Psycho is very much of it's time but I remember my mother...who saw it at the time of it's release telling me that the real shock was that the star was knifed in the shower and didn't make it to the end of the film. Hitchcock was as much a master of the unexepected as anything. If you want Hitchcock at his best for creepy horror, check out a little known film called 'The Tenant'.....one of his first forays in to the use of sound effects in film and inspired loosely by the legend of Jack the Ripper. Continuing on the theme of British horror/ thriller, surely 'Peeping Tom' deserves a mention. Scary no, but gruesome in content yes. The macabreness and ordinariness of the serial killer is something that film grapples with well. And yes I agree that Halloween has stood the test of time well and still stands up as a genre breaking piece of horror cinema. I think the same can be said of 'Nosferatu' too.

LOL you won't be buying a ticket for he tour then?

ooh yeah 'The Fog' isn't bad. Esp the opening scene where the eye is gouged...... Quite liked 'The Descent' too although it wasn't scary enough.

I just looked...Amazon does have the full length mini TV series to buy on DVD......result....ordering a copy now....yay!

Yeah I seem to remember that's all I could find when I looked a few years ago for it.

oooh.....it's the 1979 one I'm after.....truly terrified me.....found it hard to watch during the day let alone at night lol......

Is it on DVD?...I tried for years to find a copy.

I love horror movies. 'The Haunting' directed by Robert Wise is one of my favs, along with 'The Shining' of course. I remembered watching 'Salem's Lot' (with David Soul of all people in it) when I was a teen and being terrifed by the vampire child at the window. And who can forget the final scene of 'The Pit and the Pendulum' with the terrified eyes behind the bars as the room is ordered to be sealed up forever...... 'Theatre of blood' is also a fav of mine just for it's ham acting and camp style. And 'Texas Chainsaw Masacre' has to be one of the best gorefest movies.....low the first 'SAW' too.

Top ten things to do on the forum: 1. My ladies footy group drinks nights out 2. My ladies footy on Sundays 3. Troll 4. Dulwich Hamlet home games 5. Poker ar Bar Boho 6. EDF Drinks (although never been to one but seems popular) 7. Goose is Out (ditto never having been to one but can't argue with 'sold out') 8. Pull the Other one at the Ivy House. 9. Sell stuff 10. Post :)-D

LOL I don't take it personally...I've said all along that the final four will get record deals and sell records.....and I wouldn't be suprised if Cher truns out to be the real money spinner for Simon Cowell. And of course I wish them all luck......

Yeah he won but selling millions of records is another matter......Leon Jackson comes to mind, Steve Brookstein even and oh Shane ward looks destined for the X factor winners graveyard too lol.

That's true but Rebecca's version of the winners song was a million times better than Matt. That's the version I'd buy....not the bland and boring version of Matt's. Matt needed the win more than Rebecca does.

I can see why admin locekd the thread as there is already a thread for X Factor.

He might have won but he sang nothing in tune either tonight or last night....so many notes of key....limited range as I've said all along. I predict OD will sell more records.

This is an interesting discussion. I have a lot of sympathy with the view that a shopping centre is no place for live penguins but would one say the same of horses for example? Horses, like dogs are considered suitable working animals. The Police think nothing of taking horses into crowds (and train them for such). Deer are indeed working animals in some of their native lands too....where is the line drawn?

I was 13 and was sitting at home in Liverpool watching the news. That evening the Liverpool Echo was filled with just that story and I still have my copy of it (although it's yellowed a bit over the years).

I think they are making more money than they ever did when part of ABBA tbh. And the albums still sell millions every year. Without doubt, ABBA are one of the biggest selling groups of all time.

LOL...welcome to the forum Tony (which is also my brother's name :-S!)

The guitar riffs are just awesome TaTa....a good one to listen to when winding down............

Wilkommen Bienvenue Welcome....... Simonet....!

'Eagle' is just mesmeric I think Moos... I love 'Summer Night City' too......Gimme Gimme Gimme is a floorfiller for sure...... In fact I think I'll turn off Newsnight and listen to an ABBA CD instead.......hmmmmm......think it might have to be 'The Album'.......Eagle here we come.....

That's not ABBA lol.....

'The Winner Takes It All' is mine. Also love 'Eagle' and 'The Visitors'.....

How good was Alexandra? Pure class..... The sound techie for the Glee spot should be shot......!

It's true...as a freelancer I can offset part of my domestic utiliy bills against tax, even though most of the work I do is not done at home. That is a very good WOD.
