I saw _The ABCs of Death_ not too long ago (and I liked it), then I came across a mention of it on a horror message board with the idea for a game. So, since the 31st is right around the corner, I figured I’d see if anyone else wanted to play. The premise is simple… after the post before yours, take the next letter of the alphabet to name a matching horror movie. Then everyone just keep going until we peter out. Obviously, I’ll start with the lowest hanging fruit. 😃 Amityville Horror Now, who has a B to scare us? ---

Blood on the Highway. Sure, it was a Driver’s Ed movie, but it sure scared me, and lots of people were running out of the auditorium. ---

Now, I get to pick the all time best, my favoritest horror movie ever! The Exorcist ---
