Old horror movies!

so you sympathised with the lion?

One of my favourite singers of recent times, Katie Melua sings a song (written by Mike Batt) about scary films which I think fit in well with this thread  

"Scary Films"
 

Scary films don't scare me now,
That you're around.
Since you been around;
Nowadays I never cry,
When the monster kills the guy,
And the psychopathic wife kills the husband with a knife

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Scary films just make me smile,
When you are here.
When you are here.
In your arms I'm not afraid,
When the aliens invade.
And the vampire's just a joke,
'Cause I know he's just a bloke.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Zombies marching through the mist,
Make me think of being kissed.
And I don't care when peoples' heads,
End up being torn to shreds.

Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams,
Of all those horror scenes,
Which crept in uninvited.
I'm in love and I'm so excited,
Hey baby, thanks for clearing my dreams.

Thanks for clearing my dreams

Of course! He was lovable character. Then again, so was the scarecrow, the most beloved of Dorothy, and the tin man as well. They all had cool personalities that were endearing. An overall delightful and heartwarming film.

I'm surprised no one mentioned what I consider the scariest movie of all time, The Exorcist. I was 18, heart beating heavy and hands sweating during the movie - because this to me was real, plausible. I was with a friend who had the same reaction, but the other two guys who went with us laughed, because they didn't believe demon possesion was possible; so to them, it was just another fictional horror flick. I did'nt laugh at all during that one.

I never saw The Exorcist and still don't want to see it!   Since these things can happen, I don't want to see it.   I think I might have seen a brief clip of it... that's was enough for me!

It's almost camp compared to our modern film industry. There are some doozy ones out there nowadays. Still, it's an intense movie, especially for its time.

Since we were talking about the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend....this is from the movie but a funny caption is added re Covid-19.   The others, Indiana Jones, and Star Trek...you might enjoy, too.

I have always liked Will Smith. A great actor and a wise man. I loved MiB

I forgot to mention those films. They were terrific!

King Kong vs. Godzilla

[Guest]

I have never been a fan of the Godzilla movies or the remakes of the two original King Kong movies with one exception.  That exception being King Kong directed by Peter Jackson.  I was surprised King Kong Skull Island was so bad.  I've only suffered through one viewing.
