What Makes a Movie Scary?-- Part 1: A to E
From the October 24, 2019, Chicago Tribune by Rafer Guzman.
What makes a horror movie scary? Some say its the jump-scare, that "Boo" moment that jolts you. (That gets me every time.) Others say its a particularly horrible looking monster, otehrs a preponderance of blood, guts and gore.
Here is a list of pretty good horror movies in alphabetical order (and just in time for Halloween):
** ALIEN (1979) Basically "Jaws in Space" according to director Ridley Scott. Where, oh where, is that monster and it is pretty dark.
AUDITION (1999) I didn't see this one. But they say the second half "must be seen to be believed."
** THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (1999) "Found film footage." Pretty creepy. I wouldn't go into the woods.
** THE EVIL DEAD (1981) Don't play that videotape, folks.
** THE EXORCIST (1973) They said it was so scary, people fainted. I didn't see anybody faint, but pretty creepy anyway. And, those scary bells.
** Means I've seen it.
