OneEyeCharlie said...: I remember when 'Alien' first came out in the theaters. Scared me shitless.; 9:38 AM
AndrewBW said...: @OneEyedCharlie - "Alien" is the scariest movie I've ever seen. By the time it was over I was practically underneath my theater seat. To this day I haven't watched it again.

All of the sequels were terrible - or worse.; 10:07 AM
Gayeld said...: I watched Alien for the first time at the house of friend of my parents. They went out to dinner and I stayed home, in this strange house, in the woods, near Clear Lake, and watched it with all the lights off.

Wasn't the least bit scary. *twitch*; 10:07 AM

Gayeld said...: @Andrew. I suggest you try it again. Preferably in a strange house in the woods, by a lake, alone, at night.

Very relaxing. *whimper*; 10:42 AM
