saw 6 is great though, or was it 7?

Arch you may have noticed the smiley after the 'young' comment :biggrin:

I'm sure tt is the baby of the tea thread, probably just out of her teens, us oldies have to be more careful when it comes to scoffing goodies :hungry:

I like the more "old-fashioned" horror films like "The Fly", "Arachnidphobia" etc. Or espionage films like "Narrow Margin", but gratuitous violence is not necessary. "On the Beach" (based on the Neville Shute novel) could be classed as very frightening I suppose.

I started watching the Hammer horror films when I was in my early teens, hasn't done me any harm :whistle:

Also all the old Dracula/Frankenstein/Zombie films of the 70's and 80's

The new stuff is all CGI and over the top violence most of the time, Saw was quite original in a way, wasn't 'that' gratuitous it's only the sequels that have gotten ridiculous.

I prefer the original B&W version of The Fly to the Jeff Goldblum version, except losing the cat in the teleporter. Maybe Potsy should try it. :biggrin:

The anticipation of horror, as in the Hammer Horrors is much better then the close ups of blood and gore.

I suppose these

are easier then these

Probably..though not that young you cheeky git!

Still, less cycling and more eating, especially of the sweet type has meant that I'm carrying a little more weight then I was a year ago. Thankfully, cycling more but would like to kickstart the metabolism back into what it was. I am terrible though, I have tendencies to feed people - food of all sorts!

However, in my defence, I have taken up static trapeze and am quite happy admiring the new sets of muscles developing across my shoulders and arms! So it isn't all gorging!

As for Horror films...they do nothing for me- find them boring and predictable, not the peril fests people find them to be.

Night Train, I think I have seen both versions of "The Fly", and enjoyed them both.

Was there a similar film where someone gradually shrank to the size of a fly and then got lost in the garden? :unsure:

When I was very young, and watching "The Borrowers", it was horrific when the teapot (that they lived in) got washed away in the flood. :cry:

No, not Honey I shrunk the kids. Any way if you were small enough to live in a teapot, and it got flooded and the lid was stuck and you were too big to climb out of the spout, I think you would be frighted. :tongue:

I am sure you would enjoy Arachniphobia, Potsy. You would also have enjoyed meeting the spider in my bathroom this week. He was at least three inches across, possibly four!!!!!! The body alone was half an inch in diameter.


Do you want to meet him? I kept him in a shoe box, just in case you did not believe me.
