Top 5 Horror Films ma Eg s."TheOmen" ■ It’s not quite as scary some 32 years after its release* but omr mmnA ‘fonfiimnn Drv/ilr nm/] nr imn/\n<rAnii/\nnl 5. "The Omen" H ,| It’s not quite as scary some 32 years after its release* but any movie Gregory Peck and an unconventional use of a church spire remains a favorite. ’ 4. "28 Days Later" It’s one of the better horror movies in recent memory, thanks to eerie shots of an abandoned London overrun with murderous citizens infected with a virus called “Rage.” 3. "Shaun of the Dead" Not so much scary as it is funny, this film about an every day schmuck caught in the midst of a zombie epidemic has become a cult classic and a Halloween tradition. A key scene involves the beating of a zombie, synchronized with Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now.” 2. "The Shining" It’s held up well over time, thanks to a classic turn by Jack Nicholson as a homicidal writer with a clairvoyant son. Stanley Kubrick makes the viewer feel the same claustro phobia and horror that drives Nicholson’s character crazy. 1. "Halloween" When psychopath Michael Myers escapes from a mental institution, he sets out for his hometown and a group of easily-dispatched baby sitters, accompanied by a big knife and creepy theme music. Forget the mess of sequels, the original earned two severed thumbs up. ■ online I blogs.dailytarheel.com ASTRONAUTALIS: A review of the new CD in advance of tomorrow's show at Local 506 CONCERT PHOTOS Vicarious experiences of last week's shows with reviews, too.
