Well, It's That Time of The Year. BOO!!!! OT
Molly Fanton
So it's that time of the year to start talking about what are some of
the most scariest movies you've ever seen? I'm going to open this up to
any movie from any decade. Here are some of my scariest movies I've
ever seen.
Friday the 13th
Nightmare on Elm Street
Rosemary's Baby (it doesn't have gore, but it still scary)
The Excorsist
The Omen
Holloween
Dracula
The Birds (I'm still bugged when there are seagulls are flying around
me)
Dixon Hayes
"Halloween". Outside I can think of one before ("Psycho") and one after ("The
Blair Witch Project").

Being a big fan of horror movies I've seen hundreds and hundreds of horror
films.Most of them are laughable to a degree,especially the "B" movies like
The Evil Dead and I Spit On your Grave.
However there are a few horror films which did "scare" me a little bit:
Nosferatu.....which was released back in the late 20's,is a grainy black and
white silent film with erie scenes and a really ghastly looking vampire.
The Amityville Horror.....I don't know why this movie gives me the creeps
because it's **not** that scary but for reasons I can't explain,it just
creeps me out.
The Granddaddy of all horror movies the Exorcist.....just typing the name
gives me the willys.I've seen this movie twice.The first time I saw it I was
in the Army and we watched it on a bright sunny day with about 100 other
soldiers in the room and it scared the S**T outta me.I had heard about the
film and I knew the plot and thought it seemed kinda corny but after
actually seeing it.............WHEW!!
About 5 years ago a friend of mine who had never seen it asked my wife and I
over to his place to "watch videos",one of which was The Exorcist,needless
to say I sat there with my hands over my eyes for the duration.Everyone was
laughing at the film,LAUGHING!!.....can you believe it?!
-Doug......who will **NOT** be going to see the re-release.
Naz Reyes
I'll have to pick the "Exorcist" also. I vote that film as the most
scary film of all time. It's especially scary for me because it was
filmed on location in GEORGETOWN - I see those STEPS every single
freakin' day when going to work!
I must say that I still can't take that line seriously, though, when
Linda Blair (as a demon) says: "Your momma s*cks c*cks in hell"! LOL!

One of the kids was on crutches, right? I've seen that one a few times on

Neither Larry nor I have seen Rosemary's Baby or The Exorcist. I guess

a good movie. But I HATE Stephen King. He just drones on and on. He feels
each book had to be 1000 pages or he hasn't written anything of substance.
He takes so damn long to tell a story. Some good ideas but the trip to get
to the end of the story is just SOOOOO long. I think that he has become
infatuated with his image as a wordsmith, and that his ego is just taking
over. To put it in Brooklynese "He thinks who he is...." Anybodt else who
doesn't "get It" about Mr. King?

Don't waste your time watching Blair Witch,it's about as scary as a Saturday
morning cartoon.......The Exorcist on the other hand is a damn scary
movie,be prepared to have nightmares.

I think he was brilliant up until Pet Sematery, where he lost his ability to
breathe new life into old horror. I think he can still write decent stuff,
but his best work these days isn't in the horror genre.

You have some odd friends, Doug, were they smokin' some wacky weed
at least?! I have the video and have only watched it once, it just freaks me
out too much! I'd like to see the new version, though, just to see it on the big
screen with or without new scenes. Alas, my only movie going buddy has
no interest so it looks like video again.
Another goodie from the era is one I always mention, "Triliogy of Terror"
with Karen Black and that scary doll at the end. The rest of the movie's
forgetable but that doll, whoa, still scary stuff, kids.
Cheers,

Ooo, that reminds me, one of my all-time faves regardless of the era
is "Dead of Night" with Michael Redgrave's story as a real standout.
He played Maxwell Frere, a ventriloquist, whose dummy comes to
life. Now, I know we've all seen this plotline time and time again but,
trust me, *this* one does it right! The main character, Mervyn Johns,
keeps having a recurring nightmare and has to hang around this creepy
old farmhouse listening to the guests' tell their own tales of weirdness.
It's always showing up on the late, late show, catch it.

Misery was not at all bad, but I put that in more of a "suspense" category.
I think of his supernatural/weird work like Salem's Lot or The Dark Half as
"horror". I could just be dickering over terms, though...

Sorry, Naz, Larry said no. :( But I'll let you know how the paperback
is. Yeah, it'll probably be scarier than the movie, depending on the
reader's imagination, and hmmmm, what kind of imagination do you think

Now see, I didn't think The Exorsist was scary. I mean it WAS scary, but didn't
scare me. I watched it in a theater about 1982 or so, and maybe that was the
problem. Everybody was laughing and goofing on it, so maybe it lost something

I remember hearing all that hype too, especially the one where some people saw
it and went insane. In fact I had a dream then, that I saw a glimps of the
movie by accident and started going hysterical because that meant I was going
to go insane! I guess after worrying about it for 12 or so years takes the
edge off when you finally do see it!

