Movies where you see the monster have never really been that scary to me.

Now look at THE UNINVITED (1944); THE HAUNTING (1963); THE INNOCENTS (1961) and THE CHANGELING (1979), none of which used course language, and tell me they're not really frightening movies.
I am not a prude - I find RICHARD PRYOR: LIVE IN CONCERT (1979) as funny as anything I've ever seen - but I grow weary of the "F" word being used so arbitrarily just to make a film seem "realistic" or "contemporary." Even if true, it adds nothing whatever to the atmosphere or effectiveness of a movie. On the contrary, its overuse merely takes me out of the movie, as was the case with BLAIR WITCH.

Maybe I should have seen it in '63 to think that....?

The Thing is probably the single most horrifying, chilling film I've ever seen. It's frankly a grueling film to sit through unless you've seen it a couple dozen times like me. Alien is the best haunted house film ever put on celluloid. Halloween is an exercise in pure and brilliant horror filmmaking as you could probably fit the blood seen in the film in a thimble. The Exorcist is a masterwork. Just astonishing.
