I love me "Something Wicked This Way Comes". It has it's problems, but it gets most things right. Also, Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark.

Bourne…so the mentally disturbed have to suffer the pouring rain and your condemnation as weirdos? Come on, man, they just needed a little medication and a roof over their heads. Only one of them wanted to kill you…probably.

Corey, why are you still with us? It's obvious that the long walk to the attic pull chain, trembling flashlight in hand, was the moment the horrible things were supposed to get you. Did they miss their cue?

Nice point about Jacob's Ladder, lexicon. I've loved that film for years. It's agood comparison between it and The Descent because in neither film (at least in the uncut version of The Descent) do we know if any of this takes place. Also, consider another alternative in the case of The Descent…the cave trip did…

Not only were the Zodiac crimes never solved, but the strongest suspect they had…the one Grayson fingers in the book and the film…recently turned out not to have been Zodiac, as it would seem. DNA on stamps was not a match.

For scares that happen outside of the hotel in The Shining, I thought the ghost of the kid who died in the cement tube was a hell of a lot creepier than the bushes. That's the kid that wants Danny to come play with him forever and ever, right?

If you were lucky, lexicon. You've seen Funny Games, right?

I've never made it through Wicker Man, but 'll have to give it another try. It just seems like the lead character is an annoying, preachy twit, and that dance of arousal scene in the hotel just makes me lose it. Still, I need to give it a chance, I suppose…

To the OP, I recently watched the original Star Wars trilogy with my two kids, 7 and 4, and had to mentally prep them for a few scenes that I thought might scare them, like the cantina arm chopping in the first one. One of the ones I missed was that last fight in Empire where Luke gets his hand chopped. My 7-year-old…

I have to agree that crawling physically out of the TV is not something you show. It doesn't ruin the film like seeing the Blair Witch would, but it deflated the balloon a little.

I'll throw one in that hasn't been mentioned: Parents.

Helter Skelter unnerved the shit out of my fearless college punk ass. Not just the murders themselves, and the particular freakiness of Watson and Krenwinkel, but the stuff you didn't usually hear about when this case is discussed.

The parasitic practices of old world aristocracy? Interersting theory, lexicon, but aren't Dracula's victims almost exclusively upper class and opposite sex? I always saw Stoker's vampires as more folklore stand-in for the taboo sexual predator in a morally restrictive Victorian society.

I feel your pain, Monkeylint. Rockville to Cabin John every day on the Beltway. Pain. Before that, the red line to Metro Center for 10 fucking awful years. Don't stand still on the left of the escalator, douchebag!

Dog Brothers was another decent werewolf flick that managed to accomplish quite a bit with low budget non-CGI effects. Love me a good werewolf film.

Again with your rhyming generational/reincarnation bullshit, lexicon. When will you stop?

South Park gets more hits than misses, but when they miss…holy shit, is it an awkward mess. Like the episode where they basically accuse the Ramseys and Gary Condit of murder by lumping them with OJ, who is obviously guilty. The Ramseys were almost certainly innocent, as evidence would suggest, and Condit was…

The army of fake Chaunceys was funny simply because they used to make real Chauncey foam at the mouth. You could feel his identity theft rage. They also seem to have successfully sent him running for the hills.

Besides a few songs here and there, Love could hardly be described as "apocalyptic" by any means. The Doors first album is the apocalypse.
