Movie Dearest readers went a little mad for their pick for the creepiest movie quote, "We all go a little mad sometimes" from Psycho. I almost went a little mad myself earlier this week when a Blogger glitch erased half the votes, but thankfully, the problem was fixed and the votes eventually reappeared.Out of 83 votes total, the skin-crawling words spoken by Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates netted 16, for 19% of the vote. Tied for second (with 14 votes/16%) were the chill-inducing quotes uttered by Dr. Lecter and little Cole Sear, with the line about Rosemary's Baby's familiar resemblance placing fourth (10/12%). Coming in with a tie for the fifth spot are the little girls of Poltergeist and Aliens, with 7 votes (8%) each. Note that half of the top six quotes were spoken by children, so I guess that's why we get so many creepy kids in horror movies. See the comments section below for the complete rundown.
For a change of pace from all the spookiness this month, this week's new MD Poll question is a simple one: "What November movie are you most looking forward to seeing?" Can't wait to be Enchanted? Will you be there for I'm Not There? Looking for Love in the Time of Cholera, or just want to see a movie Before the Devil Knows You're Dead? Eager for a visit from Fred Claus? Want to see Russell and Denzel, together again, in American Gangster? How about Nicole as Margot at the Wedding or Redford, Streep and Cruise in Lions for Lambs? Do you want to "bee" first in line for Bee Movie? And don't forget No Country for Old Men or The Mist, not to mention getting a gander at the computer-enhanced genitals of Beowulf.
This poll will run for two weeks, so head over to the sidebar at right to place your vote.
