The clown doll in the movie Poltergeist scared the pants off me when I was a child.
Though it's not a horror film, I remember David Warner's performance as Jack the Ripper in Time After Time scared me more than any other villain in a horror movie that I saw when I was young. |

| Dexter? Sure he's a serial killer but I can relate to how he tries to fit in to the 'normal' world. I actually watched the first three seasons of Dexter the month before I found out that I was an Aspie, and I remember completely identifying with Dexter Morgan's "disconnect" from social interactions... |

| Anyone in the mood for gritty, low-budget zombie/vampire post-apocalypse film, put the movie Stake Land on your Netflix queue. I saw this movie at the Sunset Laemmle theater in Los Angeles a few months ago (it was playing for one week only) and couldn't believe that this wasn't getting a major-wide ... |

| MTV was pretty much dead to me when Beavis and Butthead was discontinued, but I did stick around for a little bit when the Tom Green show was on. His humor is definitely very juvenile and lowbrow, but I always him hysterically funny. My favorite of course is this classic bit here: [youtube]http://ww... |

| I saw it yesterday and it's really good. It's definitely one of my favorites this year. I have also read the book that it's based on called I Was Saddam's Son . Some of the facts around the story have been changed for dramatic purposes (particularly the ending) but it still succeeds as both a really... |

| One movie that I'm really looking forward to is The Devil's Double , which comes out near the end of July. It is based on the true story of a man who was forced to be the body double of Saddam Hussein's psychopathic son Uday. Here is the trailer: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhlQOg9abRk[/... |

His evil scheme for world domination is actually the most plausible out of all of the villains in the series: To provoke a war between two countries that will... |

I read World War Z last year and it was one of my favorites. 
My favorite book this year was Hitch-22 by Christopher Hitchens. |

Normally when a companion was in danger, the Doctor would arrive in time to save him/her. T... |

| Dungeons and Dragons and the 1970s Star Trek cartoon are my favorite animated series. I like it better than the original 1960s Star Trek show by the way. I watched the entirety of Dungeons and Dragons on Netflix about a year ago (I hadn't seen it since I was a kid back in the 80s) and I was thrille... |

| As I've gotten older, I have come like the movie It's a Wonderful Life less and less, but that might be a topic for another thread. I have never seen the Mel Brooks Star Wars parody Space Balls , and people are always amazed when I say that I haven't seen it. The reason I haven't is because I feel l... |
