Darkfallen: Sure. That's the last time I sign something without reading it. Rob, word to the wise. Don't sign anything Greta gives you without a lawyer.... she already owns half of my soul.
Rob: Wait a minute...why did she tell me I had to sign a waver before I came in? Does that mean...

*both pat cushion in between the 'we're pretty sure they had their shots' girls* Greta: SO, Rob, before we start our man fest horror movie.... which we're sure you're excited about .... we were curious ---
What was your favorite scary movie as a kid?
I loved loved LOVED the Twilight Zone movie. You know, the one where Dan Ackroyd turns into a scary demon thingy in the last vignette and the gremlin on the plane? Yeah, that one. Well, I would sit there in the living room with my hands over my face, peeking between my fingers, trying to be brave enough to watch. All the while this was happening, mind you, my younger sister was beside me, poking fun at me for being such a coward. She was five at the time. Little meanie.
What scary movie scared you so much you were afraid to go to sleep?
It's an oldie, but Videodrome, this older flick with James Woods, scared the living hell out of me. It haunted my nightmares for weeks afterward. Really gross, too, which affects me even more than being scary sometimes.
What scary movie franchise (example: Nightmare on Elm Street) do you get uber excited about when a new one is about to come out?
Hm. Not really sure. I used to get all excited for Friday the 13th movies, because a friend and I had a little thing going where we'd break down cliches, body count, and method of killing, but that hasn't happened in a REALLY long time. So now, I'd have to say...probably none of them. Can't stand "Saw" after the first one. Hostel...same thing. However, there IS a new "THING" coming out...a prequel to John Carpenter's 1981 classic! And I"m SUPER FREAKING PUMPED about that!
How do you feel about modern horror movies?
Really, it's the same that they've always been. Some are good, most aren't. For example, "The Descent" is on my list of top-ten horror films of ALL TIME, and that just came out a few years ago. Also, I really, really want to see Guillermo Del Toro's "Don't Be Afraid of The Dark". So...yeah, horror movies have stayed pretty consistent over the years...at least since the late sixties or so. But really, even the bad ones I love. There's just something about the genre that just draws me in. Maybe it has something to do with the fact I was so frightened by them so long ago and was made fun of for it...
Darkfallen: Shh shh! That's enough! THe movie's starting
And this weeks pick is SO awesome, SO fantastical, that we couldn't pick just one teaser....so you get FOUR!!
"I wiped vomit from my chin and screamed, “Don’t!” I swatted him with the back of my hand and he backed away from me. I leaned back, pointed my eyes to the sky, and released a pain-filled, ear-splitting howl. I screamed for the lost notions of life and goodness, bellowing in anger at a God who I wasn’t sure cared in the first place." page 71

"The air around me grew thick. I wasn’t sure if what I saw was actually happening or a hallucination brought about by the drugs pumping through my veins. A part of me didn’t care, because to my gradually devolving mind the lights looked pretty." page 97

"My body went limp as I stared at the sign. My heart sank and I wished I was dreaming. I opened my mouth to say something to calm myself but only two words came out. “Oh sh**.”" page 105

"It came up with an audible whoosh, clipping the girl’s forearm in the process. Her wrist split open and blood gushed out, drenching Big Guy’s feet. She screeched at the top of her lungs. Big Guy, in turn, lifted the sword above his head like an executioner." page 181
