Scarlett O'Hara

I want to put out there how much I hated The Shining. It was the longest, most boring horror movie I've ever seen. I'm not into those gorey horror movies either, as they increase my gag reflexes.

As far as my limited taste in horror movies go, I can't get enough of The Candyman. I can imagine many won't agree with me but I think the racial divide of society was appropriately emphasised throughout the movie, an issue still quite apparent in America in the 90's. I liked how the Candyman was still killing because he was trying to not loose his frightening image, and without people's belief in him he would not exist. Although the plot lost focus near the end I think the general story of the Candyman was interesting and funnily enough it still scares me. But I have said his name five times in the mirror and have not been gutted from my groin to my throat.
