Tagiscom Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) Here are mine.... Brilliant acting, and even to this day, having watched this since l was a kid, l still see stuff that l missed. Silent Running, which is probably more horror, eventhough it was done on a shoestring, and they are doing a remake, and it has a happy ending, lol. And this of course, which is a comedy. Love it, but no fluffy bunnies! Which are yours? Edited March 2, 2020 by Tagiscom Testing a supposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Whitacre Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 In 1973 I saw The Exorcist in a theater. The entire movie, I couldn't move. I couldn't look away. i was terrified. At the end of the movie, the entire packed theater got up...and silently walked out of the theater. Nobody said a word. The second scarriest movie I ever saw was Exorcist 3. George C. Scott absolutely sold it. Nearly all the movie was seeing horror through other people's expressions. A truly terrifying movie. I saw The Exorcist again, with my adult Son a decade or so ago, and it was like a different movie. Not scary to me at all (or to my Son). I suspect in 1973, our expectations were different.

I've heard tales of how people fainted during the shower scene in Psycho back in 1960. That's despite the fact there's nothing graphic about it. The horror was a result of people using their imagination, rather than showing it in gory detail (which would happen if that movie was made today). Ironically, if it had shown it in graphic detail with lots of blood and guts, the scene would've been nowhere near as powerful.

I saw The Omen when I was young and more impressionable. It was not that it was gory or anything, it was the premise of the movie and that it might just have some truth in it that scared me. That beautifully designed and wonderfully timed bit at the end of the original Carrie movie was my most shocking experience in a film of that nature.

This one scared the hell out of me when l was a kid. But now, l have to admit it is funny more than anything, (pretty obvious that the vein thing is rubber).

The shark in Jaws wouldn't work well in water, so they had to shoot the movie by showing the expressions of the terrified people, and the anticipation of seeing the shark made the film much scarier. The reviews of the new Invisible Man movie say much the same thing. For nearly the whole movie, you don't see the Invisible Man, but the anticipation of whether he's there or not is overwhelming. I may see the movie just for that idea. whateverpedia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when this comes on Free to Air, and l have to choose between washing pets, AU Survivor, cooks throwing knives and Harry Potter, l would watch, ar, screw it, l would rent something.

Princess Balestra Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I so love the scene in The Shining where the impossibly manic Jack Nicholson terrorizes the frick outta the planet by breakin' down a door with an axe. As the hapless gal squeals, "Riffle, Riffle, plz save me! With your cavalier beard & incisive wit! Surely you can talk this monster down!" — don't you jus' wanna thank her for how she overts oblivion? In anothah cut, she jus' home watchin' TV bcs she took Claude at his word nevah to run with stoopid stuff. Hence no horror — merely the eternal numbness of perpetual stability. In the Whatto version, Nicholson got ate by KILLAH SPIDAHS way before he quit shavin' — an' no anti-axe door gonna keep 'em from BITIN' YOU ALL OVAH. Alternatively, 'half past nine' means darkest midnight came real early — an' you unprepared for the reaper's ultimate advance. Course, the Fearo version is simply clevah wordplay. Which is why THE SHIRING foreshadows a horror fyooture where evry cultural reference vampin' your ass originates in the Yookay. For my part, I would want always to run with actschwaan rather than horror — which is why color co-ordinatin' my sneakers with resta my outfit is so important to Moi. Gotta figure that is why Mall Death Brain Explosion Fuck gonna be the next horror movie winnah. You Don't Need A War To Kill You Don't Need A Zombie Apocalypse To Destroy You Don't Need An Unforgiving God To Annihilate All it takes is a Mall. A Whole bunch of Random Styling. And a Millennial Who Can't Take The Mismatch No More! . Lanfear63, Tagiscom and Claude Whitacre 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, after today..only half the people who have called me a Parliamentary cur will have gotten away with it. So there! Possibly my favorite Family Guy scene.
