That’s what’s so delicious about horror movies. For a couple of hours, viewers can forget about the very real terrors of war, disease, natural disasters and political division. On the screen, there might be zombies, vampires, aliens or sadistic murderers, but once the lights go up, they all disappear back into the projector. If only our real fears could be banished so easily.
Some familiar spooky faces are returning. Annabelle, the creepy doll, is back in « Annabelle 2. » Samara, of die-in-seven-days videotape fame, is still crawling out of TVs, this time flat-screens, in « Rings. » And Stephen King’s horror classic « It, » which reminded us all how much we hate clowns and sewers and especially clowns in sewers, is getting a new look.
