I have an itch that hasn't been scratched in over 20 years and never really thought I'd look at it again. I guess it was the Scream streak, so Kevin Williamson is on the brain and I actually want to revisit I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Maybe I can make sense of it this time around :P

Scary Movie parodied those movies so hard that I can't take them seriously even if I tried.

The Shining (1980). Somewhere in the top 25 probably.

Really? I love Blood Diner. Absolutely ridiculous film.

I'm one of those people who can get turned off if a movie's too goofy. It's not always the case - as zombie mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm a big fan of Hausu - but most of the time, if a movie's too silly, it doesn't do it for me (Nightmare Sisters is another one that immediately comes to mind; can't stand it whatsoever).

I should rewatch Oculus. I thought it was kind of among the better newer horror flicks and I thought the final ending window scene was awesome. But don't really remember the structure of the movie very well.

Get Out could not get out of my DVD player fast enough. I was excited for that one too. Damn
do you own it? watch it! ::P

Well, Screams were intentionally funny while still being horror, but I Know was definitely skewered to hell lol.

Me too, though I know it was Shudder's decision. "But we spread out more episodes!" Meh, it's not the same vibe, man! The double/triple/quadruple features where what added the flavor and charm to the shows, even before his comeback.
