Gettin' down to both the nitties and the gritties here, folks. I was surprised that Arachnophobia received so many votes, but if there's one thing I've learned this SHOCKtober, it's this: y'all hate bugs.
The good news is, that picture is real. The even better news is, you can click to embiggen and really damage your psyche. Happy Halloween, everyone!
Pinhead scared me so much when I was young that I'd avoid walking past the Hellraiser video at the video store. I read the novella that Hellraiser is based on and it left me so unsettled.
ReplyDeleteI love the movie but it really freaks me out.
Arrrgghhhhhhhhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteUnless I missed some, 9 out of my 10 choices will wind up in the Top 40. Just an unoriginal hack am I.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the worst part of Hellraiser is when Andrew Robinson impaled his hand on an exposed nail on the staircase. That's the kind of real-life horror that makes me squirm.
I'm very happy to see A TALE OF TWO SISTERS on there. That's a beautiful, heart-wrenching movie.
ReplyDeleteAlong with LET THE RIGHT ONE IN it is easily my favourite horror movie of the last decade.
