I'm a lightweight when it comes to horror. I just saw "The Others" (Nicole Kidman, as a mother of two children allergic to sunlight in a big house in the country) and was legitimately scared just about the whole movie.
Below are my lesser-known horror movie picks for the jackrabbits, scaredy cats and cowardly lions like me.
Repulsion, Roman Polanski, 1965
The Innocents, Jack Clayton, 1961
And just for fun.... the re-cut trailer for the classic "horror" film "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory".
Jackrabbit Sidecar
1 1/2 oz Applejack
3/4 oz Grand Marnier
3/4 oz Lemon
1/2 oz Allspice Syrup
1 oz Apple Cider
Combine all ingredients in a shaker and garnish with aromatic or orange bitters.
Make the Allspice Syrup: use one cup water, one cup sugar and a handful of crushed allspice berries. Bring to a simmer for 5-10 minutes. Let cool and strain.
Scaredy Cat, Looney Tunes, 1948
I have a friend in Sylvester the Cat: "a yellow dog of a cowardy cat"
Happy Halloween!
