I'll have to quiz my stepdaughter and see if she's seen it. She knows what really terrifies me and always gives me a scary rating.

I'll have to look into The Others, since I do like Alfred Hitchcock movies, especially the ones that are more mystery than horror like Vertigo and Rear Window. I agree with Amy that the choice of cursing someone else to same yourself or your family is the scariest.Beth Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447148196867821907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-68410550795479547682016-10-12T10:14:46.195-07:002016-10-12T10:14:46.195-07:00Great post, ladies!

And I like ghost encounters (the real ones people share) so I should like scary movies, but I don't. Even with all the lights turned on, I can't watch a scary movie... maybe it is the music and creepy sound effects. I could try watching it on mute, I suppose :) Cari Lynn Webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211625746411631493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-33384365291242794462016-10-12T10:08:13.739-07:002016-10-12T10:08:13.739-07:00I don't know if you can trust ME, Carol and Am...I don't know if you can trust ME, Carol and Amy! I'd probably slip behind the couch and wait to jump up and scare both of you during the movie lol. I pretend to be innocent but I make popcorn fly lol.<br /><br />As for scary movies, I like some paranormal ones, ghosts don't scare me. Crazy people do.<br /><br />One movie I love watching around Halloween is Nicole Kidman and Sandra Rula Sinarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01703015110251843280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-61725841601515965672016-10-12T09:24:23.635-07:002016-10-12T09:24:23.635-07:00I love this post, ladies!

I have seen The Others, but Carol's skillful writing drew me right in and it, too, is going on my TBV list.

The edge-of-my seat movie I appreciate most is an oldie with Audrey Hepburn called Wait Until Dark about a young woman who recently went blind and is caught in her apartment with a murderer she doesn't even know is there for a while. It's amazing. The villain is a young Muriel Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065629068634892645noreply@blogger.com
