The Frighteners

[Uncle_Reuban]

Here's another horror/comedy classic, coming from Peter Jackson himself.

For anyone who hasn't heard of it: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116365/?ref_=nv_sr_1

It stars Michael J. Fox, John Astin(Gomez Addams), and Jake Busey. I don't think I've ever mentioned this film on this board before, which is surprising, because it is another one of my favorite horror/comedies.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

For some reason I ALWAYS missed it whenever it was on TV. It has been on my "To watch" list for a long time. Is it gory? It's always rated here in Germany so it's not available for people younger than 18 and usually this does not apply to horror comedies.

No, it's not really gory. There are some gory things that happen, but it's mild compared to most horror films. I'm not sure why it's R rated. Maybe for language. It's violent, but not by today's standards.

It's a great movie. Not a lot of people have seen it here in Denmark, or atleast not a lot of people talk about it. I've seen it on TV numerous times.
