| "Signs" with Mel Gibson is one of them. I'm watching it right now, and I'm all alone, and it's too darn quiet in the house. I really ought to change the channel.....gulp. |

| Aliens. My DD (at the time about 12 years old begged me to let her watch this... then she's like "why did you let me see this movie????") LOL |

| I saw the original Night of the Living Dead when I was at college, living in a dorm with 300 other girls. I walked back to my room and was afraid to sleep alone, so I dragged my mattress into another girl's room and stayed there. I was a little embarassed the next morning but my friend understood, as she had seen the movie too. |

| This reminded me of how I felt a couple of days ago. I like to watch the old movies (that I saw in my youth) on TCM. Well, they were showing "The Uninvited" and I just could not watch.......I had seen it when it first came out, at a downtown theater, with three dorm friends. It was so scary that we ran home, not on the sidewalk, but down the street. Someone stepped on a manhole cover, causing a great clatter. We really ran, then. Anyway, I just could not watch it by myself this time! |

| I usually like scary movies, but the one I will not watch is "Paranormal Activity". It's on Pay per View now, but after overhearing people everywhere say it scared the cr@p out of them, I think this is one movie I'm better off not seeing. |
RE: Films I shouldn't watch alone...

| LOL! You guys understand alright! tally - I DID watch Paranormal Activity on PPV last week. Don't waste your money if you even think you might want to watch it. Wasn't scary, filmed sort of like a reality show and just dragged on and on for the first hour or so. Something for teens, but I admit it had a surprise ending, albeit funny to me instead of scary. |

| The original Psycho, Silence of the Lambs, anything with Cat People. |

| Original Halloween for me. |

| LOL! Scary movies...LOL! I don't like to take a shower when I'm home alone. LOL! I haven't swam in the Ocean since "Jaws". I certainly wouldn't want to be snowbound in an empty Resort. LOL! |

The Panic Room did it for me. I have watched a lot of scary movies, but this one scared me the most...and I watched it when my husband was up deer hunting.

| Clockwork Orange and Cape Fear. When I was married I watched lots of scary movies I hadn't seen before. I don't watch them now that I am alone. |

| I saw the original Night of the Living Dead also. It scare the pooh out of me LOL!!! |

| Years ago my neighbor had rented "Silence of the Lamb" and gave it to me to watch before he took it back. Harry was gone that weekend and I put it in while I was cleaning. Holy cow, it scared me so bad I had to turn it off. I'm another that can't watch any of those Halloween movies--even if I'm not home alone. I saw about 10 or 15 minutes of Clockwork Orange and it was making me feel really queasy--it got turned off too, much to my teenage daughter's chargrin! Give me a good chick flick and I'm happy! |

Salem's Lot the TV 4 hour version with David Soul
I say 4 hours since it was on 4 nights in a row back in 1979 it is available thru amazon and maybe netflix Amazon.com: Salem's Lot: David Soul, James Mason, Lance Kerwin ...The "cut-to-shreds" movie version is not worth the blank video it was taped on. ... Published 4 months ago by Anastasia M. Ondic ... Salem's Lot is a made-for-TV horror movie that aired in November 1979, based on the novel by Stephen King. ... salems lot has to be one of the best 3 hours one can spend watching |

| I agree with Silence of the Lambs. Movies are even scarier when you realize there are real life people that are sick enough to do that stuff. The "scary" movies that are fake (with monsters and scissors hands, aren't as scary cause you know they're fake......make sense?? lol |

| tally, I thought Paranormal Activity was scary!! I'm a At least I thought so. It reminded me of the Blair Witch Project, but I thought BWP was scarier than Paranormal Activity. I guess everyone has their own ideas of what is scary or not, and it was definitely more of a psychological thriller. |

| Speaking of scary movies, watched a Biography program early this morning (couldn't sleep), about Stephen King. Alot of his books are inspired by his own experiences in life. I didn't know that, he and his family spent time in a hotel in Colorado just like the one in The Shining. Not a good movie to watch alone, at night. |

I saw The Uninvited last week, it gave me a good shivver because you actually see the bad ghost. I love that movie.
My Dad had a crush on Gail Russell at the time it came out in the early 1940's. |

| Surprise - Stottlemeyer (Monk) also played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. Talk about opposing roles!! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Ted Levine (Stottlemeyer/Buffalo Bill

| I'm not a fan of scary movies but the other night my son and I watched "Dreamcatcher"...ICK...I kept covering my eyes!! After that was over we watched a show called "Impaled" where four people had huge objects rammed into different parts of their bodies...that gave me heart palps...It is amazing these four guys survived what happened to them but they did...that was scary movie in the REAL!! |

| After all these years, the original Psycho still scares me to death. I will not get in the shower when I'm home alone, thanks to that movie. |
