Poltergeist (1982)

Mark and I starting things off right this morning with Poltergeist!



The Mummy (1932)

 Old school chills and thrills with 1932's The Mummy!




Pet Sematary (1989)

 Pet Sematary was gnarly.



The Eye (2002)

 Watched with Mark. 



The Omen (1976)

 Watched with Terra.


Ringu (1998)

 About to rewatch Ringu.. Mark has never seen it... opening credits and I'm already so scared!!



The Birds (1963)

Not Hitchcock's best, but definitely inspired by the fashion... Who says a girl can't wear a fur coat in a dirty rowboat?!



Scream (1996)

 The original teen slasher. This movie terrified me when I first saw it, and it still does. I can never look at a glass sliding door the same way again.



Dead Ringers (1988)

Dead Ringers was incredibly disturbing. Incredibly good, but wow. Incredibly disturbing. As though we weren't already scared of twins and gynecologists.



Ju-On The Grudge (2002)

 Ju-On The Grudge was surprisingly scary, despite the silly effects.



House of Usher (1960)

Now THAT'S what I call horror! House of Usher has it all - Vincent Price, a haunted house, a family curse, a woman who sleepwalks nightly down to the crypt... "Evil is not just a word, it's a reality."



Låt den rätte komma in / Let the Right One In (2008)

So enjoyed watching Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In) with Tiriel... a delightful, offbeat Swedish romance. Reminded me of another subtle Scandinavian film, the powerful Danish werewolf story, Når dyrene drømmer (When Animals Dream).



Hostel (2005)

 Hostel was super fucking gnarly.



Diabolique (1955)

Loved Diabolique - snappy dialogue, a nice chance to practice my French comprehension, and a surprising denouement...



Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Silence of the Lambs is so brilliant. And plucky Starling, d'awww, so fierce and inspiring!!





Misery (1990)

 Misery is so creepy... If I were a celebrity, I'd be so afraid if anyone told me they're my "number 1 fan"...



An American Werewolf in London (1981)

An American Werewolf in London is hands down my favorite horror movie of all time. Everything about it is so rad... The super badass special effects makeup, adorable protagonist, great sense of humor, etc., etc. A gem!




Carrie (1976)

Still just as powerful 40 years later!!



Teeth (2007)

 Teeth was... interesting. Someone had to do it!



The Signal (2007)

The Signal (2007) was brutal. 3 different segments by 3 directors - only Jacob Gentry's portion (Jealousy Monster) had any redeeming value, IMHO, because parts were very funny (photo is from this segment). The first part was meh and the third part was just ugly and awful. Overall "yuck" rating for the gratuitous violence against women, which felt motivated more by misogyny than by the plot.
