I seldom watch horror movies with killing. I tried to watch 'Jeepers Creepers', but it got too complex to make a whole lotta sense. My fantasy mind is not up to horror movies.
WELBY! She has perfect pitch and has 5 ranges. She is her own instrument. LOL I guess that is why every note has to have all 5 ranges in it over and over and over again.
That last sentence you wrote - - EXACTLY! Ha! That is why I so often turn her off - - I sometimes like her singing voice actually, it's that she so often feels the need to scream -- woops - - I mean, sing those upper register notes way up there in the fifth octave in the sky. :)
I try not to think of nor go to scary movies. For some reason, being scared or having body parts spewing out, around, and off people just isn't up my alley as a form of entertainment. I have seen a few but don't really enjoy them. Because Anthony Hopkins did such a believable character, "Silence of Lambs" stuck with me for a while. It was more the acting than the topic. Still, they both spooked me.
(I admit I really like this movie. It's based on Richard Adams' novel which I also really like. I like even more Adams' "The Plague Dogs" -- and the animated movie they made from it is great for me, too. But Slartibartfast is right -- these ain't no kiddie cartoons.) :)

OMG -- yeah, I was very much an adult when I saw the movie. I didn't read your posted answer carefully enough. As a nine-year old I'd have been taken out, too.
In fact I could not watch most of the gory massacre, which was based on an only too real incident even though the film's central story - which I seem to recall was a romance between a native American woman and a US Cavalry man - was fictional.
Another scene I found very disturbing the first time I heard it on the radio, is not from a film but an opera - Dialogues des Carmélites , by Francis Poulenc. Written in 1956, its central character is a girl who to the distress of her parents, joins a small Carmelite convent at the time of the French Revolution and the ensuing 'Reign of Terror'. The finale has the dozen nuns evicted from their retreat by the Revolutionary thugs, and one by one led off-stage to be guillotined, each marked by a loud, off-beat crash punctuating the remaining women singing the 'Salve Regina'. Even though my experience of it was purely aural, it made me feel rather queasy. Also angry and baffled at the utter pointlessness and brutality of the murders, because like Soldier Blue a decade or so later, it does reflect a real atrocity; though the dispersal of the original convent and subsequent "trial" and execution of its 16 nuns was more involved than the opera's version.
