"I want the fear to hit me at the core only after it's gotten inside my head, in that more subtle way." - it's so true for sickos like us. We'd rather let the horror scar us for life, rather than a mere, cheap shock. <br /><br />Another great post, Kellee!Citizen Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596338896095275116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535698675045986569.post-23794998768464511022012-11-02T11:58:24.171-07:002012-11-02T11:58:24.171-07:00I also prefer the classic horror, not the blood an...I also prefer the classic horror, not the blood and massacre. What I found more powerful in Lewton's films is his power of suggestion, we get scared by shadows and things we don't really seen on the screen.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :)<br />Kisses!

With the proper setting and setup, what we think is happening is far scarier than what we could ever see on the screen. I think the scene in "The Seventh Victim" where the detective walks down a dark corridor while Kim Hunter's character watches him disappear in the darkness, sums up the Lewton "horror" style. What's happening the dark places where you can't see anything?

Thanks for taking part and and or a great post, linking Lewton to those that followed.
