Lol.....wait.....didn't you say you shouldn't watch home invasion movies? I try to avoid them at all costs too because when my husband goes out of town my imagination goes into overdrive.Some movies are like chocolate cake......you know you shouldn't but you MUST!

Plus, that's the new 'thing'--it's hard to find a horror movie lately that doesn't have a home invasion aspect (that I haven't already seen). I'm always looking for something else, I promise! This one wasn't scary (in that sense) at all, thank goodness.
From Dusk Till Dawn. That Salma Hayek dance never gets old.
Also watched The Hungover Games. A parody film based on both The Hangover and The Hunger Games. Even though Carrie is one of the tributes, I don’t think it falls under the horror genre, but I wanted to give it a shout-out anyway (IFC is replaying it on Thursday, I believe).

4. Dark Was the Night (FTV)
When mysterious hoofed footprints and grisly deaths start occurring in a small woodsy Hamptons town, a grieving sheriff must overcome his personal demons to protect his town from a real one. Decent creature feature that rises above the usual B-movie stuff. Perhaps it takes itself a bit too seriously and could lighten up a bit (and the sound guy LOVED injecting LFE rumbles into a lot of shots), but on the other hand, how often do you get good actors and deeply fleshed-out characters in a monster movie? Cool to see Lukas Haas (the Amish kid in Witness) all grown up and still acting.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

Alien. I like the sequel better but the first one is a classic sci-fi horror.
#16 ) The Amityville Horror (2005) re-make .. ended up watching this last night when I went to bed. It is the re-make of the classic.. with Ryan Reynolds. I give it a 2 out of 5 stars.. I don't know why I just don't like the classics messed with, however there are a lot of re-makes out there of movies that are better than the original, but this isn't one of them IMO.
It made me want to watch the original tho... so I did this morning.. lol
#17) The Amityville Horror (1979) 5 out of 5 stars. Absolutely love this horror classic.

5. The Shining -- Yep, just can't stay away from The Shelley.
5. Omen III – The Final Conflict (1981)
Not too bad but not nearly as good as the first two. This one lacks the tension of the first two and I thought the ending was weak. It’s watchable though. 5/10

Yeah, watched Devils Rejects again, so that brought me up to three, I think. Anyway, always thought this one was WAY better than House of 1000 Corpses, has some truly grisly moments...but, UGH, Rob Zombie's writing sucks. It's like somebody trying to write Tarantino dialogue, but failing miserably.
Started watching Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, but didn't get far-- had other things happening which forced me to cease viewing the flick. But I'd like to try it again sometime--I adore Bette Davis, loved her in Baby Jane.
I'm gonna try to squeeze in as many Christopher Lee movies as possible--in honor of Lee's recent demise. Might slip Curse of Frankenstein in the player tonight...

My mom used to sing Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte to me. Scared me . She did it on purpose. I have not seen that in awhile.
I still have not seen any yet! You think they would be all over.

I'm figuring on a couple two or three butt-numbing, red-eyed, all-night horror movie marathons to get me up to speed. The whole 'creep-season' Halloween vibe is starting to bubble in my guts.
8) Carrie (2013) -- It was OK but didn't really get close to the original. For me Piper Laurie and Sissy Spacek nailed both Carrie and her mom in that movie. Julianne Moore and Chloe Moretz are far from bad but they are not as good as the earlier portraials. Also Di Palmas direction is better in the original. But i liked that they stayed close to the book.
Watch The House That Dripped Blood
He's only in 1/4 of the movie, but he's really good.
I watched a couple more this afternoon.
4. Silver Bullet
I have always liked this one a lot.

This one, I watched for nostalgia reasons. In junior high, my best friend and I watched this together. It scared the bejeezus out of us then! After the movie was over, we got even more scared. Her bedroom connected to the bathroom, and the door kept randomly popping open. We just knew David was coming to get us! It turned out to be a comb wedged in somehow, and that was why the door kept coming open. But we were properly freaked out by the time we figured that out.
Not so scary today, but it made me laugh, remembering that.
