Witching & Bitching - this one's out there. I thought it was a good horror/comedy, though.
I have to list this one:
Bad Milo! - an emotionally touching body horror comedy about a monster living in a guy's intestines. Yes, really, and no it's not as gross as you're thinking. Not quite. Seriously, this movie is better than you'll expect.

I remember seeing Ghost Story one night around 3 A.M. (insomnia). Yeah, it creeped me out. It's a Classic."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S.

I only vaguely recall seeing something - this sounds like it but I could easily be mistaken.
If it's not too scary, I might watch it, though....
Does anyone remember a movie about a girl with a doll house. Somehow, her potato dolls (sliced potatoes and toothpicks) acted like voodoo dolls. I remember the last scene with the house on fire and her grandfather getting her to take all the dolls out of the doll house so the real people wouldn't be trapped in the real house.

So, I think I'll get some old Fred and Ginger movies instead..."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Here is a modern underrated remake that I enjoyed: Piranha 3D. It's just a great summer fun movie that I think doesn't get enough credit."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Originally posted by JesseOh don't let that put you off. You might not find it as creepy as I did. It's a good suspenseful movie. It was late for me so..."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Originally posted by TeallauraI'm thinking your horror quotient is higher than mine. I had nightmares over a really, really STUPID 'mock-documentary' thing Discovery did with giant centipedes killing people. It looked fake to me then but..."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

He and some friends were getting together to watch a movie, but they didn't know what. They'd decided that they wanted a scary movie, but couldn't decide on anything. Then one of them said that they'd remembered watching this really scary movie when they were a kid, so they should rent that. None of them had ever heard of it, so they all went along with it.
The movie? Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.
