Fun Fun Fun

So I LOVE horror movies. There is nothing more fun than sitting in the dark and watching them. I, of course, am terrified the whole time and usually have my husbands arm to hold, or my 15 year old son's arm - which he's never too happy about but hey I'm his mother so he can be nice. I must say that they certainly have changed over the years and not for the good. What happened to the good old days when not seeing something was better? Now I have seen some films that are bloody and scary but it seems that too many movies now adays go for the high gore just to sell. Now its hard not to be a horror purist when you grew up in the 70s and 80s with such masterpieces as "Halloween", "The Exorcist", and everyones summer time favorite (and truely the reason I never swim in any body of water in the dark) "Jaws". I think there are some great young directors out there and I hope this genre goes back t its roots. I'm excited to watch NBC's "fear Itself" tonight, looks like it may be good.
