I like and enjoy this addition to the paper. However, I found this edition a bit too bloody/gruesome for my taste in a supposedly all ages publication.

I would pick Alien from the first list and Rosemary 's baby from the second. Missing from both is The Vanishing. Either the Dutch or American versions.

I will have to think about my own list of the best horror movies.

Keep in mind these are people who are " Acting " that is how they made a living.

As in Lights Camera Action ____ Cut ____ 1 or 2 Break ___

Day after Day ....

Eventually the cutting.

Hollywood.

[Taltarzac725]

I actually liked Aliens more than Alien.


Some of the old horror movies from before 1960 would be on my Top Twenty Horror movie list.

Many of these actors do a lot of good works for their communities. I have interacted with many of them online. As with in every group of people there are some of them who have profound problems of some kind. One or more of the Seven Deadly Sins come to mind.

Both of those Vanishing movies really bothered me quite a bit.

In reality very, very few actually make it to Hollywood. Tiny (Very) Percentage, Evidence of that is very obvious.

Examples. Not in any particular order.

Television Adds, YouTube Movies, Hallmark Channel, on & on. Thousands of them. M/F/of all ages.

The relatively few (some) that make it to " Hollywood " end up becoming so called " Experts " on various subjects you name it they have an answer.

Obviously, there are exceptions (Few) that are sensible without getting into specific names.
This also goes for the Music industry. Hey it's life.

That said this is mainly in the USA (Hollywood) elsewhere in the world, UK, Europe, the profession is more realistic to real life.

For me it's entertainment, for many though they think these individuals are __________________ fill in the blank. I have no idea what they think.

Some of the Hollywood elite deserve to be listened to for their wisdom and life experiences. Others not so much. It is usually very easy to tell which ones are not worth following.
