I’m taking my daughter to see “The Shining” today at a local theater. It’s only showing for about a week. I know it’s not a traditional scary movie, it’s a psychological thriller, but when I was a teenager and saw it for the first time, I found it quite scary. It’s creepy, and Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall are great in their roles, and the hotel is so creepy. My daughter has never seen it. I’d seen it when it first came out, in the theater, but since then I’ve seen bits and pieces but on the small screen, at home.

I also liked The Exorcist.

How about you? Do you have any favorite horror movies or scary movies?

Lately I try to avoid horror movies because they’re just too scary.
