⨯⨯⨯ = it was okay
⨯⨯⨯⨯ = I enjoyed it quite a bit
⨯⨯⨯⨯⨯ = one of the best horror films I've ever seen!

✚✚✚✚ = made me squeemish
✚✚✚✚✚ = I had to watch the whole movie from behind my hands (I did this with Hostel - just so you know where my gore tolerance lies)

Just so you know....that icon is terrifying. I'm sitting in class and I made a little noise when I saw it and people looked at me funny :P Anyway, I definitely think - if you put your mind to it - you can totes watch more than 55 this year :D

[telltale.livejournal.com]

HAHA! Everyone gets freaked by this icon. I love it! Sorry I made you make a noise, HAHA!

is this one less freaky? :D

[famouslyso.livejournal.com]

NO STILL CREEPY.

[telltale.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping to get past my 80 last year.

[throwthebones.livejournal.com]

I'm def trying this. I doubt 'll be able to do a lot, what with school and everything. BUT I WILL TRY!

[telltale.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!
Yeah - I'm way more busy than I was last year, but I really want to at least try because it's so fun! :D

[throwthebones.livejournal.com]

Ohh, look at your fancy list with it's legend and everything. I FEEL SO INFERIOR.

I really don't want to bother you, but would you mind checking the code for this entry? It totally butchers my layout on my friends list view. :o(

And 100 horror movies in just one month?! I'm not even sure if I'll have 100 movies at all in one whole year! I'm not really into horror anyway except for classics like "Rosemary's Baby" or the more psychological ones. I like the really creepy ones, but the moment it gets too gory, I'm just bored. Oh, and girls screaming all the time spoils every movie for me.
Good luck then. And don't turn into a nervous wreck, will you? ;o)

[telltale.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if it was just my layout - sorry hon!! It *should* be fixed now - there was an unclosed tag. heh :)

hah - I really doubt I'll do the 100, last year I barely made 50 - but it's fun just to try.
I'm not so much into the blood and guts and gore, but I do enjoy (for some REALLY odd reason that I do not understand) the really cheesy/bad ones. Movies like Scream and stuff, I love coming up with really ridiculous plot twists and guessing who the killer is. haha.
I also enjoy creepy ones too...
but movies with tons of gore are not really enjoyable for me.
