Get her "The Ring", or the original and more scary japanesse version "Ringus"

Some C-4 in a playdough container is loads of fun...unless, of course, you like the young lady... :D

The ring has the only scene in any horror movie that i can't bare to watch. That is when the girl lurches towards the tv screen and comes through it. Just horrifying.

The whole reason they made II was because part I sucked. It was a remake not a sequal. Even Stephan King calls it the greatest horror flick ever made. Anyway i guess it depends on which one you saw first. I didn't see part I until after i'd seen II a couple dozen times.

saw part one first, when I was 10, scared the CRAP out of me, the fact that it was such a low budget. To bad the director never made anything of himself....:D

Neither did poor Bruce Campbell. He has continued working successfully in hollywood but his status as a cult icon really irritates him. His website for years was inundated with Evil Dead groupies and none of them gave a shat about his other roles. :D

I'm guessing you're referring to Xena. Yes. Well...you and Ted Turner. :D

Without knowing the lass' age and extent of her collection thus far, it's kinda hard to give many suggestions.
I used to enjoy horror movies quite a bit, then got out of the genre. Now, I'm a little more interested. I cannot wait for Saw to hit either PPV or DVD. I wanna see that one quite badly.
One of my favorite older ones would be the original Halloween. Scared me pretty good. Or if it's a less graphic style you're after, maybe Pet Sematary. I always liked the book, and the movie wasn't bad as far as Stephen King movies go. They usually suck compared to the novels.
She's 17. I got her the last Halloween - but I never saw it myself. I'd like to get her another movie. Heathen... hmm.. never even heard of that one!

17's old enough for the gory stuff, if that's what she likes. The re-release of Texas Chainsaw is decent for a remake...

Dead Alive is a movie that all horror movie buffs should know of. It's not really scary, but it's pretty funny. I love it. It's a foreign film (New Zealand) so it might be hard to find. It was voted the most gruesome horror movie to come out of New Zealand at the time.
I also like the Ring and the Japanesse original. Maybe she would like some old classic horror films like Pumpkin Head or Child's Play.
Child's Play... is that the one with the doll?
hellraiser has a boxset....i think. that would be outstanding.

I thought Gigli was a comedy...:confused:
How about getting her some of the old gothic-horror type films. Bela Lugosi as Dracula, perhaps Boris Karloff as Frankenstein. :shrug: Can't go wrong with the classics.

Yep, that's psychologically terrifying (the original), or maybe the original version of the Grudge? Something quite terrifying about watching a bunch of hysterical asians...
How 'bout classic horror? Like Nosferatu?

Here's another idea...some of the anime cartoons are particularly ghoulish. Try finding a couple of those for her...I'm sure freako and/or ash can point you in the right direction... :lloyd:

Be radical this christmas... don't give any! Give the money you would have spent to charity and give a speech on the importance of family relationships and how they should not depend on the depth of ur pocket instead. :alienhuh:
Guess what I'm giving for christmas...

Child's Play... is that the one with the doll?
Yup. It's an oldie.
I also thought of those dolls. They have dolls of Freddy and Jason and a bunch of the other nig horror movie guys. I dunno where to find them. I see the action figures everywhere, but they have plush collectable dolls that when press them they sing the theme song from their movies.

Next time I'm on I-10 at the Arizona/New Mexico border, I'll have to make a stop at The Thing (http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/AZCOCthing.html).
I've seen 'the thing' and I'm not telling!
