If you've been around this old haunt then you know that I hail from a horror-loving family. Creature Double Feature, MonsterVision, Movie Macabre, Hammer horror, Fangoria, Famous Monsters, and of course countless trips to the drive-in and video store horror section were a way of life around Chez Ponder. I know mom's still watching horror movies like crazy, because whenever we talk she fills me in on whatever gonzo gorefest she's recently seen.
As for her list, she said "I totally agonized over this because I love so many movies, but I settled on these." Everyone who participated in this grand experiment knows that pain! It's true, what US Magazine says: Stars...they're just like us!

Oh my God, this is the best! I wish my mom we half as cool as yours!
OMG I love your mom.

Great list, Final Mom!!! You are so cool! Like mother, like daughter!
Pitch Black! Excellent! I can't believe I didn't consider that one given that I used to watch it with some regularity. But you had me at Candyman! Thanks for the brilliant list!
