That chill up your spine isn't the weather - it's Halloween. And what better way to get some vicarious, creepy kicks than by renting an all-time favorite horror flick?
Our fearless Locust Walk reporter set out alone to find out what scares you. Jason, Damien, Norman, Cher... Here are a few of your favorite frights of the night.
- Anil Rajendra, College '01
"'The Original Friday the 13th.' It's the only horror movie that's ever given me nightmares." - Sara Thompson, College '02
"'The Shining.' All the blood coming out of the elevators really scared me as a child." - Dan Kirk, College '01
"'Omen.' It made a good horror movie because of all the satanic stuff." - Josh Cohen, College '01 and Elie Kobrin, College '01
"'The Birds.' They're everywhere. If they decided to take over the world they probably wouldn't have a hard time." - Carla Dorsey, Wharton '02
"'Psycho.' It's the only movie that REALLY scared me." - Courtney Meyers, Wharton '02
"'The First Power.' I was really scared because I was in the 5th grade when I saw it." - Patty Walshaw, College '01
"My favorite scary movie is 'The Shining' because of the little kid with the talking finger." - Sadeeka Scott, College '02
"Both 'Screams.' They reminded me of people I knew." - Daniel Fraidstern, College '00
"'Scream.' The girls are hot." - Rachel King, Engineering and Applied Science '99
"I don't watch scary movies because they terrify me and I jump out of my seat and scream and have to hide my face in a pillow." - Peter Trinh, Engineering and Applied Science Ph.D.
"'Carrie.' The last is scene is surprising and it always gets you." - Jim Springstead, Engineering and Applied Science '01
"I guess I'd say 'Psycho.' I think Hitchcock's use of suspense is ingenious." - William Magnum, College '02
"It's a toss-up between 'Child's Play' and 'Demon Knight.' 'Child's Play' is hilarious. 'Demon Knight' has everything from gore to action to scantily clad women." - Melissa Ken, College '02
"The best horror movie is 'Clueless.' It's scary that so many people could actually be like that."
-Margaret Tran
