Scared n Lovin it..
The other night I watched "The Exorcist 2" and was thoroughly bored by it.
Dunno how but somehow Horror has become equated to lots of gore + gooey blood. While that may induce u to puke ..it sure doesn't scare u.
The one film which really scared the shit out of me was"The Omen". I first saw it wen I was around 10 and could'nt sleep for a coupla days.
Because of the success of this film .. there were a number of sequels.. which were all crap.
This film also popularised the concept of the Devil's No-666.However this is a misconception.
:-) As the story goes..The devil appeared to an ancient prophet in a dream.The prophet was so scared by the experience that he lost his power of speech.
On waking up, he drew a picture of the devil..and put the number 666 on his head. However, while dreaming human beings see numbers inverted... so wat the prophet actually saw was 999.
Probably u knew that... if u r more of a reader...then checkout
Stephen King's " Salem's Lot" or John Saul's "Creature"..
so..."Ave Satani!"
