Ms. Yvon, this explains why I was confused when I saw your avatar had changed.  I like the idea of seasonal avatars.

Guillermo del Toro has a very vivid imagination.

Nice choice!  Pan's Labrynth was amazing.

I heard he is doing a film adaptation of one of my favorite Stephen King books, Bag Of Bones.   Now that has GOT to be a good Stephen King movie there!

This was actually the first image I found when I was looking for a good horror movie shot.  I just wish that character had played a bigger role or at least had some more screen time.

Since we're talking avatars can somebody smarter than me tell me how you can post an avatar that's animated, for example using an AVI file?  (Patrick's drum stick drill team comes to mind). :-[

I don't watch many scary films, so I'm going to go with scary music.  This album scares the living bejesus out of me, and I love it for that.
