This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

What Makes A Movie Scary?-- Part 3: Freddie and That Giant Skull
** Means I've seen it.
** A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)-- The movie that gave us blade-fingered Freddie Kreuger. Don't go to sleep or he'll get you. Freddie's kind of a funny guy at times.
** THE OMEN (1976)-- Hey, Damien is the demon child.
** POLTERGEIST (1982)-- That spooky old tree scared me, but not as bad as that huge skull coming out of the closet. I almost had to leave the theater when that happened. Man, that was scary.
** PSYCHO (1960)-- Alfred Hitchcock's mama's boy goes awry. You can check in, but I don't know about checking out.
** ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968)-- It's a slow-builder, but creepier the whole time.
