33. A Haunting.

Yeah, they scare me. Some are better than others, but most of them are really good. I've seen them all...the first one I saw was "A Haunting in Connecticut" (the movie sucked) and I was so scared I shut it off but recorded it because my husband was out of town on business and couldn't watch it by myself.

I can't remember the last scary movie I saw. I like them but most nowadays are cheesy. I like the old ones (then again I'm old) like The Changeling, The Exorcist, The Omen, Re-Animator (and funny), Alien, The Shining, Halloween...I even thought the first Nightmare on Elm Street was scary.

The reviews on Insidious were pretty good and there were some scary parts, but I wasn't that impressed. I think that's the last one I've seen. I liked the remake of "Let the Right One in" and "May" was pretty bizarre.

"Identity" with John Cusack was a good thriller.

Saw Blair Witch at the theater opening weekend and thought it sucked. I was really looking forward to it.

Sorry for ranting since you only asked me one question and I wrote a novel.
