The Top Ten Scariest Movies of ALL Time...according to me
9. Invasion of the Body Snatchers
This movie freezes me up every single time I see it. (Oh...I am referring to the original B&W version, althought the later version with Donald Sutherland is pretty good too.) I like metaphor and this piece seems to speak of giving up or giving over one's mind to Socialism during the Cold War with Russia. How insidious would it be to simply fall asleep and wake up NEW, or different? Because while a person is sleeping is when they are at their most vulnerable. Really anything could happen. You could wake up speaking Russian, finding Stoli and water your favorite drink, wearing two left shoes! Oh-oh.

260 Haitians risked life and limb to escape extreme poverty and take a wish on America. They crossed a vast ocean to get to our shores. And we are going to make them return.
Can I make a trade for 260 Rio Grande crossers who aren't escaping anything?
Blame it on NAFTA when the corporations moved many factories just over the border to get cheap labor/higher profits. Guess we don't want to establish any factories in Port-au-prince.

10. Rosemary's Baby
Mia Farrow is bizarre in real life. Pair her with John Caseveetes and you have a frightening movie. This one is in black & white which adds to the drama. If you fall in love with what you think is a normal, handsome man, move to New York, and are befriended by all of these skeletal old people...RUN! It's not natural. Being the little sexual devient that I am, I do love the BEAST love screen. Plus this movie works like birth control. I don't ever want to pull the blanket down in a bassinet and see what horror I might have hatched.
