Welcome to the week of Scary Movies.
Up until now, we’ve been looking at one per week. Candyman, Halloween, andPoltergeist . . .but now, it’s time for the final five.
The TOP FIVE as far as I’m concerned . . .
So, on to #5:

Yeah, so I’m such a wimp, I never saw this one all the way through. Yes, I’m a dork, and I’m okay with it. Talk about creepy.
Why are the older movies that much more creepy than the ones these days?

Did you see Amityville? What’d you think?

Oh man … I’m such a wimp. I can’t watch scary movies. At. All. 🙂

I’m a horror movie junkie, but Amityville scared me so much more than the average slasher flicks that were out at the time. (yes, I’m old..I remember reading the BOOK, lol)
I think it was the first one that made me believe it was really a true story. The book read like a true crime novel. That movie wigged me out.
Lynn Rush
Wigged me out, too! I didn’t know you were a horror movie junkie…that’s interesting. You’ll have to let me know if you agree with my #1 movie choice on Friday! LOL
Steph
Yeah, definitely one of the scariest. I seem to remember that the house was put on the market several months ago. There’s no way I could ever live there, let alone spend one night under that roof!
Lynn Rush
Oh man. I don’t think anyone could pay me enough to spend a night in that house. LOL!

Okay Lynn, this is a scary movie. I’ve only seen it twice and can only remember little bits and pieces of it, but I do know it scares me spitless!
Lynn Rush
Scared you spitless, huh? Yeah, me, too. I couldn’t even watch the entire thing!
lbdiamond
Yeah, I liked this movie. What a story!

Morning Lynn 🙂
Ahhh I’m so glad Amityville is in your top five 🙂 This story gives me the willies — probably because it’s based on a supposed true story — there’s nothing like a true haunted story to get the fear pumping 🙂
I definitely prefer the original movie, to the remake. Perhaps because older movies tend to build on the atmosphere without relaying on effects — I’m a total nut for old black and white ghost stories.
Lynn Rush
Yeah. That based on true story stuff really freaks me out. I know it’s more glamorized for movies, but still. . . .

I was never able to watch the entire movie either. I think the scary movies these days are more geared to gross you out with the blood, killing, etc. and they lack the suspense the older movies had.
Lynn Rush
Yeah, The suspense is key. Gore just dumbs down the plot as far as I’m concerned.
Ciara Knight
That’s a classic. Love the 70/80’s music and voice. That is when scary plot meant more than gore. Great move.
Lynn Rush
Yeah…a scary plot definitely means more than gore in my book. . .
