Of course, I won't be going out of my way to see it. I'm hoping to catch it on cable. I hardly watch television so I'm not aware of the movies telecast, and nor do I buy movie CDs anymore. Nowadays almost every good film is shown on cable within a couple of months or so.Prashant C.

In fact, if I sleep with my TV on I make sure it's on CNN or something. One night I woke up and there it was on HBO or one of those channels, THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE. <br /><br />Like you I should shun all horror films. I remember watching THE THING with Kurt Russell. It doesn't scare me now but it did when I was a tween. whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18030571187291039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-67914278385813414702014-04-04T06:15:52.834-07:002014-04-04T06:15:52.834-07:00Col, I don't remember seeing THE MIST and will...Col, I don't remember seeing THE MIST and will check it out when I get a chance, although I'll have a comedy any day.Prashant C.

I'd never heard of THE LEOPARD MAN before and going by your brief I don't think I want to see it. I don't mind watching films that are more thrillers than horror particularly from the black and white era.Prashant C.

THE EXORCIST is the one film that I can't watch again, however well made. A couple of years ago, I watched THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE but without much interest or inclination. It was no patch on THE EXORCIST. Now I shun horror films almost entirely though I don't mind horror fiction, which is easier on the eyes if not on the mind.Prashant C.

Though as I a kid I did see my fair share and don't seem any the worse for it. Ha. I do remember the movie that turned me off horror even though it was not actually a horror movie as we know today. THE LEOPARD MAN. An innocuous serial killer movie with one scene in which all that is seen is blood seeping under the door. But it's the context of the scene which scared me to death. So much so that I never could see the movie again until very a couple of years ago. That's a long time.

I grew obsessed about wanting to know the true story behind it. I'm not sure if I believe it either. If something like this was indeed credible then where was the evidence? <br /><br />I can't watch Amityville Horror. I remember those demon eyes in the window that gave me nightmares.<br /><br />I don't do well with movies of possession and demons and such. The Exorcist I can rewatch but there are some scenes I have to put my hand up to cover my eyes like the image of the demon possessed Reagan as it is waiting for the exorcist as he is getting ready to enter the home. And I really hated the subliminal images used all throughout the film. I'd rather watch Poltergeist (first film only).
