“I’m going to have to say ‘The Ring.’ The whole little girl thing freaks me out.”

— Della Romero, freshman,

“The original ‘Halloween.’ The main reason I like it is that I’ve been watching it since I was little, but I also like how the dialogue is written.”

— Skyler McCawley, freshman,

“I’m going to go with the new ‘Halloween.’ He’s there, and then when they turn to look at him, he’s gone.”

— DeJuan Franklin, freshman,

“‘Sweeny Todd,’ because it has Johnny Depp in it.”

— Akira Cowden, freshman,

“‘The Grudge 2.’ I love that movie, because it takes place in so many different settings, and the girl is so scary.”

— Melissa Morales, freshman,

“‘The Sixth Sense,’ because it had a whole bunch of creepy dead people, and I was afraid they were going to come haunt me.”

— Liza Stancliffe, eighth-grader,

Does To Wong Fu Thanks For Everything count? That was pretty scary. Mine is Killer Klowns from Outerspace and my husband's is the Nightmare on Elm Street Series.

The Wizard of Oz. It's not the flying monkeys or the witch thats scary...It's the guy behind the blue curtain. .Who is behind Obama's curtain pulling the levers?

The Mothman Prophecies freaked me out. Don't like 'horror'.

Without doubt, The Birds, with its otherworldly appeal.That little cat-kid in The Grudge freaked me out.Jacob's Ladder... hell as the bridge to redemption... one of my all-time Top Ten. Oh... and Ronda's BLOGs... "I see red people...."

TOB: Loved Shaun of the Dead. As the chaps on the Guiness commercials would say: "Brilliant!"

Halloween - the original one. Lot's of psychological terror. The fear of what you don't see is much more powerful than just plain gore. Out of the entire movie you only see about five seconds of blood.

"W". The ending is the best part.

bd: "'W'. The ending is the best part."I haven't seen it yet. I'm assuming that just before he leaves office the nuclear weapons all go off. It would seem like the only appropriate ending to an inappropriate presidency. Scariest movie: original "Night of the Living Dead." Saw it in the theaters as a kid when it first came out. I should not have been allowed in that theater. It scared the heck out of me, and is the only film that has ever given me nightmares. Of course, now I'm hooked on zombie movies. I think stem-cell research will eventually lead to a zombie army. Honest, I don't see a problem arising from that.
