Last night, after the kids were asleep, while I watched the new Indiana Jones movie, I heard one of the kids walk up the stairs to my bedroom. Since my wife and I were still awake, I wondered why they didn't just come into the living room. When I went to look, both of them were still asleep. Didn't find anyone.
Tonight, I wandered into the kitchen to get some dinner while my wife and kids are at the Halloween party at church and found the back door open. I probably just forgot to close it earlier. Right?
right?
Okay, on with todays blog. My theme is Halloween and the subject is "the scariest movies of all time." So, below is the 10 movies I found to be the scariest. Those who know me, send me an e-mail of your scariest movies. So, in no particular order...
- Poltergeist. In particular, that awful (great) scene with the toy clown, that isn't behind the kid, and then is.
- The Mist. The black and white format was very tense, and the ending horrified me. This one actually produced a sleepless night.
- Mrs Doubtfire. Hey, is there anything scarier than Robin Williams in a dress? Okay, that one was just for fun.
- The Blair Witch Project. The unknown, while alone in the dark woods. Need I say more?
- Alien. Dark ship. Unknown killing creature. people keep wandering off alone. (What's that all about? Surely hundreds of years in the future, there have been enough horror movies so that people stop wandering around alone. In the dark. After others have dissappeared.
- Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Okay, the 1978 version, not the campy 50s version. By the end all hope is lost and you have no idea who to trust. Kind of like high school.
- Halloween. The scariest of all slasher movies. The only decent one ever made (Hey, I just call them like I see them).
- Cape Fear. The 1962 edition, not the 1991 remake.
- When a Stranger Calls. "He's in the house. The call is coming from inside of the house." Dang.
- Bigfoot, the Mysterious Monster. Okay, this scene (follow the link) scared me to death when I was 9.
- The Shining. Okay, I was only going to have 10, but this one needed an honorable mention.
Scary movies I haven't seen, but I'm thinking about watching...
- Jaws. Yeah, yeah, I know. I've only had like 35 years to watch it. Hey, give me time.
- Rec. Dang, this one looks creepy.
Happy Halloween everyone.
