    It was a comedy but the old lady and her sons were real creepy in the stranger danger department. I remember thinking of all the sadistic things they would do to those kids if they caught them...I was thinking of Strangeland type stuff even as a kid back then.

    As for mine
    Back then it was nightmare on elm street because I was fascinated with dreams.

    Now it would be different but I don't watch them much anymore

    Exorcism was by far the most overated horror movie. Wasn't scary and wasn't that good a movie overall. The best thing to come from it was that blacksploitation movie that copied it.

    The original Friday the 13th... it's a fun one to watch...

    I love the older horror movies in that mid-70's to late 90's gap... i'm not a huge fan of the extremely gory stuff... movies like the original Halloween, Friday 13th series, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer... those movies are fun to watch because it's a little guessing game and the gore isn't terrible... it's fun

    Terror Train with Jamie Lee Curtis wasn't bad either... and Prom Night... both were kind of guessing games, like who did it?
