It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

I still loved the old Invaders even though you could see the zippers in the back of their "skin"
Th cinematography, sets & atmosphere were great. Another great one is "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

Invasion of the BS, original...classic......but it never scared me like Invasion did

Posted: 3/7/07 at 7:50pmThe crying Indian commercial. I can't really explain why; maybe it's the "OMG WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!" feeling it creates. Or the music. Whatever it was, I would go into hysterics whenever it came on. It still unnerves me a little...

The TV commercials with the Jolly Green Giant. I'd run out of the room covering my ears because I didn't want to hear the "ho ho ho" in that deep creepy voice.
I was also terrified by the Wicked Witch of the West.
What can I say? I was afraid of green people.

The big green Oz head growling "I am Oz, the great and terrible".
Loved the rest of the movie, but used to hide in the cushions when that part came on......

Posted: 3/7/07 at 9:10pmOh my God, I totally forgot about The Wicked witch of the West. I used to run up the staircase when she came on.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

Posted: 3/7/07 at 10:11pm"Are You Afraid of the Dark?" OMG. That was some scary sh*t. I remember watching TV and the second the creaking swings came on and that creepy music and stuff I would switch the channel in terror. Haha.
"It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can't just sit there and put everybody's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things."

my parents being late coming home or picking me up from somewhere
Oz: the tornado, the witch's feet shrivelling up under the house, Dorothy's screaming during the flying monkeys scene
close lightning strikes
tornado warnings issued after dark because 1)you can't see the tornados coming then and 2)our warning system was old WWII air raid sirens

Posted: 3/7/07 at 10:29pmthe first time I saw Labrinyth, when I was 5 or 6. Don't ask me why, but it gave me nightmares. Then I saw it recently and was like: "why the hell was I afraid of that?"
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Anyone remember the Bette Davis film WATCHER IN THE WOODS? That was the one movie to this day to ever give me nightmares.
I haven't seen it in over 20 years and have absolutely no desire to go back and revisit it, even though I'm pretty sure it's nowhere near as terrifying as I remember it being.
