Halloween Scary List

What's SCARY?

Scary Movies:

Halloween II - saw this in the theater, still quiver thinking of Jason showing up from behind the open closet door

Poseidon Adventure - ok, probably in the "thriller category", but this is the only disaster movie to make it difficult to go to sleep

Psycho - scariest Hitchcock movie; don't even try to argue for The Birds

Misery - only Stephen King novel-to-movie that really scared me... maybe it was Kathy Bates?

Jaws - don't go to the beach after seeing this one

Silence of the Lambs

Poltergeist

Scary Books:

The Shining - Stephen King went downhill from this one, imho; and the book was much more heart-ripping than the movie(s)

The Dark Half - another King novel that actually made me get off of his work; too gripping, too much og an emotional hold

Scary TV:

Twilight Zone - original series with Rod Steiger

Tales from the Crypt

In Search Of... - Bigfoot was real, dadgumit
