Look no further for scary movie recommendations.

Courtney Summers has you covered.

I second what she said about The Changeling:

Not, as I said in the comments, only because my father-in-law* looks a whole lot like George C. Scott.  But also because it's an awesome movie.

*Speaking of, this happened at work yesterday:

My mother-in-law enters and browses the new fiction.

Then she comes up to the front desk.

ME:  Well, hello, my Darling Mother-in-Law Dear**.

DM-i-LD:  I have a bone to pick with you.

ME:  (Quickly thinking back for recent transgressions and coming back empty -- I mean, the Klondike Bar Incident was YEARS AGO!)  Oookay...

DM-i-LD:  I'd like to know how long you and my husband have been conspiring to Get Rid Of Me!

With that, she hands me a political mailing addressed to me and my father-in-law.  Like, together.  Apparently as a couple.

And then, after our hysterical laughter finally died down, she wandered off.

**Actually, I used her name, but, you know.  She IS my Darling Mother-in-Law Dear because I lurrrve her.

Okay, see, THINGS LIKE THIS would be why I didn't change my name. It's bad enough I get my sister's and her husband's mail. The post office is deeply confused about our whole family.

Just to add to the confusion?

I haven't changed my name. So there's really no earthly reason that they should've made the mistake, which makes it all the more bizarre and hilarious.

Hee! Re: mother-in-law story.

& Thanks for the link-up!! I totally want to put the subject of this blog entry + the first line on business cards now. It warms my heart when people love The Changeling. Everyone should know about it! The playback scene after the seance gets me every single time.
