Hi! grinning.gif  devil.gif

One of my co-workers just saw yet another remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre) at the movies last weekend.

I don't know about you, but I find the most scary movies/books/poems/stories that I take a liking to are the ones where the 'mystery' is left to your own imagination.

Instead of seeing the blood and gore, I'd rather 'imagine it' for myself.

How about you?

Hey Lori,

I, for one, am with you.  I offer for example that terrible movie (personal opinion, of course) "The Blair Witch Project".

I didn't think the movie was very good, in fact it had a very foul odor about it.  And was the movie "scary"?  IMO, not one single moment of it.

BUT!!!

What my imagination came up with after the movie was over scared the crap out of me and gave me some very unhealthy nightmares.

No blood, no guts, (and truth be told, no story-line) but it ended up scaring me to death.

So while it was not a good movie in general, it was an excellent horror movie.

Why?

Because the only person that could come up with the scariest possible ending for that movie is yourself.  You and only you know exactly what scares you the most.  Too many movies these days take that element out of it.
