Yes, I own that one on DVD. It's certainly the second best in the series, and the twist that Craven takes us on is quite good. Freddy has seldom been better. And I highly recommend The Birds. Despite not being Hitch's greatetst it still is an impressive example of pure horror. The skillful un-use of music (if you know what I mean) is very, very effective. Scariest scene: Spoilers! The man with no eye. Creepy. /Spoilers! |

| What, in your opinion, is the scariest scene of the whole film? |

Probably when the spector of the Grady twins appears before Danny in the hallway. Sends chills down my spine even if I watching the movie in a well-lit room at noon.

My thought exactly. Especially when you suddenly dismemebered parts of their bodies and blood on the wall... frightening. |

How longs it been since you've seen this movie?
I remember it being o.k, but I was wrong, way wrong.
the early 80's technology was hilarious, and that
half an hour werewolf tranformation cracked me up.
I payed $1.50AU for it, and was severely ripped off.

I just watched it a couple weeks ago, after getting the special edition on disc; it's my favorite werewolf movie. What can I say, I think it's witty, has a good story and cool werewolves.

fair enough,
each to his own.
Im interested in watching the rest of the series too,
how many did they make? 4 I think it was.
I've seen ginger snaps at my local vid store,
never payed it any respect, I might have to check
this one out.

Oh, no, no, no. Last count, I think it was around seven. And if you didn't like the first, well, the quality plummets fairly quickly. That said, Howling III is cheesy fun, and as I remember it there's one that takes place in a circus and includes a vampire that's not so bad. And watch Howling: New Moon Rising at the peril of your sanity.

Hello everyone. I am with the international baccalaureate program and I am writing my extended essay on the effects of the Shining on the Stanely Hotel's success. I would love to interview some of you Stanely Kubrick's The Shining fans over IM or email. If any of you are interested in helping me by answering a few questions, that would be awesome. If you are interested, please email me at Mysvr5@aol.com or IM me at mysvr5 (that is my aol account obviously). I may not be able to check my email for a little while because my computer is down, and I am writing this from school. I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you so much for your time!
