A while ago, I had the ComicsOnTheBrain.com URL built through Yahoo. I found that GoDaddy's Blog capabilities are vastly superior to Yahoo's, so I slowly converted the site to this and then redirected all of ComicsOnTheBrain's traffic here. Once I have enough time, am satisfied it will go smoothly and have the extra cash, I'll probably integrate the two sites under the ComicsOnTheBrain banner.

Comics on the Brain: These are a few of my favorite horrors
These are a few of my favorite horrors
Some of my horror favorites (some not so horrific, but intended to be):
The Hitcher (Rutger Hauer does a great job as the villain in this. He's way over the top, but I saw it as youngster and he creeped me out)
Frankenstein (Boris Karloff classic. Colin Clive is great as the maniacal doctor.)
Creature From the Black Lagoon (Aside
from the great 3-D shots and soundtrack. Julia Adams is VERY watchable.
I hope it's remade some day with Jennifer Connelly! )
Night of the Living Dead (To me, the original is the creepiest. "They're coming to get you, Barbara." It's so bleak.)
Return of the Living Dead (On the flipside, the "Return" is a lot of fun. Gruesome special effects, amusing story and a lot "ewwwww" moments)
Miracle Mile (Very obscure movie about the struggle of one guy to get out of the way of a nuclear attack. Anthony Edwards stars.)
Fright
Night I and II (Roddy McDowall shows off his best as a washed-up
horror show host. Lots of good performances. I would have loved more
sequels)
The Lost Boys (A great modern take on vampires)
Near Dark (Vampires with a twist)
The Bad Seed (You wouldn't think a little girl can be creepy, but she is.)
Pet Semetary (Despite people's complaints that this is a watered down version of the Stephen King novel, it's still scary as sh*t.)
Cujo (As "it could happen" tales, this is the most horrifying)
Nightmare on Elm Street (Good, but hurt by it sequels. Though New Nightmare was pretty neat.)
John Carpenter's The Thing (Few movies have as good "jump out of your seat" moments as this.)
