Ghosts are much scarier than Slashers. Often it is what your mind sees rather than what your eyes see that scares the hell out of you.

The Evil Dead - Even though it was rather crappy, left me shaking like jelly.

The Legend of Hell House - One of the very best.

The Others - So well done, gave me goose bumps.

The Poltegeist - had its moments, as did the Exorcist, although more shocking than scary.

And recently the Ring managed to raise the hackles.

But my favourite is: The Sixth Sense. Not just scary, but a great story, well told, with superb acting and atmosphere. Almost the perfect movie.

John Carpenters' "the Thing" I could'nt walk by a dog for 2 weeks after seeing that. I've seen it dozens of times now, and I still find it fascinating.

That movie, I think it's called 'Don't Eat the Pictures', in which the SSS goes and profanes a bunch of art.

It was called Don't Eat The Pictures: Sesame Street At The Metropolitan Museum Of Art.

It was on TV in 1983 so what is the SSS stuff about?

Well, I haven't seen DETP since my second-grade teacher showed it (and I was pretty scared, too), but as I recall it involves a bunch of sickenly friendly philistines having to think about why it's bad to destroy art. I think the analogy to certain RHP points of view is pretty clear.

Actually the plot of DETP was about being trapped inside the museum overnight. The characters were some Sesame Street puppets and a boy with his invisible cat. There are no philistines, no SSS or anything. All you are doing here is attempting to stir up trouble because your god was banned. Apparently it would be a good idea to have you follow unless you are going to give up trying to stir up trouble in the forums. Tell you what, i hear Cribs started a forum for RHP bashing. A PM came from the penalcolonist account inviting me (I deleted the PM). Why don't you go there and trash RHP to your little hearts content and leave the forums here alone.

I'm not trashing RHP; 'tis the best website around IMO.

Cribs is not my God.

While I'm aware that DETP did not literally contain the SSS, it did contain a raving lunatic with a cookie fetish destroying a picture; if you actually wish to discuss this in some sense other than the tongue-in-cheek way in which it was intended, please use a literal definition of the word 'analogy'.

I am an active poster on that forum; that forum is not designed to bash RHP. In particular, I use it to practice my Hrothgarian.

Fine. Cribs is not your god nor was he ever your god. His forum's mission is to make the planet a better place for everyone. This is about scary movies if you can read the topic. Am I mistaken or did you say there is an analogy to the situation here? That my friend...wait...your not my friend...is bashing RHP becuse your vindictive considering your non-friend was banned.

I didn't say Cribs is my non-friend--he is not 'my god', whatever that may mean. I made no mention of RHP. I'm criticizing the point of view held by certain people on RHP. If that constitutes bashing RHp then you are also bashing RHp by criticizing my point of view.

Face it. You have been seen for what you are and what your doing. I would think after all that transpired you would want to tread carefully but apparently you could care less. I think you should do us all a favor and exile yourself to Cribs forum and stop polluting RHP with your trash. Go ahead and alert this post if you want (as I am sure Cribs is doing right now).

Perhaps we could find a mod willing to ban the use of three S's in a row for a few hours..you know, just long enough to get RC removed. Then we would not have to read his posts anymore! 😉

My little horror was an oldie titled Motel Hell so named because the neon "o" in "hello" was faulty. Story goes that the proprietors were (in)famous for their "white pudding" and the whole plot revolves around just how they achieved the "unique " taste. Scarrry. especially the harvesting process! Yuk! It's become a bit of a 'B' grade cult movie.....and whats the SSS?
