....it creeps and leaps ....and glides and slides across the floor ...right through the door ....and all around the wall ...a splotch, a blotch.....de dum-de dum dum

Stop it! You're making me ascared! I'll never get to sleep.

My kids love that movie among other retros, including old war movies. It’s funny, my kids talk like FReepers when it comes to modern ‘kid’ programming.

All girls and heartier than most of the boys they know.

my older kids were watching Walking Dead the other night and I looked over by the fireplace in a big leather Baron's chair and half hidden and "little man"...just turned four...was watching too...they were just on the scene where the zombies were trying to get in the tank and were tearing the horse into blood and guts tender morsels ala Romero (1968)

i yanked him about then with his eyes like saucers and his hair looking like he had touched a van der graaf generator..lol...needless to say every third utterance now is about zombies and he's nestled in our bedroom for sleeping on a pallet with our American bulldog as his companion or worse ...he has woke up and crawled in bed with us at 4AM talking of zombies eating the dog

big irony is I myself got shook up too at aged 10 watching Night of the Living Dead in 1968 at the drive in...scary for the time...came home and asked my folks if I could sleep by their door in the hallway...parents were more Spartan then...and boys had brows and adams apples

I have a higher level of respect for any FReeper that admits to having gone to midnight showings of Rocky Horror.

Poltergeist scared the living sh*t out of me - that frigging clown was terrifying. :(

Porky’s. They could have based a knitting class off of that flick.

“Yeah, I went to a restaurant, they served me $#!+. I knew it was $#!+ but I ate it anyway. I even watched as my kids ate $#!+, too....

[paulycy]

Coulda been worse. Coulda been a Michael Moore film.

>>Porky’s

I think Bob Clark got to film his pet project A Christmas Story after he did so well with Porky’s. Sadly Clark and his son were killed in a car crash by a drunken illegal alien.

[GOPsterinMA]

Really? Those 2 flicks just don’t naturally go together. :)

I remember that - the car crash. RIP. “Celebrate Diversity”, right? (I can hear the Howie car horn sound effect) Disgusting. Truly disgusting.

[raccoonradio]

It would be even funnier if someone went to see a Michael Moore film and instead got something like:

—An American Carol (spoofs Moore and liberals, from one of
the makers of Airplane!)

—Films like Celsius 41.11 or FahrenHYPE 9/11 which took Moore to task

—The recent anti-Obama I Want Your Money which I guess
managed to get released in a couple dozen theatres

and so on.

But they never expected the gore and violent horror film Saw. The children were told to cover their eyes in the scenes of murder and mutilation played for several minutes before the movie theater corrected the problem.

And not one parent had the common sense to get up and walk out and complain LOUDLY to the management?

[decisis]

Stupid a## parents could have left but they didn’t. Now they will sue for millions.

[The Comedian]

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!" ping.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

>>The children were told to cover their eyes in the scenes of murder and mutilation played for several minutes before the movie theater corrected the problem.

Someone must have (gotten up to complain) . I think they have projectionists who
go from theater to theater starting it up, monitoring it for a couple minutes, then move to next theater. Maybe it started playing the usual previews, etc. and the projectionist left
just before it turned into “Saw” (or they were distracted by texting or something!) so someone had to go and complain to
management, I’ll bet.

[Slings and Arrows]

It would be even funnier if the someone was Michael Moore.

(well, my GF did too and she wanted to play Gladiator and slave that night, but anyhow..)

TMI.

Seems a lot of couples go through that Gladiator / slave phase in their romantic life...

movie mixup for me: first showing of Born on the Fourth of July. Suddenly it turns into something about giant worms. Turns out a reel of the forthcoming “Tremors” got mixed in.

That could only have improved that flick.
