For those of you who like to watch scary movies in the Dark. A few of my favorites.
Directed by Brian DePalma and starring Sissy Spacek supported by her really scary Mother - Piper Laurie. With the Greatest Amercian Hero, William Katt, John Travolta and Nancy Allen (DePalma's eventual wife), and the sweet Amy Irving.
It still gives me the willies - even just hearing tubular bells theme song. I've seen this the fewest times as a result.
My favorite one from Alfred Hitchcock. And still tough to top today for suspense and creepiness - just think Tony Perkins. And who could ever believe Janet Leigh would go in the first reel?
Like Mother, like daughter. Both iconic figures of horror genre - likely not something they aimed for at the time. Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtiss.
Finally, another couple stars cross over into the horror game later in their careers - Gregory Peck and Lee Remick - and both meet their demise. I still jump during grave yard scene with the dogs.
