It's that time of year when we're inundated with horror films both at the theatre and on tv. So what's the scariest/best one you've ever seen? The one that wouldn't let you sleep at night, or if you did...only with the lights on?
For me the choice is easy...The Exorcist. I saw this at the theatre a long, looooong time ago, and got so scared that I've never been willing or able to watch it again. I know my fear is irrational. If I were to watch it now, it probably wouldn't scare me because I'm older and the make-up/special effects...which were good at the time...would probably seem as dated and cheesy as the rubber shark in Jaws (still a great movie in spite of this). Guess I'm too big a chicken to find out.
