It scared me as a kid and still does today 30 years later. Love that Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is rated highly. It scared me as a kid and still does today 30 years later.

Blobby (England) Sat, 01 Nov 2008 22:21:42 +0000 http://tcmmoviemorlocks.wordpress.com/?p=4683#comment-5853 I have to say that my essential list would include several of these. THE BRIDES OF DRACULA is also my favorite Hammer though some would consider that blasphemy because Christopher Lee does not play the Count in this one - the relatively unknown David Peel does. The film also gets an added touch of class from Martita Hunt in the tragic role of Peel's mother, the Baroness Meinster. I also love MURDERS IN THE ZOO, DRACULA'S DAUGHTER, SALEM'S LOT, I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE and THE INNOCENTS. I am intrigued by VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS and may have to hunt that one down but it might prove to be too strong a tea for me.

I thought it was a fresh take on standard horror conventions and themes, and the viral campaign that went with it was brilliant. It was both new and traditional at the same time. Plus, I watched it again the other night in the middle of the night, and it freaked me out. Too bad I didn't know you earlier, I would have backed in your argument against the other critic. Richard:

Frontier/folk tales. Eyes Of Fire (1983) and Ravenous (1999) and Pumpkinhead (1988). One...scary...made for television...item. The Woman In Black (1989). The Ring(2002)/Ringu(1998)/The Grudge/Grudgu (2004). By the way, here's a recommendation. If your eyes tired watching all those movies...go to National Public Radio's "This American Life" website. Look for program, "House On Loon Lake". Interesting and sometimes eerie and supposed to be true mystery story. I agree regarding the mention of The Blair Witch Project. Creepy little hand prints!
