I'm not particularly into the horror genre myself, books or film, so the only one of these I've personally seen has been the Exorcist.William Kendallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-69928723039413484772011-10-25T16:54:00.709-04:002011-10-25T16:54:00.709-04:00You missed why the Exorcist is scary.

Just like Frankenstein (which is scary because it suggests that god does not exist-terrifying to Christians), the Exorcist suggests that god is in fact weaker than the devil and unable to protect his own servant versus one of the devil's demons. The priest is unable to overcome the demon and must commit suicide (a heinous act in the eyes of the Catholic church) in order to prevent possession. THAT is why it is terrifying. No one cares about the split pea soup.Michael Offutthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1281469968333860626.post-34213730964003227102011-10-25T15:08:29.505-04:002011-10-25T15:08:29.505-04:00I'm not much of a horror movie fan.

The only movie on your list that I've seen is The Exoricst.<br><br>I'm watching The Walking Dead now and have discovered that zombies apparently scare the crap out of me. Now I will only watch episodes in the middle of the day.M.J. Fifieldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15626475963328519693noreply@blogger.com
