> Did anyone watch DEXTER last night????

I did. I hate predictable writing, and they ususally don't do that to me. I knew Bundy would be hit, but adding Deb into the formula did spark some interest!

I have only seen bits of this but know enough about Dario Argento to know he's one freaky guy.

I love the "ALIEN" series!!!!!!

Just how it is so erie, the thought of being all alone in space confined to a cold metal tin can floating in space with a flesh devouring sulphiric acid blooded alien. Just the thought is a truly genuine idea!!!!!!!!!!!

High Tension is a French film about 2 girls in rural France who deal with the murder of one girl's family. It is very creepy and has a Hitchcockian ending. Cecile De France is wonderful.

Wicky, I think your daughter and I would hit it off nicely.
I saw The Exorcist when I was about 12, I think.
One of mom's church friends refused to even drive by the theater where it was playing.
The Shining should have been on my list, too.

She has a locked bookcase full of autographed first edition books by Clive Barker.

I'm amazed at the number of people who like "The Thing".
I thought I was the only one.
Just keep swinging at its' arms.

1. John Carpenter's Halloween
2. Night of the Living Dead
3. American Werewolf in London
4. The Thing
5. Creep Show

These are the five top horror movies (not according to me, but to my daughter, who is a horror movie freak).

I don't have a list of my own.

Gorillas in the Mist. Dian Fossey was so passionate.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques
Dick Cheney has recently threatened to not cooperate with a Justice Department probe. Since we are in a time of war and they are trying to find out information of national security, would enhanced interrogation techniques be appropriate?
