[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 602132, member: 1721"] Both husband and I thought 'Salem's Lot was the scariest movie we'd ever seen. Here is an interesting thing: Scary movies run a fine line between scaring us and making us laugh. Remember the old Frankenstein, and Boris Karloff??? Bella Lugosi, and the enslaved-by-his-own-wish-for-Eternal-life, bug-eating Dracula's assistant?!? You never do know whether to laugh or believe it for a minute, or what! But horror movies, and slasher movies, even those crime shows on television where they just have to show something horrible? Yuck. Dexter is horrifying, to me. I like my horror with a good dose of humor thrown in. Or ambivalence. Remember when the vampire in 'Salem's Lot bops the parents' heads together? Now, THAT was scary. And yet...horrifyingly funny, at the same time. And then, the poor priest loses his faith, and so you KNOW it wasn't funny...but, still.... Ooo. I'm going to have to watch that movie, again.
