Yeah, Lucy Westenra in the film is a great character, though slightly different from the beuk.

Onyway, Hopkins' Van Helsing is the best ever!

Not the bubbles, but she did carry the balloons, and she had sharp pointy teeth. LOL

I have to agree with the Changeling. The scene with the ball bouncing down the stairs still manages to give me goosebumps just thinking about it.

The other movie that has always left a deep impression on me was the third piece in the Trilogy of Terror. The one where the little doll comes to life and chases the woman around her apt trying to kill her. When I was a child that movie scared me so much.

I never found the Shining to be very scary. I guess I was just really disappointed in the movie as I thought it didn't do the book justice. I know I am in the minority with this opinion.

For those that thought that Amityville Horror was a scary movie (which I agree it was), I suggest reading the book if you haven't already. I think the book scared me more than any movie ever has. I was alone in my dorm room when I finished it and I ended up sleeping with the light on.

PRgirl: I can't believe it, but Clover you remembered that scene. I think it is super scary too. That weird doll coming to life (I think it was cursed) and chasing that woman around the apartment, and she didn't know when it would strike next. I think it was some 'cursed' doll. I found that very scary. I asked another person about it and they remembered it as very scary too. Hmmm, I didn't think anyone remembered it, for I think it was some kind of movie made in the 1970's. I found the "Exorcist" the original one very scary. The other in the series were not. I never have seen the 'changeling'. Some horror flicks are just macabre or gross instead of being scary. Truly scary movies are believable and have the anxiety and the suspense factor involved. And a good plot and story line. I don't know why there aren't more good ones? Maybe because they need to be well made and so on to get people truly scared. And horror is not easy.

Some of those flicks in which horrible contagious diseases are involved are not convincing. But I guess it could happen. I think the filmmaker has the responsibility of 'selling' the story to us as probable, and make the characters interesting and believable too. Bad story lines never convince. They are laughable and at worst bore us to death and we aren't scared at all.

Clover brought back that really scary thing the attacking doll in the apartment. For some reason that trilogy was very scary.
