The BEST MOVIES of All Time....

I thought it was called 'The Fog'. About a group of sea zombies armed with flensing knives come to wreak vengeance on a coastal town which had lured them onto the rocks centuries ago.

" The Monkey, absolutely scared me stiff when I read it. Still gives me goosebumps." Was this 'The Monkey's Paw' which granted wishes and someone wished for the return of their dead son horribly mutilated in a car accident.?

The Fog is a different thing altogether. Original film was made by John Carpenter of the Halloween films, a remake of which was made a few years ago. The Mist is a different story, doesn't involve zombies but a creature. Has a kind of HP Lovecraft feel to it.
The Monkey isn't based on the monkey's paw - essentially it's about one of those toy monkeys that when claps its cymbals something nearby dies. Hard to make it sound scary explaining it like that but when I read it I was pretty freaked out.

Could've gone one step further and put on a monkey mask !

Salem's Lot was a very scary book (average movie), definitely the best vampire story since Dracula.

Ip Man, a fantastic martial arts film. One of the best of recent times I reckon.
