Personal horror movie to this day, is still well. I don't know.
I can't remember what's horrifying to me any more. I've desensetized myself over the years.
Hrm...There has been only two movies that have actually scared me beyond all reason:
Jaws (I was 5 and already scared of the water). Signs (For I was out of state on a camping trip, saw it alone, was 13, left alone in a tent, and kept hearing twigs snap all night......I was really scared then)
But other than that. I don't know
I have to say, best character of all time (in my opinion): Dr. Hannibal Lector.

Lol Yeah I did too..
Saw I though..haven't seen II. I was a paranoid kid....that's why Signs scared me.
I laughed at Saw I for the acting was horrible. But I loved the idea behind the characters and the way the "killer" worked.

Hrm...little kids are funny characters. I may have been young, but by no means a young child at heart.
I was reading Stephen King in second grade....much to my private school's dislike.

I was much to shy of a kid to do that.
Anymore though, I would punch someone in the face if they took my book away.
Someone tried that last year, I am going to quote him on this, "Only faggots read books." He then tried to grab my book, he better be glad that the teacher came back before I broke his elbow.
I feel sorry for his kind though, raised to believe that those who read are the worst of society and that strength is what matters.
-sigh- Amerikans.

I wanted to hit him. But I prefer causing long term damage to people, if I want to.
Long term makes them remember what they did, and hopefully makes them change their ways.
If not, then well they deserve to suffer.
A broken elbow never truly heals biggrin
