Great hit.<br /><br />Ghost: Also agree. Romance is fantastic, and "Unchained Melody" really brought it home. I really miss Patrick Swayze.<br /><br />Casper: No. <br /><br />Sixth Sense: Yes. M. Night was brilliant in this one. It really floored me as original and provocative.<br /><br />The Others: Also good. I agree that I was not predicting the ending. In a way, it's from the same bloc as M.Night<br /><br />The Ring: Holy cow! This one scared me to death. Fantastic that every element of the black and white video was important.<br /><br />Poltergeist: Totally agree. Spielberg's tale was riveting. It still is. I hope they don't screw up the remake.<br /><br />Stir of Echoes: Never saw it<br /><br />What Lies Beneath: Meh? Harrison Ford as the evil one? I suppose it was okay but many better ghost stories.<br /><br />Paranormal Activity: Scared the bejebus out of me.<br /><br />Okay, things I would have rather seen in this list of yours:<br /><br />1) Blair Witch Project. Way better in execution than Paranormal Activity.<br /><br />2) The Changeling (George C. Scott). This ghost story is classic and terrifying. If you haven't seen it, please rent it and let me know what you think.<br /><br />3) Paranorman. This ghost story released in 2012 was just awesome. Great animation and story by Neil Gaiman.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5258788979142293877.post-51484458522705501052012-12-17T13:54:29.733-05:002012-12-17T13:54:29.733-05:00I love that Ghost Busters and Casper made the list...I love that Ghost Busters and Casper made the list. Two of my favorites as well. I might also add :-) I'd also add 'A Christmas Carol' to my list ... my favorite version is the original 1950s one, but most of them have been well done.
