Thu 6/4/2009 10:02a | Yep, The Exorcist. I didn't even know about it until high school. Then I saw it on late night (actually, early morning) TV at a friend's house. I thought I was beyond being afraid at that age, but my walk home in the dark that night quite an adventure. |

Thu 6/4/2009 5:32p | Okay, back to the original topic.
I feel sorry for the original poster, he got shot down so much. But I can't call Up overly violent.
Bug's Life is way, way worse, with Hopper beating Flik into a pulp. And then the villain's chilling death scene...brrrr!
There is blood shown in the Fox and the Hound, Beauty and the Beast, Tarzan and other great films.
I grew up in the 70s when TV cartoons had all the violence removed until the heroes couldn't look cross-eyed at the villains without somebody crying foul. Ugh!
I loved Up, as I posted in another thread.
Oh, and though I haven't watched most of the frightening films you guys listed, I did see Wizard of Oz. When I was a kid, we watched it every year. I used to sit where no one could see me closing my eyes whenever the witch appeared.

BINGO! I felt the exact same way, Dabob. Hate, hate, HATE clowns and Poltergeist was so good at pushing so many ICK buttons. Loved how the clowns face changed from happy to demonic when he was attacking the boy. |

I went to see it in the theaters when it was first released at the old Paramount theater in Hollywood -- that was a few years before the theater was purchased by Disney and Pacific Theaters and it became the El Capitan. |

I agree, it was a dud. |

I enjoyed it as did my wife, my 6 year old and even my 3 year old sat through most of it. With that my cross appeal it is no wonder it maintained the box office lead this week.
