Hollywood Screams, Titles
This is not listed in any particular order. These are titles at random of movies and TV movies and TV shows which have content suitable for screaming.
The Shining
Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall Scatman Crothers. Great camera work and excellent script. Very tense at times with building creepiness.
Diabolique
A really well done scary movie that seems to be from Hitchcock. Great work by a wonderful cast of actors and actresses who seem to be for real. It all takes place at a boy's school. Black and white with a feel of danger.
Willard
An excellent movie that builds nicely. Nice little furry creatures that multiply. Rats. This is one of those suburban neighborhood, normal population, suddenly thrust into scream territory.
King Kong
The original version was by far the best. The follow up remakes were helmed by directors who thought Kong was about special effects, and they loused up the story and the characters.
The Night Stalker
Darren McGavin manages to find a few laughs along the way, but this is a great vampire film. Great scenes of early 1970s Las Vegas and a fine cast add to the enjoyment. Made for TV, but great.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
One of the best movie bad guys, Freddy, and Johnny Depp in the original version of this franchise. John Gavin is good as the serious policeman.
Carrie
Prom night jitters and Sissy gets red in the face. Great cast and directing.
