Just reading that part of Danse Macabre i mentioned yesterday while i was a bit tipsy.
In the segment King sets a quiz where he describes 20 films he finds frightening.
Describing Looking for Mr Goodbar he says...
"Once upon a time there was a sad girl who picked up men in bars, because when the men came home with her she didn't feel so sad. Except one night she picked up a man who was wearing a mask. Underneath the mask he was the boogeyman."
I remembered seeing it on TV when i was young and it stuck with me, Keaton is very good in it and the ending is pretty disturbing. Not released on dvd or anything in the UK, i recorded it off channel 5 when it was shown a few years back.
And just because i'm looking at the page here are the films King recommends.
1. Wait until dark
2. Halloween
3. Psycho
4. Coma
5. Looking for Mr Goodbar
6. Alien
7. The Haunting
8. Midnight Express
9. The Bad Seed
10. Night of the hunter
11. Night watch (1973)
12. Night of the living dead
13. The Birds
14. Dementia 13
15. Whatever happened to Baby Jane
16. I bury the living
17. Macabre (William Castle)
18. X- Man with the x ray eyes
19. The Omen
20. Deliverance
Haven't seen Macabre or Night watch still so may have to look them up.
