It was nice having two movies, cartoons, and news reels. If we want to, we could stay and see the whole thing again. I remember going to the movies when I was twelve. I approached the ticket booth, and the woman asked how old I was. "Twelve." "You're an adult. You have to pay the adult price." I didn't have enough money, so I walked home. I met my brother along the way and gave him my money.

If you want Horror, Just tune into CNN or MSNBC, and watch what is going on in Ukraine. Imagine being shot, blown to bits, or loosing your house and home. No food, no water, and no beer, that is horror.

I love most old horror movies from the '50s but the dumbest one, I believe, was the one with the giant rabbits (can't remember the title).

In my experience, The man from planet X got the most screams from the girls but my favorites are both Sci-fi horror movies: (#1) Alien and (#2) Predator.

The vampire movies really got creative, Jerry. The one that I remember most was the gunfighter vampire. You could shoot him but he couldn't die. That is, ofc, until the preacher in town put a wooden cross on his bullet and shot the vampire gunfighter in the heart during a duel. THAT killed him. I guess the genre would be Western Horror Vampire
Other than The Mummy with Borris Karloff, the recent Cabin in the Woods may be one of the best.

How about "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer"? I couldn't bring myself to watch that one.

Me too. I thought Night of the Demon was pretty darn scary.

That is Reality. as in Non-Fiction.
The Genre we are looking at is Fiction, as in Make Believe.

I had seen The Birds once, sitting back in the theatre and it didnt have that much impact on me. When I was a freshman in college, they played it in the auditorium. My dorm floor decided to sit in the first two rows. It had a totally different effect sitting that close. It was really scary up that close.

"The Blob", Steve McQueens first movie I believe?
I thought everyone regarded "The Blob" as a satire on horror movies!
