I forgot about that.....largely due to the rather poorly done, unsubtle, overkill Hollywood treatment of that idea in the "Chucky" series.<br /><br />Andre,<br />Children! Yes! They can be very creepy. Even the use of children voices singing nursery rhymes can be used to powerful effect in horror movies. Good suggestion.Lone Grey Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16892067644551128013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-55076861610837256852009-06-15T22:55:19.994+08:002009-06-15T22:55:19.994+08:00Children.

And it's late here ... and dark.

An uncle of mine painted the portrait of a clown's face for my mother as a gift one year. And he did it so well that whenever you walked past it the eyes seemed to follow you.<br /><br />My mother hung it in the hallway and at night the effect was terrifying. My brother and I begged her to take it down and it still lies in a box, in our garage. We don't like clown portraits.<br /><br />But I'm with you Mr. LGS. I like a good, well-told horror stories. I have enjoyed them since I was young. My father would tell us true stories, of the supernatural kind, that happened to he and his father in Guatemala. I'll have to post some of them sometime.<br />And I think for me, a veteran, the more subtle the better. Then save the in-your-face scares for the end. :)Sincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135778203560012397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-6445601596004605382009-06-04T12:27:34.784+08:002009-06-04T12:27:34.784+08:00I'll tell you what horror concept works for me...I'll tell you what horror concept works for me: reading this post alone, at almost midnight, while everyone else in the house sleeps.<br /><br />EEEEEEEKKKK.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227519811818290510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35697944.post-12771301420541883582009-06-04T07:07:52.294+08:002009-06-04T07:07:52.294+08:00I used to like to climb into a tree in summer in t...I used to like to climb into a tree in summer in the middle of the day (a loooong time until dark) to read stories from the August Derleth anthology "Sleep no More"( with illustrations).
