It is a lot of fun collaborating and sharing work!



Interview with the Vampire is definitely one of my favorites too! It is definitely horror in my opionion. Not all horror needs to be gorey and bloody. Sometimes the atmospheric horror is the scariest kind of all.

I;m not surprised you love horror movies Monica since you have such great taste in books! I've been rewatching a lot of the old horror movies from the 80's like Friday the 13th and Halloween franchise since its been on tv for Halloween. Edited versions are never as good though.




Speaking of "It", in one part of the movie two of them are talking about how people are so used to seeing and hearing about violence that they just turn their back and refuse to get involved, and how when she was a child, her neighbor saw her getting picked on and just turned his back and went in his house. It happens everyday now all over the world.

I have the same problem Evie! I have to force my boyfriend to watch horror movies with me. One of the scariest movies I've ever seen is the french film, Inside (2007). Also, REC, a spanish film. I can't wait to see The Babadook.... that one looks sooo scary!!!



I forgot about Dread. That was a really interesting movie. I need to watch it again. I haven't seen nor heard of Coming Soon. Can't seem to find it on IMDb though. Do you have more info?


Rest Stop scared the crape out of me! I saw it when it first came out and I still think about it every time we travel. Lol.
I caught some bug a day or so ago, so I was up all night with my low-grade fever and my sore throat. I stumbled upon a pretty creepy movie just as it was starting.
It was called Darkness . Not bad. Not bad at all.

I don't watch slasher movies, in fact I have never watched a single installment of the Friday the 13th franchise. Blood and guts and violence have their place. I thoroughly enjoy HBO's Game of Thrones; someone is always being decapitated, or having limbs (or other things.......I have never seen a show with so many eunuchs in my life!)chopped off, and I find it all entertaining. In S4 of the Sopranos, I can't get enough of the scene where Tony beats Ralphie to death......I love a good bloody revenge fantasy. Blood-n-guts just isn't scary.
Likewise aliens, most monsters and anything to do with demonic possession. For instance, The Conjuring started out great and I was loving the film until it changed from a haunted house movie to a demonic possession flick. I was doing great until this dialog came up: "Your children aren't baptized, this makes it more difficult".......then I got up and went to work on a project and sort of half watched until the end.
I love haunted house movies, but that is probably due to my lifelong fascination with old houses. I absolutely adored the first season of American Horror Story; the house was thoroughly amazing and desirable in every way. I watched a few episodes of the second season and gave up on the show; without a fabulous house to obsess over the series lacked that compelling need to watch.
As hard as it must be to write horror fiction, I think the challenge is multiplied in film form. It is easy for a reader to come up with an image that is most frightening to them, and to maintain the suspension of disbelief, than for a film maker to do so successfully with the visuals provided.
Aside from my Halloweek Pumpkin Carving Film Fest I rarely watch them.
On a side note, this week I scored a DVD of Rosemary's Baby for $5. Although this movie hasn't scared me in years, it is a masterpiece of film making. I just watch it for fantasy reasons (being a homemaker living in a delicious, huge apartment overlooking Central Park.............sooooooooooooooo different from my own personal young-person-starving-in-new-york, can-only-afford-a-studio-in-jersey, work-every-minute-to-pay-the-bills-with-no-money-left-over-to-buy-any-of-the-tempting-luxuries-on-display experience).
In spite of the goofiness of the original Wicker Man it is a favorite as well. I just find something so eternally gratifying in pagans running amok and sacrificing people. Must be part of my love for revenge fantasies.
Revenge, how sweet it is. One of my favorite 'revenge' authors is Sidney Sheldon. Love revenge books.


Stephen King's "It" scared the crap out of me as well as "The Shining"

I really liked Abraham Lincoln Vampire Killer! I love the way the author tweeked real history just enough to make you say "OMG That could have really happened!" It's just so well built into the timeline.


It's funny that I have never lost sleep over a horror movie, but every time I watch the walking Dead I'm guaranteed to dream about it all. Maybe it's just the prepper in me...lol


I am also open to guest posts. So if any of you writers/aspiring writers like talking about movies, maybe we can work something out! Doesn't have to ONLY be horror... anything weird will do!
