And I scared the living daylights out of myself this weekend. I rented Paranormal Activity, watched it and then had nightmares every night! Creepy movie. I hate horror movies about monsters or torture or murders. If I'm going to scare myself I like creepy stories about ghosts and hauntings. Stories that never really show you the "monster". They leave it to your imagination. And obviously, my imagination was way too engaged after watching Paranormal Activity. I've heard the sequels aren't as good, but that's okay, I think I've had my fill of the horror genre for awhile.
If you are looking for something to watch tonight, here's my list of favorite horror movies:
1. The Exorcist. Seriously, this is the scariest movie EVER!
2. The Shining. The best adaptation of a Stephan King book. " Here's Johnny...."
3. Rosemary's Baby. An oldie, but a goodie. Just campy enough to take the edge off, but still pretty darn scary.
4. Trilogy of Terror. VERY campy. But the vignette about the African Doll that comes to life? Well, when I was a little girl, I wouldn't walk on the floor for a few days after seeing this one. I would hop from furniture piece to furniture piece to get to the bathroom at night.
5. The Haunting. The old version, not the remake. So good!
6. The Others. Love the twist at the end.
What are your favorite horror movies?

You should have asked me before you saw that! It even scared me! And the second is even worse! I don't think I'll be able to see the third. Too realistic for me!
Love that little pumpkin. Happy Halloween!
AH! You silly girls! I thought Paranormal Activity was the worst! But honestly, I think when you've been a cop AND a paranormal investigator, you're much less phased by the potentiality of true paranormal activity. Maybe I should take you both out hunting sometime. . .
I prefer Ghost stories myself and 'The Others' is one of my favorites!
I recommend you watch 'Stir of Echoes' for a good ghost story.
Me? NONE! I scare too easily.
But my daughter recently saw the third one (PA) and said the entire theater was screaming. She said it was the BEST one. (So you might want to avoid it- Ha)

(I'd love to go ghost hunting with your commenter above) I thought Paranormal was great, although the 2nd one was a bit slow. My son said 3 was really the best. Love horror flicks and have to do it in spurts. A new series "Walking Dead" about zombies taking over is pretty gory and fun.