I cracked up at one part of that movie. In the beginning shots, when
they are walking around interviewing people, they ask a teenage girl if
she knows about the Blair Witch. She says <*ahem* putting on my
Baltimore accent, hon.> "No, but my sister went to B'lair High School."
LOL! The reason I laugh is because I graduated from Bel Air High School
(also located in Maryland)! Aside from that, I was disappointed in the
movie.
If you grow up in Maryland, you are raised on ghost stories of the
locals (and there are many!). Hey, at least they could have brought up
the legend of Black Aggie...Oh no, I said her name! Good thing I'm not

I'm with ya, Buddy, and I'm a diehard Blue Jays fan so three guesses how
I feel about those Damn Yankees?! ;-) I would love to be in that particular
historic stadium this week (but I'll be keeping my various body parts, thank
you very much), it's been a lifelong dream to visit Yankee Stadium anyway.
This week would be magical, though, you'll be able to soak up all the
excitement without going to the game itself, for sure.
As for the suits loosening up, I've seen a few games at the Dome from
inside the corporate "boxes", for lack of a better term, when my Mum was
working (and I used to work at the same place years ago so I was always
her invited guest). None of the big mucky-mucks got stinkin' drunk, alas,
but it was weird to be sitting next to the CEO and high-fiving each other
when the Jays got a run or whatever. It did make them almost human for
a couple of hours.
Such a shame those boxes are out of reach to me now, heck of a way to
watch a game. These places have about 5 bleacher rows under a cover
in the front and the good stuff behind them. Room for about 20 people (a
couple of tables and a bar to prop yourself at), a *free* bar, fully stocked,
cold buffet with veggies and cold cuts, hot horsesdoovers like sausage rolls,
your own washroom and even a big-screen TV if you want to watch the
action inside. Marvelous, just marvelous.
I know, I know, to really get into the game you have to sit with the regular
Joes and Josephines but I've seen the Jays play at Exhibition Stadium
many times (back bleachers, my bum was numb by the end of the game
from that hard wood and we had a blanket over our knees to keep the
frigid winds off Lake Ontario at bay), from inside the Hard Rock Cafe in
the Dome during the World Series (which was, frankly, THE most amazing
sports memory I have) and during the regular season (get a spot at the
Hard Rock window with a TV screen nearby and you are set for anything,
amazing seats and a great deal) and from practically every angle in the
Dome itself (back against the wall at the tippy-top, all over the Club level
and the field level and even behind home plate once), I earned the right
to sit back in that corporate box knocking back screwdrivers on someone
else's dime! :-)
Oh geesh, another novel, did I mention my kid's away?

You are on, Buddy! I don't get out of town much anymore but when I do,
check your doorstep, I'll be the only one there wearing a Jays cap ;-)
I'd be thrilled to take in a game with you, hun, anytime.
I've done the Skydome behind-the-scenes tour with out-of-town friends,
that's a must-see if *you* ever come to town. One of my best buds, Kevin
from England, came twice at the wrong time of year for a game so we did
the tour the first time and had lunch at the Hard Rock inside the Dome.
The third time he visited we finally timed it right for him to see his first real
live ballgame (37 years old and he'd never seen a game), I was excited
for him ... the Jays ended up losing 13-1! :-P He thought it was hysterical
and even bought me an engraved beer mug to commemorate the occasion.
Great seats, though, we were very close to a couple of flyballs and caught
a glimpse of ourselves on the Jumbotron as the camera swept past our area.
All in all, quite the fun day even if we did lose!
Cheers,
TD

