Horror Movies, boo! Options

[Katie]

Who doesn't love them? I used to be hesitant to watch horror flicks, but now I can't stop. Not new ones, though. The whole "jump-out" scaring thing is so stupid and unsatisfying, but the good old fashioned Stephen King's or Hitchcock's and others are really great. In fact, I'm in the middle of Misery and finished Christine this afternoon. Misery is much better. :D

So, what's y'all's opinion on horror movies? Like them, or can't bear to watch them? Are the new ones getting too cliché and dumb? Or does the monster popping out from behind a corner get you amped?

Discuss! ;]

Yeaaah. I only saw the lamed-down TV version of The Shining; twas pretty funny. Carnivorous topiaries, lol. Misery's just hilarious. Bi-polar + sledgehammer = WOO. Looked painful as anything, though. XDD The pig was the best. I get a kick out of The Birds just because Tippi runs around like an idiot, flailing around, just to get attacked by a seagull. 8D Still need to see Psycho.

Some of Stephen King's movies are pretty good; others are just… yeah. Never seen I Am Legend; looks more adventure or something than horror. o__o Currently watching Halloween V, though, which doesn't make much sense since I've never seen the first ones. XD; Also, speaking on the subject, what's with horror sequels? What? Who needs like, eight Saws? Just, no.

I am eager for Halloween tonight, but vow to indulge on AMC's Horror marathon until then. :DDD
