What I want to see is a Puntabulous guide to women in red dresses, I remember once upon a time thinking it was a Matrix thing, but now they appear to be everywhere

Thanks so much to everyone for their kind and funny comments. To answer quick ones; I agree that Feast, Slither and Gremlins were all great. I forgot Snakes on a Plane too, another of my faves.

I’d have to do another whole post on vampire or ghost or dragon movies. Glitter ,Showgirls and anything out of the president’s mouth is just too horrifying for me though.

I had an epiphony one day when I reached down to squish a spider, suddenly I felt like the big scarry monter, so now I take them outside. But that still won’t get me to watch Arachnophobia a second time (shudder!).

Mom is the genius family geek member who remembered the original Star Trek episode Wink of an Eye and that is the one I meant. Voyager must have been inspired by it. Could swear there was a TNG too..

Thanks again everyone and thanks most of all to my brilliant, wildly talented cousin Craig for asking me. It’s an honor to be on such a witty site. I’d love to do another one sometime.

Completely agree with #8 on Aliens. That immortal line when she says “Get away from her you BITCH!” is priceless.

Someone beat me to the “Glitter” joke

Scariest Monster That Wasn’t A Monster: The Fog in the ORIGINAL movie. Not that sad remake.

Scariest Monster That Haunted My Nightmare As A Child: The doll from Trilogy of Terror.

I don’t so much get into monster movies, but I love your coverage! I am also enjoying the comments about those real life monsters that people are posting!

You forgot about Elizabeth Berkley in Showgirls. Now that’s a monster movie.

Thanks a lot Michelle, with this post I finally decided to watch Jaws ; I’d never seen it, can you believe that ? Well, I must agree with your review, despite the lack of modern special effects, it did scare the shit out of me till the end !

Jaws scared me so much when I was little. True, I’m only 18 so I must have been 10 and younger when I saw it and this stuff would’ve scared any 10 year old.

And Jurrasic Park, to this day, is still one of my favorite movies.

And hello, Craig’s cousin!
