Dark Shadows

Suzie over at Cat In The Pumpkin Moon recently posted a clip from the upcoming movie Dark Shadows.

The original show was an ongoing soap opera. I can remember rushing home from school every afternoon to watch it - never wanting to miss a second of it. And even though this movie isn't quite like the original show, I do believe Tim Burton and Johnny Depp will make it a MOST AWESOME viewing experience. 

{{sigh}} Why can't I have a demon in the family like Barnabas?    

My First Scary Movie

I can still remember the first movie that SCARED the willies out of me! It was the movie, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, starring Don Knotts. I was 6 yrs old when I saw it and even though the movie itself is not a scary one, to my young mind all I could think about was the organ that played on its own.

In the film, Don Knotts plays a wannabe newspaper reporter who is assigned to spend the night in a mansion where a murder/suicide was committed 20 yrs earlier. Legend says that the ghost of Mr. Simmons, who murdered his wife, plays the organ at night. At midnight, Knotts sees the old organ begin to play by itself. Knott's newspaper article about his night's experiences results in a court case which then leads to the discovery of the real murderer.

Since seeing that movie (and getting over my fear of the dark), I have developed a love for good suspense filled movies. No blood, guts or gore for me!

What is the first scary movie you can remember seeing??
