The perfect Venn Diagram
I enjoy tense/scary movies but I cannot handle the gore in most horror films. Which is why old school/pre-Texas Chainsaw Massacre horror films are perfect for me. Those movies can really ratchet up the tension with nary a dismemberment in sight. I even enjoy the low-tech special effects that some films pull off. And I know some of those movies are terrible. I've seen a bunch of them on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (like Killer Shrews, The Horrors of Spider Island, Manos: The Hands of Fate, and Tormented). But it is a genre that has its high points as well like Cat People, The Univnvited, or the Bride of Frankenstein. So for the month of October, I am going to highlight some of my favorite scary movies (and most of them will feature very little gore). And maybe this year will be the year I finally see Gregory Peck in The Omen (very unlikely though).
