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!

I still love that movie. It just came out on DVD by the way. Everytime I see that ending, I think about how much fun it would be to have a hotel like that. Very cool film, nice variation on the slasher genre.
