Boris Karloff

Christopher Lee
Peter Cushing
Vincent Price

I still say Lugosi is a bit wooden as an actor. Dracula although a fine film is spoilt by Lugosi doing a bad impersonation of Leslie Nielson. (Lugosi had a time machine, bet you didn't know that)

In terms of films, I watched the fairly dreadful Shark in Venice last night along with Shaft, which is still a great watch, and Woody Allen's Love and Death which I probably appreciated more now than I would have a year or so ago as Tolstoy's novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina is still fairly fresh in my mind.

I finished True Blood season 2 a couple of months ago, thought it was a step up from the first series, which itself was very good.

* following on from another thread. My "to buy" wishlist of around £1000 is made up of quite a lot of tv series i need to catch up with - 5 series of the Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Supernatural, Smallville, Las Vegas, Dallas, CSI, 2 and a half Men. They all need at least one series buying, in some cases 3 or 4. Together with all the films and that gorgeous complete Avengers box set at £140 totals around a grand.

Probably won't get them all this week. I need to write a brilliant film review site like you Nos, then i could get half my films for free.

THE THING is one of the best non-CGI films ever made
would never see the crap prequel or whatever
it's just $$$$ at the end of the day
hopefully it bombs

I just let my 7 year old Niece watch EVIL DEAD 2 with me. Am I a bad person?

If I ever have a kid, I'd be letting them watch all that kind of stuff from the day their born. I'd want to raise my kid on those movies!

Does she now look like this?

If so, then yes you are a bad person.

Not necessarily. But there are certainly many movies out there which are more suitable for seven-year-olds. And also quite a few films which are better than Evil Dead II.

Greetings!

As long as she knew what she was watching was make-believe and you were there to explain any queries she had about the film, certainly not. Children probably should be exposed to horror films which are suitable for them and there are some excellent 'kid friendly' horror films around -- the last Harry Potter film is supposed to be one of them.
