30 Movies, 6 Words...

Ahh, yes.  Another list.  And yet another time I copy something outright from my pal, The Mike, over at From Midnight, With Love.  He's always finding cool lists to put his own spin on, and I'm always stealing his ideas.  So I have to give credit where credit is due and thank him for the thought. 

Here's the scoop:  30 movies, 30 categories, 6 words about each film.  The original meme starred movies of all genres, but what the hell fun would that be?  (Actually an enormous amount, and it makes me wish I was up to date with my "regular" blog that I haven't written for in a year...)  Naturally, I picked (as The Mike did) thirty horror movies.  And here's what you get...

(Feel free to rip me off as well - what are friends for?)
