Can I recommend a couple of scary movies? (Big Jim’s movies that freak him the F out)
The movie “Magic” (1978) with Anthony Hopkins freaked me out as a kid. I’d see the movie trailer and turn on every light in the apartment. And to make it worse, my parents had bought me a ventriloquist dummy (which I quickly put in the closet and talked to every night…telling it to go ahead and kill me)
“Motel Hell” (1980) – I know this movie was supposed to be a horror/comedy. But for some reason, it REALLY got me…Farmer Vincent Fritters. They captured people to make them into sausage. One reason I was so bothered by this: I had no idea what went into sausage at the time of seeing the movie, so this seemed strangely plausible.
