" series were excellent but the final one was disappointing. Stephen King confessed to not finding them easy to write.

    I enjoyed them all because he put every one of his other books in the same universe. How could you easily write eight books that were full of Easter eggs from literally every novel you wrote in a long and prolific career? I know a guy who has read every one of his books and he probably ran back and reread them after the Dark Tower. And if I didn't make my opinion clear, that trash movie was a trashy trash dumpster fire of movie trash. But I expected it to be, so I'm only upset that they blew the chance to do something good.

    Does anyone remember the great 60s Horror Films produced by Hammer Films from the UK? Peter Cushing starred in a number of them.

    Yeah, those Christopher Lee/Peter Cushing Dracula and Frankenstein movies were great. A local low-powered TV station recently started airing old episodes of Hammer House of Horror.

    Speaking of which, one of the best double features I saw with my big brother was an old Christopher Lee movie [[Island of the Burning Damned) alongside Dinosaurus. A pretty solid horror flick and a dinosaur movie was little boy heaven. I was probably about 10 at the time. This is the first one:

    Classic horror film. Used to keep me up at night. I think that one and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds are the two movies that stuck with me the most as a boy. And curiously, neither of them had a traditional "monster".

    Oh, and also Night of the Hunter. Not a traditional monster movie but I submit it was a horror film of the highest order.

    Watched it again about a year ago and it's still great. This one was too:

    I think It Came From Outer Space was ahead of its time for many reasons. The use of the theremin along with the creepy alien's perspective holds up to this day. They used a theremin in Day The Earth Stood Still, too.
