myPicks: Favorite Scary Movie
It’s “Jurassic Park.”
Look out! A zombie skeleton dinosaur! Oh wait, it's just the logo.
Yeah, I’m just gonna come right out and say it. Jurassic Park is my favorite scary movie. There. It’s always been one of my favorite movies, period, and I think it’s pretty darn scary. That’s that.
…
Oh, you want details. I guess I have to explain things. Fair enough.
Alright, yes, I realize “Jurassic Park” is not a “horror” movie. I realize it does not contain any serial killers with elaborate death traps nor nightmarish supernatural monsters that can attack you in your dreams. I get that.
But I’m not looking for the scariest scary movie. I’m looking for my favorite. And from the first time I saw it, I’ve always loved “Jurassic Park” because of how well it builds terror and suspense (that, and because it had dinosaurs). It may not be a horror movie, but damn it if you don’t find yourself on the edge of your seat watching it.
Yes, I almost wet myself the first time I saw this. Why do you ask?
I’m not going to go into an elaborate rant about why I’m right. But I am going to show you a movie clip. I’ll admit, it wasn’t my first choice (I tried to find that scene where they’re crawling through the air ducts, but no luck), but it does show off my favorite scariest part of “Jurassic Park”: the raptors. Screw the T-rex and that scene where he attacks the car, these guys were the scariest part of this movie.
A Two-and-a-Half Men marathon isn't the only thing that'll give you nightmares.
The giant claws on their feet, the way they moved, the intelligence in their eyes. And ESPECIALLY that high-pitched bloodcurdling scream they made. I don’t even want to keep talking about it. Just watch this movie clip and enjoy…
