Would any of you out there consider Prophecy a horror movie? I know it kept me awake at night as a wee nipper.
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

oh, and personally I would like a section for all of those bad, baaad sword & sorcery movies that came out in the 70's and 80's. I'm addicted to that stuff; the more cheese the better.

How about horror? And there are a LOT of comic-book movies these days, with more in the works. Maybe they could get a seperate topic?

Kid, thank you for remembering The Kingdom! I loved that series immensely. It was definitely eccentric, but it had some genuine chills in it as well. I heard they were supposed to be doing a version (much watered down) for American television at one point.
Watcher in the Woods WAS creepy. I remember seeing it when I was a nipper of eight or so. Seriously spooky stuff. I don't remember Lady in White, though. Who was in that one?

Actually the Japanese version is supposed to be really edgy and scary. I wonder if there's any chance of it being released in the United States.

Okay, since it is so close to halloween, let's hear about some of the scariest films out there. What was the one film that made you feel like jumping out of your skin? Which film genuinely creeped you out the most and made you sleep with the hall light on? For me, it was an old movie called Suspiria. It was about an American girl who becomes accepted to this dance school in Germany which turns out to be... well, go see it. Not very gory by today's standards, but very very creepy.

I've stayed away from most horror films ever since last year's Jeepers Creepers which was so bad that I actually cringed while watching it. I really wish they would start coming up with some good horror again.

Rowan Atkinson was a strong contender up until he agreed to be in Scooby Doo.

There are no black dots; the government just wants us to THINK that there are black dots.

Role-Playing Games / Re: real world vs fantastic worlds

I think the reason CoC is so appealing is because we can imagine it happening right in our own back yards. Sauron can't come and threaten your shopping mall, but Great Cthulhu is certainly able to send his unspeakable minions scuttling up onto Miami Beach. Where typical fantasy might as well take place on a planet a thousand light years away and a zillion years ago, CoC is much more up close and personal.
Oh, and there are some pretty cool non-traditional fantasy worlds out there. I still love Talislanta (now in it's fourth edition, a huge hardbound book), which reads like tha bastard child of George Lucas and Lord Dunsenay. Dying Earth is another incredible game with a background that makes it a true role-player's dream and a very original rules system. Oathbound is another newer game that is little known, but a lot of fun and worth taking a look at. And I don't care what anybody else says: Star Wars isn't sci-fi; it is epic sword and sorcery fantasy that just happens to be set in space. Try playing it with a more fantastical twist and you might have something more than you ever thought possible. Hope this helps.
