scary moments in the horror ****
Back before cgi and all that stuff we were watching Dracula and the Hammer House of Horror stuff. Usually with Christopher Lee cast as the monster. They were all vampire related storys having a hapless hero or two, a beautiful heroine and of course Chris the menacing monster. Some time around the 60's and 70's things changed with people like Hitch and Stanley Kubrick upping the game and widening the scope of the horror genre.
These old movies were certainly passe when our local cinema started screening this old Hammer stuff at midnight on sundays. It was a cheepie and very popular with the university student who treated the whole thing as a joke. I well recall the evening when a packed auditorium of rowdy student was silenced and horrified when, at the 'scariest' moment in the movie, some wag released a live chichen into their midst. The frightened bird made an usuccessful but noisy attempt to fly through the screen and actually frightened everyone there. I have not seen a movie to beat that.
Maybe thats where the 'alien' people got that idea.. and isn't 'John Hurt' the perfect name for the actor playing Kane in that.

I believe scary movies are all based on your mind setting. I infact know that stuff like that can happen ( Chainsaw Massicure ) but other movies don't have a chance of happening. Besides I am into action and watching people get murdered so when so called "scary stuff" happends I am in for a nice laugh whistle everyone else is around me all bundled up like AHHH WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM??
I think it's pretty kool that back 10 years ago I use to lie awake fearing what would happen to me and now I can watch a scary movie and fall asleep to them. Nothing really scares me in a movie anymore.. but Candyman scared the piss out of me when I was smaller.

Yes a very good point well made. I remember when I was very young going to see a 1959 movie called 'Journey to the centre of the earth'. At that time the suspense was too much for me and I had to leave. I was so frightened.
It was on TV a while ago and about as interesting and 'scary' as paint drying..
