my list now is over 20. and i think most are available in the video store for a buck.

i think it's the season for it.

i think horror has that wake you up quality to it. and movies like angel heart, 8mm, and henry, do that also.

hey, there's nothin like being dead and not knowing it. that's a great movie horror theme. isn't that angel heart? and the first horror movie i ever saw: carnival of souls. and it's really worse when the dead come after you to get you because you are one of them and don't know it.

just as i'm typing, the name of the horror film that i could not remember came to me that takes place in the new england town. it's called

dead and buried. you got to see it because it trips you into that unreal space that few horror movies do.

and i really just have a great fondness for the recent movie "the others'. the ending is what makes it. and because of it, the 'mom' in the movie sweeps you away.