Weeelllllll...okay! This is tale that it seems everyone I went to
school with seemed to know. My *mom* even new this legend! There are
different variations to the tale. Everywhere that I lived in Maryland
(we hoped around a bit) the story would change a little.
Anyway, here goes. Once upon a time in Bawlamor (Baltimore for those
who aren't familiar with the pronunciation), there lived a girl named
Agatha. She was a quiet girl who didn't bother anyone, but was picked
on by the neighborhood kids (At this point I must make mention of the
fact that she was also African-American. Hence, "Black Aggie.
Remember,
this is an old legend, before political correctness, of course!). They
would taunt her by calling her Black Aggie and they would run after her.
If they caught her, they would hit her and pull on her pigtails until
she cried. Well, one day, she was playing in her yard and the bullies
showed up. They started taunting and pulling on her pigtails. She
managed to get away and ran into her house. She so upset and crying so
much that she accidentally hits the hall mirror (it seems everyone had a
hall mirror!) and the mirror breaks and Agatha gets terribly hurt. She
lived, but was horribly disfigured from the accident and in some
versions she became catatonic. Legend has it that when she hit the
mirror, a part of her soul went into the mirror forever (mirrorland??).
Now, here's the spooky part, supposedly you could summon her spirit
through a mirror. Just go into a dark room and say "Black Aggie" over
and over (5 times, I think it was). She is supposed to show up in the
mirror, if she does and you don't turn the lights on quick, she
scratches your face! <Insert maniacal laugh here> Now, I know what
your thinking "Does it work?". Well, a friend dared me to do this. My
response was (after telling him he was insane!!) was the old "I will if
you will" (this always seemed to get me in trouble somehow...anyway).
We went into the bathroom, turned off the lights and started to chant
"Black Aggie, Black Aggie, Black Aggie...after the 3rd time, we started
to see something.
Now maybe it was a mind trick, maybe there was a glimmer of light coming
in (don't think so), maybe it *was* Black Aggie coming to get us. We'll
never know, though, since Ronnie freaked out, turned the light on and
ran screaming from my bathroom!! LOL! I never thought a 10 year old
boy could scream like that! But I have to admit this, I'm 31 and I
*still* can't get myself to try it again! It's just too creepy.
Maryland has so many of these creepy legends. There's the mysterious
visitor to Edgar Allen Poe's grave who, every year on Halloween, leaves
a rose and bottle of whiskey (the news people LOVE this story and have
hyped it for years!) at his grave (located down the street from his
house on Greene Street in Baltimore City).
There's also the two stories I heard at Girl Scout camp. You see, there
was a mansion that was donated to the Girl Scouts. It was used for
weekend getaways (they always were in October, a very creepy time of
year to be in the middle of nowhere!). Anyway, there is one bathroom on
the top floor where there was a hanging light bulb. Well, for some
reason, this bulb always swayed ever so slightly back and forth. The
story was that the mansion was cursed. (here I have to back track a
bit) In the front yard, off to the side of the mansion was a huge
chimney (the house had been destroyed many years before), this was where
the servants house was. This was during pre-Civil War time, for the
record. Anyway, one of the servant girls became pregnant (from the
Masters son, as the tale has it). She couldn't tell anyone about this,
so she hid her pregnancy. Time goes on, and she has the baby. She
keeps the baby a secret until one day, the Master and the Mistress show
up. They are there because they say they have heard a child and demand
to have it since they are certain that the child is their grandchild.
Well, the girl had hid the child up the chimney before they came
in(Before anyone asks, I have NO idea how she did this. It's a story
for crying out loud!). She says there is no baby. They get angry and
have her taken away so that they can search the house. They decide
(after she is gone) that it is too cold and that they should build a
fire. Well, the obvious happens and the child dies. The servant girl
then places a curse on the family to last for generations for the loss
of her child. If you go to the chimney and stick your head up the flue,
it's said that you can hear a child crying (I've done this and it's
sounds like the wind whistling, but it's still creepy). So, back to the
swinging bulb. Years later, a young girl gets engaged to a Union
officer who she has fallen head over heals in love with. One day, he
gets called to battle. Months later, the young girl receives word that
the young officer was killed in battle. She is so distraught that she
hangs herself (in the room that is now a bathroom). Days later the
officer returns (he didn't die after all, it was someone else) and hears
of her death. He, too, is so distraught, that he takes his life in the
same way and in the same room as his fiancée. There is also rumor that
a husband killed his wife in a fit of rage (strangled her) in the same
room years later (I believe it was in the 1920's).
Well, I could tell you a million of these stories, but I hate to bore
people (I know, too late!!). I think some of the best ghost stories
come out of the original 13 colonies! One year, I am going to go to New
England in the Fall. I hear the stories are great there! :-)

What a great show. My fave member was Joe Flaherty (who recently played the
father on "Freaks & Geeks"). My favorite sketch was The 3-D House of
Pancakes. John Candy was so hilarious. Wasn't there also The 3-D House of
Stewardesses? I wish Comedy Central or Nick @ Nite would play it.

This got me thinking (but the wheels in the brain need a little WD-40!),
what are some of the SCTV phrases that you still hear from time to time
(i.e. "oooo...veddy scary.)? Aside from Count Floyd, the ones we use a
lot are "Would you like some more...PANCAKES?!?" (This can have many
variations like "Would you like to use...MY PEN?!?" of course, you would
have to move the item back and forth as you are saying this.), "Take
off!", and the ever popular "They blowed up REAL good!". I'm still on
the hunt for a SCTV collection (maybe Columbia House will do this?).
Does anyone know of a box set, maybe?

What gets to me is seeing Lloyd Robertson (sp?) do the eveing news on

When I first saw the bit with Joe and Andrea as Slim and Babs in "Indira"
(Indira Gandhi ala "Evita"), I almost choked to death from laughing so hard.
Watch Andrea Martin's face when she sings "I kept my promise" and try not to
