    		 Gotta talk up my old favorite, Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 shocker, "The Birds".

    What still freaks me out, the movie never explains why the birds turned against humans. And that unresolved ending leaves the impression that more is on the way! The only part of the movie that tries to ask "why" is the bar room scene after the latest bird attack:

    Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor...


    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

    		 Not really a horror film, but the ending to 2001: A Space Odyssey got to me.

    Like when David Bowman's space capsule, after what seems like a long time, finally lands inside of what appears to be a fancy hotel? The poor guy is sooo scared he's shaking uncontrollably and his face looks creepy as hell!

    In the book, Bowman stays inside the capsule for awhile, then as he calms down realizes that whoever or whatever "made" that hotel is obviously watching him. He steps out into the hotel room so as not to appear to his hosts as "completely stupid", lol.
    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.

    It's like he was literally reborn. He was the Benjamin Button of that time.

    Oh yeah, and the close up of his baby face with those huge eyes.
    Kinda freaked me out at the time.

    		 The Exorcist. And Silence of the Lambs. Nothing scarier than serial killers.

    		 A long time ago, when I first watched John Carpenter's Halloween, I was real scared when the very young Michael Myers killed his big sister.

    		 Lately, horror movies aren't that great but 1408 was a fascinating movies. It was more creepy than scary but sometimes that's all horror movies need.

    		 That clown from the movie It, too creepy.
    As far as movies being truly scary, maybe The Shining and The Exorcist.

    		 You guys got me thinking about one of the most scary animated characters from my childhood. Maleficent has stood the test of time but she sure haunted my dreams when I was a little kid!

    The Eldorado is dead. Long live the Eldorado.
