Rebecca, I loved J.C.'s Vampires, even though they were portrayed as the bad guys, lol. Haven't seen Wolfman yet. Will get to it soon, I hope. Penelope, no wonder your students love you! I wish I would've had a teacher who showed movies that like when I was in high school :).

I am addicted to horror movies, too. I think Aliens is one the greatest feminist movies of all time. The heroine is an ordinary woman who becomes the protector of men, children and cyborgs alike. The villain is a female protecting her offspring. The battle is epic, bloody, and scary as hell. What a great film! I actually showed this movie to my 9th grade biology class as a great example of insect biology...needless to say, my students totally loved me! :) One of my favorite movie scenes of all times is when Ripley gets strapped up with all of her guns and ammo and gets geared up to face the Alien Mama. She is bad-ass personified. Rock on, Ripley! Hi Jeaniene! I am addicted to horror movies, too. I think Aliens is one the greatest feminist movies of all time.

Love that movie. We recently went to see "Wolfman", which reminded me of "Vampires" in its melodrama. Loved it! Great post.

By the way you have excellent taste in horror flicks the paranormal is always better than the serial killer, stalk the babysitter remakes.
