Bucky: Yeah, I'd say this type of movie is the most common horror movie nowadays. Rob: What type? Bucky: The people-getting-up-in-the-camera-and-screeching-like-bird genre. Rob: Well, that's ridiculous, it- Satchel: Hey guy! What's on? Bucky: Don't tell him, Rob! Let's test my theory... Guess the horror movie, Satchel: There's tons of people shoving their faces in the camera and screeching like birds... Satchel: Awww... I can't get it from that! They're all like that!

Bucky and Satch are right. The most frightening horror films don’t have screeching, just silent terror, like “The Haunting” with Julie Harris, from the Shirley Jackson story “The Haunting of Hill House” where you never see a monster or ghost.

The movie adaption of “Turn of the Screw” I think called “The Innoncents” was the most frightening movie I ever saw.

I love Rob’s expression in the last panel. It looks like he’s thinking “Wow, maybe they’re right.”

I always found the original silent Nosferatu kind of cute, and pathetic in the original sense of the word. Not scary.

“Reality TV” is an oxymoron if ever there was one. They should call it what it is, “budget padding.”

I have to admit, that when “The Blob” came out, I was just the right age to be creeped out beyond belief……sitting in a theater, watching it squeeze through the vent of a theater……Too much for the kid….And yeah, the Invasion Of the Body Snatchers ……..Man……

wow, Bucky actually made an astute observation. Whether we disagree with it or not we have to acknowledge that in this universe someone who does not often share his opinion came to the same conclusion without bias or prior knowledge.

The 1950’s also gave us Plan 9 from Outer Space (not all winners).

The Final scene from Carrie with the hand reaching up from the grave scared the C##P out of me the first time I saw it. And even knowing it’s coming still gives me the chills every time I see it again.

The 1978 remake of “Body Snatchers” (with Leonard Nimoy :) wasn’t too shabby. Now the more recent remakes looked pretty lame.

That hand holding bit made quite an impression on me as a kid. I don’t care much for horror now, but that is a classic I might watch again.

It’s what you don’t see that’s really scary.

The scariest movies to me are The Ring, Dead Silence (I think the one with the creepy old lady making people into dolls), and even the lady in black was a little scary…
I still haven’t watched the exorcist, I am scared to.

I don’t think Bucky is dismissing the horror genre as if no one else has a right to enjoy it; he’s just pointing out that all the movies in that genre are copying one another.
