Re: The Last Ivyist on Earth a.k.a. The Hepsters Walk at Midnight
The most affecting moment in any horror film I've ever seen is when Scatman Crothers gets axed in the stomach in The Shining ... it's up there with Clean getting killed in Apocalypse Now, I always have to look away .....
... the Monster throwing the little girl Maria into the pond in Frankenstein is shattering .....
.... Matthew Bennell/Donald Sutherland's scream at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is inevitable but hard to swallow ....
... I felt very bad indeed for Seth Brundle in Cronenberg's The Fly ....
... The original The Vanishing (1988) was excruciating ....
... who doesn't shed a tear for King Kong?
... The Thing, Carpenter's version, leaves one desolated .....
... The Exorcist: "Why you do this to me, Dimmy?"
... Baylock/Whitelaw jumping on Gregory Peck/Ambassador Thorn's back in The Omen .... The Omen is one of the greatest horror movies for me ....
... Michael Rooker in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, that's some scary stuff .....
... so many more, maybe I will think of some other truly affecting moments later ....
... want to reiterate how highly I rate Let Me In with Chloe Grace Moretz, Richard Jenkins, and the little kid who plays the character "Owen" .... this is a first-rate example of how to make a low-budget horror movie .... very dark and well-acted ... was impressed by it ....

It is - in my admittedly obnoxious but heartfelt opinion- superior to the remake by far. You will see how closely and respectfully the "re-makers" stayed to the original. I use it to teach directing it is so nicely done.

Now do you understand my screen name...? I have a sense that on the weekend after Halloween we will watch something suspenseful, if not outright horror...I was thinking about Claude Chabrol's La Ceremonie...

Worried Man:
If you have Netlix this is actually a good list of what they offer: check out The Mario Bava films and Rosemary's Baby - they also have all the Universal Monsters.
http://www.vulture.com/2013/10/horror-movies-on-netflix-streaming-good-bad-weird.html
Those Mario Bava films were a total pain to track down 10 years ago. Everything seems so easy nowadays.
If you don't have Netflix you can do a free month trial - is worth it.

Just catching up on this thread. Great stuff from all the usual suspects.
Stanshall knows the inside of my head better than I do sometimes!
Since I was a kid being read Frankenstein in bed by my Mum I have always been deeply affected by the image (in my head and on screen) of the Monster throwing the girl into the water.
Also Henry with Michael Rooker is a really terrifying film filled with absolute dread from start to finish. It's really hard to watch. Wonderful casting and locations.
I remember watching Duel on late night tv when I was about 16. I didn't even know it was a Spielberg film.
My favourite horror film is probably The Thing. Kurt Russell is very good in it. Only bettered on screen by the special effects and his own beard.

Funny thing about Duel is that it was Spielberg- but originally intended for TV....it was so accomplished they gave it a theatrical release.

Just revisited Rosemary's Baby last night actually. Cassavette's wardrobe is very hit and miss. From Ivy to a denim from head to to ensemble. Mrs WM also liked Farrow's style.

Re: The Last Ivyist on Earth a.k.a. The Hepsters Walk at Midnight
You're all overlooking the most ivy of all fright flicks... Richard Johnson draped in shapeless three-piece tweed and corduroy 3/2 sack suits with shaggy dog shetlands and oxford button-downs + college boy Russ Tamblyn in sack blazer and repp tie, high tapered chinos, polo knits, cardigans, etc. for a double-dose of 1963 pure New England ivy style in... The Haunting!
