O.K, like I just told Robin, who contacted me off list, there is the ONE film
that made me decide that I wanted to be a film librarian, that I saw when I was
16. My girlfriend Val's super cool art school teacher mom Sylvia (we're fb
friends; Val and I aren't, lol!!) took us to the University of Buffalo (UB),
which alway had strong student union film and other programming, to see
Polanski's "Repulsion." Now if that's not a lurid, scare-your-socks-off film, I
don't know what is. Again, it's psychologically terrifying, not gory. I
remember that day like it was today. It changed my life. Became a psych
student, then a film librarian. Thanks so much, you fugly perv. You were/are
brilliant.

Subject: [Videolib] Friday fun question, early...
Hi All,
Here’s a Friday fun question (but with a bit of a head start): what are your
favorite scary movies?
Cheers,
Matt
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
