Nightmare before Xmas is a Halloween thru Dec movie *chuckles*. It's really a two holiday movie, imo.

Scariest movies...well that's difficult. I remember Fire in the Sky as the last movie to really scare me to the point where I didn't sleep well and that was about 10ish years ago. Other than that I recall parts of films that were scary...Scream's first scene and the hooded killer in the insane asylum from one of the Exorcist sequals. I read the Exorcist when I was about 11 and was too terrifed to watch the movie so I'm assuming if I had seen it that would be in my top 5 *chuckles*. Other movies like Alien, Aliens, Nightmare on Elm Street and The Thing all spooked me a bit although I'm immune to Aliens now.

Cheers,
True

I'm among the pro-Blair Witch contingent. That thing actually freaked me out, the first horror flick to do so in several years.

Dave's reference to the Zuni Fetish segment of Trilogy of Terror got me thinking: that segment was based on a Richard Matheson short story...over the summer I read that very story, which was included in a very fine edition of Matheson's "I Am Legend." If you've never read this book, read it. I was absolutely engrossed...in terms of addiction this thing is up there with the Harry Potter novels.

But if you're lazy and just want to see a film version, check out either Omega Man with Charleton Heston (cheesy but fun) or The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price (creepy and pretty close to the book). You can find the latter on DVD for $8 along with Price's House on Haunted Hill.

PS: TNN is running a Friday the 13th marathon on Halloween and AMC is doing a Backstory on the original Halloween. Yee-haw!
