My Tope Ten Horror Faves

Poltergeist has some really creepy moments. It's been a while since I last saw it but I remember the movie was giving me the creeps. Recommended.

"no..no it's my note."
Hm, are you refering to "The Frighteners"?

I have to pay homage to Poltergeist. One of those seminal movies. Not a fave but, respect.

BUT...hmm I again draw people's attention to REMAKES. Now. Halloween. I'm afraid, to me, is on such hallowed ground you just don't go there. But apparently the director spoke with John Carpenter and he said "Go ahead, make it your own" NOOOOOOOOOO Halloween is a cool movie. Why remake it FFS!!!!! Sorry dudes, Im venting spleen here, but why try to remake a superb, classic horror flick? Hills Have Eyes... Halloween...House On Haunted Hill...The Haunting...when will this end????

"...we should sue them..."
Go ahead Art, vent.

I personally believe they make these remakes (most of the time poorly) just to add a gore factor. That sort of irritates me.

I saw the new version of "The Hills Have Eyes" first and though I thought it was a good movie, I watched the original recently and like that one even better.

Yeah, I guess if they make people go back and try the original too, that's cool. There are some remakes I confess to like. Flight Of The Phoenix being one, Miracle on 34th STreet another.

I've never seen that, is it good? Also, I saw the movie Poltergeist
on the video store shelf. Is it absolutely terrifying? I ask this because it's rated PG in the standards of 1982.

Thirteen Ghosts has Tony Shaloub in the lead. It is a fairly dark horror movie - pretty scary. I liked the Frighteners as well but it was not that scary to me. The first Poltergeist was very good. The second was not as good (isn't that the way it always goes, except with Shrek 2). Sleepy Hollow, I thought, was very good - very atmospheric as with a lot of Tim Burton movies. I would certainly rent Poltergeist and give it a view.
