I'm sorry if I scared any of you but I assure you I my sanity is at a normal level for a hardcore funker, so there's nothing to worry about.  As horror goes, I find that stuff pretty mild!  Now, if you'd opened your mouth and a swarm of bees flew out, that might have freaked me out a little more!  Ah kayn't say nuthin', or Candyman'll git me...  |

That has to be one of the best horror films ever ;D It is very good If I were to be pretentious though I'd say something about there being a world of difference between gory horror and psychological horror - combining the two produces the real fear! I could have read Film Studies!  |

Candyman Candyman ......candym..... Nooooo! Not Mrs H!!! *beats desk with fists* "You Bastard, Candyman!" Just as well it's five times, really The film is far more of a thriller than a horror, granted, but the scene where Candyman 'visited' that woman's house and dumped Helen there (as well as paying special attention to the dog) was enough for it to be put into 'horror', I feel! I've not witnessed anyone who can watch that film for the first time and then say Candyman's name five times in the mirror. There's always a definite falter at number four, followed by a long silence and a nervous laugh... ;D Can't believe it's only rated 6.4 on IMDB |

Well, for several months, actually. The bits where Pennywise is about are really scary, but the rest tends to drag a little. The scare scenes are some of King's best, it's just a shame about the rest of it  |

Suspense, horror....oooo it's a big spider. |

Suspense, horror....oooo it's a big spider. Desperation is a notable exception to that, I think. There are a few others, but I can't remember them right now. Wasn't the spider only the film's ending? I've not read that far in the book yet, but everyone who's mentioned how bad the film's adaptation was has said, "At least the book's ending wasn't a giant rubber spider." |

I did say I've not witnessed it - but feel free to tell it again! ;D It's only funny for the following reason: *Jules and Distant Ex watch Candyman* DE: "Bet you won't do the thing with the mirror!" Jules: "Ha, tis nothing!" *proceeds to do thing with mirror and turns out light* *Jules gets into bed and starts to drift off* *DE makes "stabbing" movement in middle of Jules' back* *Jules nearly dies of shock!* |
