Countdown to terror

If you're home tonight, Bravo is running a marathon of its "100 Scariest Movie Moments" all day. There are five installments, followed by the two-part "Even Scarier Movie Moments." The last full run starts at 5 p.m. CST.

It's like the Cliff's Notes version of the horror classics. But be warned: You will be spoiled mercilessly for anything you haven't seen. Twist endings are given away, complete with scenes from the movies. Oldboy is completely ruined for me. Then again, I'm pretty sure I've now seen more than enough of Last House on the Left. Also, this series does not shy away from the gore. You may find yourself yelling at the screen "You did NOT just show me that!" (This was no way to start my morning.)

Check out the full list here. I use it to make sure I flip the channel before The Ring segment starts.

As a self-proclaimed chicken when it comes to horror and gore, what do you think is one horror flick that cannot be missed?

Even if you enjoy your daily showers, you can't miss out on 'Psycho.' Period.

I'm also a huge fan of 'Night of the Hunter' and 'Misery.' Two performances radically different from anything else in either actor's filmography. Frightening stuff.

Now, Kip, I'm not such a neophyte that I haven't been through the Hitchcock oeuvre. I'm talking HORROR. Watch through your eyes closed, OMG why did I rent this, how many lights can I turn on horror.

In that case, find a store (probably the only one that will carry it is Premiere Video) or Netflix, and get you some Dario Argento, preferrably 'Suspiria.' The acting and dubbing are atrocious, but the set design, music, atmosphere, and of course copious amounts of gore, will give you the heebie-jeebies. It's still frightening even after several viewings. Oh, and if you can make it through the first ten minutes, you'll be fine...maybe.
