No More Frights???

by Anthony Vertuccio
(Sayville, NY)

What has happened to good old scary watch with the lights out movies? I remember watching "The Changeling" in my attic room and not being able to sleep. It had few special effects and lots of scares like the hearing of the tape after the seance. How about the original "The Uninvited" w/ Ray Milland (if I am correct) lots of skin crawling moments in that movie.

Isn't it time we saw a movie that had lots of chills but little gore? Gore doesn't scare but the unknown does. One modern movie that did chill me was "The Gravedancers", but hey this only my opinion. Have a Horrific Halloween and leave the closet door open.

So true, but...

I also am a big fan of the ghost story. I like the entire horror/sci-fi genre but the good old fashioned scary ghost story is my fave! I recently watched a couple of good ones around Halloween that I'd like to pass along.

The first is a movie called The Skeptic (2009). I get chills right now just thinking about it and every time I see it in the video store I wish I could see it again for the first time. It stars Tim Daly of Wings fame. Check it out! It's got all the stuff you would expect: edge of your seat suspense, lots of heart stopping, gasp inducing scares and no gore at all. Loved it!

The second one is called The Return (2006) with Sarah Michelle Gellar. This one is more creepy than anything else but still very good.

Enjoy!

you are absolutely right!
by: Ronnie

There aren't any real horror movies now a days.
All of them are slashers, however i did find a gem its called The Abandoned - dont listen to what people say just pop the dvd in and flip the lights off! it will scare! The gravedancers was good but had the potential to be a classic which they missed.
I liked Dead Silence as well, thought it was really well done (minus) the leading actor.
A recommendation for all if you havent watched John Carpenters In the Mouth of Madness .. do so immediately .. it is absolutely classic horror!
