Children of the corn

The name has given me the shivers!

I don't like horror movies at all.

Personally, anything that generates fear, unless it is a healthy fear of punishment for wrongs committed, is frankly something I see no need for.

Now...enjoying suspense is something else entirely. But enjoying genuinely being afraid? I think there is something mentally wrong with that. It's like emotional masochism.

Nothing better than a Stephen King movie such as The Shining, Christine, Carrie, The Langoliers and many others movies that keep you on the edge of your seat.

Dracula has to be the all time classic... I'm biased!

I remember watching the old horror shows on Creature Features  and Chiller Theater  . They seemed better watching them back then. The Fly, THEM, and The Invasion Of The Body Snatchers were all great. Young Frankenstein should be watched with a few doses of adult beverages to really get you laughing.

Diary of a Mad Black Woman - there's not a single white person in the movie (my cousin dared me to watch it).

You make Movies, don't you?

Its an unrealistic fear combined with suspense. I don't think it can be classified as fear that should be felt during a punishment.

It's like a train wreck, you hate too look, but you just can't help yourself.

Night of the Living Dead....I have a thing for zombie movies

   Same here. I love zombie movies. After watching the two Dawn of the Deads which I really loved, I watched night of the living dead. The problem with the original night of the living dead is that it was a movie about how racist white people are. George Romero also had a white racist police officer shooting up "innocent" beasts in a housing project in the first Dawn of the Dead.

I like the old classic black and white horror movie classics.  Like the old monster movies and the zombie classic night of the living dead.

[genteelgentile]

I live close to the places that George Romero's movies were made, especially Dawn of the Dead.

I love horror movies. By far my favorite is The Exorsist. It still scares me as much as it did when I was a kid.

The Exorcist still freaks me out too. I saw it when I was about 10 years old. There is a part when Regan (the devil) speaks to the young priest in Greek mimicking his mother. I remember thinking back then "Oh no, the devil is Greek!" It traumatized me for quite a while.

Don't worry, the devil can't be greek. Hell is too hot for a fruit shop.

Is that what most Greeks own in Australia? Where I grew up (NYC) it was diners. And yes, my family owned a diner at one time.

Yeah...traditionally Greeks in Australia had the fruiterers, delis and milk bars (take away shops).

Now days, young greeks want nothing to do with their parent's businesses and have good jobs in the professions like the rest of us.

Yeah, the same thing is happening in the US. The parents or grandparents ran some sort of food shop and now the kids are becoming lawyers, doctors, stockbrokers or computer specialists. Except me that is, I'm just a lowly staffer at a school district.

I'd love to visit Australia some day. I actually have relatives there that I've never met. In Melbourne I believe. Isn't that where most of the Greek population is?

The Sacred Band of Thebes (ancient Greek: Ιερός Λόχος τών Θηβών) was a troop of picked soldiers, numbering 150 homosexual couples, which formed the elite force of the Theban army in the 4th century BC.[1] An example of common practice in the ancient world, it was organized by the Theban commander Gorgidas in 378 BC, played a crucial role in the Battle of Leuctra, and was completely annihilated in the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC.

Biggest Greek city besides Athens is Melbourne.

 In the fifties, greeks and italians were called 'wogs' and dagoes, but now.........they're as Aussie as all of us anglos. Nobody thinks of a Con or Mario as a foreigner. When the anti-muslim butt kicking happened in Sydney, the greek and italian kids were all shoulder to shoulder with the anglo/celtic aussies.

The greeks and ities did very well here because they came, saw how great it was, loved it and worked their bums off to build a good life with big houses and good education for their kids.

The stinkung arabs have a 65+% unemployment rate and they HATE the country and us. You can see the difference in attitude.

Its nice to hear that they are becoming a productive part of Australian society. They definitely do not (or should not) have any love for the muslims.

Yeah, not something for me to really be proud of except maybe that at least they were good fighters and not just hairdressers and interior decorators.
