{Old Sci-Fi/Horror Films}

With all the special effects and technology available today, we quickly forget what a "real" sci-fi/horror film is really all about. It should strike fear in your mind! I just watched the 1962 movie, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" today and was reminded that the scariest thing of all is a crazy person left unchecked! YIKES! Bette Davis did a wonderful job in her role as a former child star caring for her more famous sister (Joan Crawford) who is wheelchair bound. Bette Davis scared the CRAP outta me! When you think about someone who seems normal on the outside (or can at least semi-fool people!) that is caring for someone who is dependent on them...it makes you wonder if that person they are caring for is REALLY okay. Blanche (Joan Crawford) was so scared of her, but was kept upstairs (great for someone in a wheelchair!) and had no contact with the outside world without Jane (Bette Davis) knowing about it and controlling it. SCARY. That messed with my mind a bit...super yikes! Happy Day After Halloween...that was a GREAT horror film!
