Garb- still in trunk from last year, said trunk covered in dust
Leather- not oiled
Weapons- neither cleaned nor oiled, still in closet gathering dust

This might work better than "knocking the cobwebs off" of your fiancée.  (ladies have "ée", and gentlemen have "é" at the end of the word)

Thank you! I meant for the grammar thing not for the tickler...Jen get's downright violent when I tickle her..and suicide by tickle isn't in my list of things to do..I have juggled that spelling back and forth, one e two e...like A bad segment of the Count on Sesame Street..now I know.

Uhhh... you mean... The Fog?  I kind of thought I gave it away to begin with... y'know, with the tagline and all. 

I was actually thinking of the 1980 version, though, with Adrienne Barbeau, Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Leigh...  (snerk)  Funny how all those cheesy horror movies from the 70's-early 80's would kill off any man who got near the "scary things", but the women would usually only get their tops ripped mostly off...  ::)  Particularly if it was Adrienne Barbeau...  LOLOL

The Mist...is what I was thinking of before..it's a fog before anything gets said about titles now..And it's been a while since I've seen the original Fog...never saw the remake...probably never going to.

The Mist, great Stephen King book...movie screws up the meaning of the book with the end of their movie.

Original Fog, freakin money. I love late 70s early 80s John Carpenter. The remake is ok, not the worst remake they've done.
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Rani Zemirah

I never watched the remake, either.  Once was enough, even if it was cheesy as hell...  ::) 

My creep factor is the fact that they CAN'T BE SEEN!!!  :o

The literary ending of The Mist works in the book, but wouldn't really convey well in the medium of cinema...the joy of a book is to let your mind wander and make it's own path and prospects for the character, but that only works on an individual level..Sadly, the majority of movies don't/can't/won't do that as the masses want closer over a perioud of 2 hours....it's a matter of voluntary time invested, as in a book, and having to sit down for that time to watch something you can't dog ear and come back to later., but the movie ending of The Mist worked fine I believe...I know I don't necessarily want a Pollyanna ending when I go see a King film.

*says nothing about the fact that she knew what "4311" meant without stopping to think first*

I dont do too well with scary movies, Im a little *too* reactive.  Im like:

Me: "SCREEEE!"
Friend: "What?  He just stepped outside to get into the car, nothing's happened yet"
Me: "Well, I know something is going to happen!"
Friend: *rolls her eyes*
Me: "SCREEE!" *covers her face and peeks through the space inbetween her fingers*

I dont know WHAT Im thinking, going to Faire on Halloween weekend, I have a feeling Im going to be doing a lot of scurrying away from scary things *laughs*

HEY! I corner the market on scurrying around here thank you....Look to the left of this comment if you would....there you go. I do the same thing...I know that takes away my man card *phfttt, it was written in crayon anyway* but man do I love getting scared. That is why I watch scary movies before going to bed...or camping...or going into that last house on the left on Elm Street during Friday the 13th with a couple of scream queens.

Actually, it's really fun, and I didn't even see anything scary, at all... well, except maybe the guy in the powder pink tutu with Fairy wings and a beard... but he wasn't holding an axe or anything.  

I don't like scary much, either, btw...  ::)  I do, however, like to yell at the stupid, half naked chick that runs UP the stairs to try to get away from the killer... and is it terribly wrong of me to cheer when she finally dies?  :P  :D
