I like scary movies if they're suspenseful and psychological thrillers. Not a lot of gore.<br /><br />Thanks a bunch for stopping by, Jay!

I never thought of it that way, but you're right! I remember one time as a kid when my parents took me to see a Joan Crawford movie called, "Straight Jacket", and they had to take me out of the movie theater because I started SCREAMING and CRYING - HA!<br /><br />I never heard of "Drag Me To Hell", so I'll have to google it. Sounds like a great movie!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, buddy.

I used to watch horror movies during childhood days but as I get older, I just could not take it anymore, should be the other way round isn't it?<br />However, last weekend, after so many years, I forced myself to watch a movie called Drag Me To Hell and I loved it. There wasn't much of the real scary scenes and humour was nicely blended into the movie.Zunnurhttp://a-little-time.blogspot.com/2012/09/oh-heart.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-82842289169479526292012-09-10T20:53:39.287-04:002012-09-10T20:53:39.287-04:00Hey there Nitebyrd~

I stop and watch a little if I see it on one of our Directv stations. Hmm... do I own this one on DVD? I can't imagine NOT having it since we have many good ones in the cabinet.

Isn't The Silence of the Lambs freakin' awesome?<br /><br />" This is one of those flicks that I'll be upgrading to blu-ray asap"<br /><br />Good for you, and I bet it looks even better on blu-ray and has a ton more special features on it.<br /><br />"The second movie, Hannibal, wasn't nearly as good. And the third movie, Red Dragon, was a great book but a disappointing movie, although it did have Ralph Fiennes in it, so that's something there."<br /><br />If you can believe this, I've never seen the other two movies because I didn't want it to spoil my feelings about the first film. Several people shared the same thing as you that they were very disappointing. To me, I think sometimes a film should remain "as is" with no additional parts.<br /><br />"As for older movies, I picked up Creepshow this weekend. Now *that's* a fun blast from the past!"<br /><br />Oooooooooo.....LOVE Creepshow too! I totally forgot about that one!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, buddy.
