I love scary movies, but I particularly like them this time of year -- so much so that I watch, on average, at least one scary movie a night during the week, usually several on the weekend.
That said, the odds of my picking a turkey of a flick are pretty high in October, as was the case Saturday when I rented "House of the Dead" at Blockbuster. (Yes, I still go to Blockbuster to supplement my Netflix addiction.)
Anyway, that movie sucked so badly that I only watched the first 30 minutes. It easily ranks as one of the worst scary movies ever.
So I promptly complained on Facebook, partly to field others' suggestions on which horror films to avoid. The most popular responses were "Motel Hell" (haven't seen that one), "The Hills Have Eyes," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and the Chucky franchise.
Other notable responses included "Last House on the Left," "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" (never heard of that one) "1,001 Maniacs," "Bug" (I've purposefully avoided this one), "In a Dark Place" and, my favorite answer from the thread, "Pretty Woman."
So what's the worst scary movie you've ever seen?
Peace, love and hills with eyes ... XOXO
