when I was 8, I remember watching “Shocker” and running out of the house to be in the daylight.
that being said, being scared as a kid can be numerous movies, but as an adult, takes a special kind of movie to freak you out.
Oh yeah…The Howling.
The funny thing is the scary guy, Eddie, is played by Robert Picardo…the holographic doctor from Star Trek: Voyager.
When I was little, I was petrified to see the Exorcist.
Collapse, if he’s right about half that sh*t we are super f8cked
This last month I just can’t seem to get enough horror movies and I’ve been watching them almost daily.
Insidious had some great moments (semi-spoiler* the one with the mom seeing a guy in her babies room was very well done), but the last third of the film got kinda silly…
Candyman was a surprisingly good movie. I pretty much never re-watch movies, but there’s a good chance I’ll watch this one again.
The exorcist was… dissapointing. For me it was utterly forgetable and I felt the ending was a cop-out. Like they just ran out of shit to do so they ended the movie… quite a few unnecessary scenes aswell.
Nightmare on Elm Street… I don’t get this movie. It just doesn’t seem like anything special to me and I don’t think it really stands out from it’s sequals in any significant way (though I haven’t seen all of them) yet people will swear to me it’s a masterpeice and the only good NoEM. For me, not scary or interesting.
My favourite horror movie, however, is Let Me In. Everything is pretty much perfect. I haven’t watched the original (Let The Right One In), which I hear is the superior film (even if only by a small margin), so I guess that’s next on my list.
1408
Final Destination. Just the first one, haven’t seen any others. I ate a 1/4 oz. of mushrooms before the movies started and that shit got right on top of me, with Extreme Prejudice. Do not eat a 1/4 oz. of mushrooms and watch this movie. You won’t leave the seat that you watched the movie from until well after the mushrooms have worn off. WELL after they’ve worn off. Good times.

Sorry I missed this the other day.
Does she tell you why? I mean does she have her beliefs for the nosocomial infection rates? Poor janitorial? Nursing shortage? Or are we just at the point that the bugs are just this close to taking over?
I do the same things for my family, I have a lot of gear at the house. Suture kits, lidocaine etc. I have stapled my nephews head in our bathroom in the past.

Would you like to clarify “I have stapled my nephews head in our bathroom in the past”? People might think we get off to stapling peoples head in our bathroom. Sounds a bit sadistic, don’t ya think?

I guess, just to clarify he had a laceration that required closure, I used a skin stapler to put in 3 staples.
contagion is a new movie coming out… it seems like its a “what if the bird flu went totally wrong” type of movie…
seems like it has potential… not exactly a horror film but its movies like this that scare the shit outta me… gurl coming out of a tv? not so much… deadly killer viruses spreading around the world in a month’s time much more realistic and possible of happening…

She is skeptical of the janitors and the nurses, but she thinks the bugs are such that they can’t be stopped.
She’s particularly upset about the current hospital because they have long-term elderly (with chronic infections, including MRSA), migrant immigrants (drug resitant TB), and a large populations of male homosexuals seeking treatment for resistant venerial diseases and TB (who are irresponsible with their sex, anti-biotic use, and anti-viral drug use) , all in the same hospital.
Often staff that works at all three areas.
She considers it a time bomb waiting to go off.
I haven’t really been scared of a horror movie since I was a kid (10-12 years old). Here are the ones that really got me:
The Exorcist
The Amityville Horror
Phantasm
Halloween
You know Prince of Darkness always had an effect on me as well I think it’s the whole zombies and possession thing freaks me out not having control over oneself and the like
There was also a short story by Stephen King called “The Boogeyman” (it was in his collection of short stories called “The Night Shift”) about a monster that lived in the closet and killed the main character’s 3 kids. I read this in 7th grade and had trouble sleeping for months. I had to make sure my bedroom closet door was shut before I could even attempt to fall asleep. Even then, I’d keep one eye on the door.

Has she seen any VRSA? Talk about a super bug. If that gets out of control this planet maybe fucked for sure.
The Road with Viggo Mortensen…while it’s not meant to be scary, it’s the most realistic post-apocalyptic movie ever…and in a way the most depressing movie you may ever see…but an awesome flick that I recommend if you’re into that genre…scary realism, not in the horror movie sense at all…
But the scariest movie I’ve seen is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre…but when I originally saw it I was 12 yrs old, it was like 2am, and I was told it was based on a true story…the style of filming along with the gritty feel of the film, I thought I was watching real life unfold…scared the shit out of me…
