MEMO TO THE MODERATORS: I originally created this topic when everything was encompassed in the General Horror Forum. The original is under lockdown in the archives, at it was lost during the transfer to this forum.

MEMO TO ALL SCHMOES: I have yet to locate THE WOMAN IN BLACK or THE HAUNTING OF JULIA on video, therefore they are not included on my list.

When you do get the chance,rent HAUNTING OF JULIA. Slow but creepy with a rather sad ending. And a monkey/clown with cymbals.

I thought the GHOSTHOUSE prop was the scariest...

I pretty much dont care for ghost movies, i thought polterguesit movies were dull, so was the changeling, but i did enjoy all the amityville movies ive seen(well amityville 3-d sucked, and dollhouse wasnt too speical) but the first one was okay, the one with the lamp was cool, and teh clock one was cool too, i still need to see amityville 2 and that mirror one, as you can see i am a person who has to see a whole series of movies, for no reason, just to say "IVE SEE ALL OF THEM" to people who ask, so there you have it, my opinion on ghost movies, some good, some bad, some inbetween.

Damn, back then did I have a post that didn't revolve around this movie?! LOL. Everywhere I look I posted something about Ghosthouse! Oh well, atleast I wasn't dissapointed with the movie!

Amityville 2 was a good ghost/demon story. Hey Antonio, have you checked out THE HAUNTING OF JULIA yet?
