    Psycho movie never scared me even when I watched it for the first time as a young teen. The Birds didn't scare me either. Most of the movies that scared my friends, didn't bother me at all. I had to pretend to be scared! The old classic The Fly really creeped me out, I couldn't watch it again for years. I will admit Jaws came close to keeping me out of the ocean for a long time. LOL. I'm more of a Twilight Zone type of scare person.

    I think one of the scariest movies I've ever watched was "War of The Worlds", the original one.

    Love the older horror shows from Hitchcock but not the really bloody gory ones, I like to be surprised not nauseated. I did just re-watch Hocus Pocus and some of the older Dracula and The Mummy (newer ones) Gives me something to do while I try to walk on the treadmill.

    I have watched these quite a few times this month-as well as Twitches. I do not like the gory screamer movies. Give me Disney

    Hocus Pocus is a fun Halloween movie, but my favorite is Frankenweenie.

    Mad Monster Party with Phyllis Diller and Boris Karloff. they were marionettes, and they all went to an island for a party. it was an all star cast in 1967, really cute for it's time. I knew i'd remember it(see post 9).

    I hate gore, and blood, and I hate having nightmares and sleeping with the light on on my back so no one, boogie man, can get me.

    Hocus Pocus for sure. I watch it every year. Oh and I can't forget The Great Pumpkin with Charlie Brown.

    My daughters found a cute movie - Monster Squad - it is cute but not scary. I enjoy watching the original "Dracula", "Frankenstein", "Wolfman". The ones made in the 30's maybe the 40's, not sure. I don't like the really scary things they make now. But I really did enjoy "Hotel Transylvania" and "Hotel Transylvania 2". I like to laugh when I watch movies.

    I'm with you, I love these older movies and I love that they are B&W, reminds me of my childhood. As a child I was scared, now I find them entertaining and truly enjoy them.
