Interim post (Dateline: Stockbridge MA)

I'll get back to reviewing when I return to the city this evening. In the meantime I've just got one thing to say (in the spirit of the "best of Horrorthon" awards discussed earlier):

Scariest Movie to Think About While Trying to Fall Asleep In a Small Cottage in the Woods:

The Strangers

this has taken a tack i wasn't expecting. i was thinking of awards for people, not movies (which is traditionally the purview of the h-thon best-ofs list we do every year).

the sort of crossover idea so far has been "most obscure" which, when you think about it, is still an award for the person who was industrious enough to find it.

I wasn't all that serious. I could have just written, "I was sleeping in a cabin in the Berkshires and thinking about The Strangers really freaked me out."

Dudes! We already have the Best of Horrorthon 2009 to work this stuff out! Impromptu categories are encouraged.

"Best HandsomeStan Review"?

While in the wooded cabin, The Strangers is scarier than The Ring because there's no magic involved; you can't tell yourself that it could "never happen."
