I like all-out violence (Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects) but horror seeps into my head and then I get scared going to the bathroom in the dark!! :-)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-60132307726810823652012-08-24T13:30:40.806-04:002012-08-24T13:30:40.806-04:00Cathy - thanks for all your picks!

I've seen a good chunk of those and totally agree with you re Hitchcock. :)<br /><br />It's funny you mentioned Deliverance because I caught the beginning of it on TV the other day and made a note to watch the whole thing again at some point. I've seen it before but it's been awhile.Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-68906131143719064212012-08-24T13:17:47.086-04:002012-08-24T13:17:47.086-04:00ALL of Alfred Hitchcock's movies are excellent...ALL of Alfred Hitchcock's movies are excellent choices. <br />I know it's not movie-like, but you would totally love Breaking Bad and if you catch it on Netflicks you can watch it all at once.<br />Alex's picks are all pretty awesome. Zombieland is one of my favourite movies of all time.<br />Have you seen The Hunger Games? It's good. Suspenseful.<br />The Others with Nicole Kidman is great.<br />Rosemary's Baby - fabulous!<br />Amityville Horror scared me crapless when I was a kid.<br />The Mothman Prophecies is cool.<br />Seen Signs with Mel Gibson? Awesomeness.<br />The Sixth Sense? Even better!<br />1408 was scary.<br />Seen Deliverance? It's pretty scary, plus it has a hunky young Burt Reynolds and the famous banjo song.<br />The Shining? FREAKED ME OUT.<br />Thanks for letting me list this stuff. Too much fun!<br /><br /><br />Cathy Olliffe-Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12729578896443750402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-25994568826598097012012-08-24T08:25:14.645-04:002012-08-24T08:25:14.645-04:00Mina - I've put Evil Dead II on the list!

Oh, I know this isn't a *movie* but how about FX's "American Horror Story?" It's first season aired last fall and it's been praised by critics and fans alike...love it, it's spooky and suspenseful, and more than a little bit messed up. :-)<br /><a href="http://minalobo.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Some Dark Romantic</a>Mina Lobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173895884776280826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-6548750552696529912012-08-23T08:21:53.781-04:002012-08-23T08:21:53.781-04:00Alex - ooo, thank you!

I've seen a couple of those - Carpenter's "The Thing" was great and so was "Super 8." <br /><br />(I don't mind a little gore - it's hard to define how much is too much - so I'm usually willing to take a chance if the story itself sounds good or depending on who the actors, writers, directors are.)

Carpenter's The Thing is a classic, but it is a bit gory. Do you like a fun monster movie? Tremors is fun. Humor and zombies? Zombieland. Vampires? The Blade or Underworld movies. Or Near Dark - highly underrated film by Kathryn Bigelow. Dash of horror in your science fiction wrapped in a great story? Super 8. And of course, the all-out fun romp of Evil Dead II. (Yeah, a little gory.)<br />Hope that helps.Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
