I have - I watched "The Others" last night - lol! I was still living out of the back of my car last Halloween, so I missed watching the scary movies with my face in a pillow, carving pumpkins, handing out candy :D I'm looking forward to it this year!

Same here about the living arrangements. I have not watched any yet, but am waiting for the 13 days of Halloween. Will be some scary ones on for sure.

Night of the Comet is my favorite. It is scary but also funny. Love the scene in the department store when the girls are trying on clothes.

I like to watch the Alfred Hitchcock classics such as "The Birds", as well as the "Scary Movie" series.

When I was 6, my mom took me to the movies to see "A Nightmare On Elm Street", and I didn't even flinch once.

When y'all find a really scary movie, let me know.

I think I've said it before -- "The Exorcist," "The Ring," "Psycho," "Alien," "BWP"...I've seen them all and I don't find them frighteningly scary, although The Ring came close. If it wasn't for some kids talking too much during the "filler" scenes, I might have been able to keep my sense of fear growing enough to actually have been scared. "Monkey Shines" wasn't scary, but was suspenseful enough that I felt my heart jump a couple of times. Aside from that, I don't know what to look for in a scary movie. I'm too much of a skeptic to let supernatural frights (ghosts, witches, vampires) get to me. Aliens, killer pets, and blobs are too fake. Serial killer and psychological thrillers are realistic enough but most of them are more "action" films than "horror." I don't get why so many people were scared by "Silence of the Lambs." Hannibal was freaky, but there was nothing in the movie to raise my level of fear.

Any suggestions?

For the record, I've seen the Amityville series (including, of course, the Patty Duke one), all the Halloweens, most of the Friday the 13th's and Nightmare on Elm Streets, The Changling, The Entity, the Psycho series, Alien, Footloose, The Ring, The Grudge, Blair Witch, The Others, Sixth Sense, Gates Of Hell, Army of Darkness ("Shop smart...shop S-Mart!"), and a multitude of others.

Funny you should mention the movie "The Others". IMO, it's one of the best scary movies I've ever seen. It's scary in the sense of reality, with no cheesy monsters or gore. Other than that, I thought the Ring was pretty good.
