Scary Movies

Thematically in keeping with today's festivities, here are the RCVman Top Five ALL-TIME scary movies. Much like making a chase scene work (fast cuts) horror as a genera has things you expect, namely the unexpected. We like to be scared, and today is the day.

5) Psycho.

4) Alien.

3) The Thing (Carpenter).

2) The Shinning.

1) The Exorcist.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

All work and no play make Jack a dull boy.

But decided against it at the last moment.

Lastly, in a non-scary story, please be advised of Saturday's first annual DAWG-DUCK DASH, a five kilometer run around Battle Point Park to celebrate the year's clash of Northwest college football titans and to protest ridiculous race entry fees (it was suggested after class this morning that we call it Occupy Battle Point.
