Sally's first role in a high profile film came in the remake of The Sting (1973), playing the role of 'Crystal'. Throughout the 1970s, Sally remained very busy in a variety of roles in movies such as the made for television The Kansas City Massacre (1975), Breakheart Pass (1975) and Private Benjamin (1980). Her work in the 1980s was mainly seen in the form of B class exploitation movies including the low budget slasher movie Fatal Games (1984), Paint It Black (1989) and High Stakes (1989) opposite Kathy Bates. In the 1990s, Sally ap- peared in many films. She spent more time on television in TV movies or guest appearances, and appeared in many feature films as well. The Haunted (1991) is worth mentioning for featuring Sally in a central role based on actual events. From 2000 onwards, Sally's roles in film changed noticeably. She became involved in many independent movies on the film festival circuit. Notable films include the short movie Audit (2001), The Rose Technique (2002), Mango Kiss (2004) and Coffee Date (2005).

The Q of THE WEEK returns on Monday November 5 Chilli Copenhagen Denmark www.myspace.com/chilliworld CHILLI SAYS: This one was a bit difficult to answer since I have been watching alot of movies that have scared me into the bone... but I LOVE it. LOL I get a real kick out of it when a movie scares me!! But, when I was a child it was definitely The Exorcist. It was definately a mistake that I saw it at that time (I should have been older), so when I got a little older it was Stephen King's The Shining. Jack Nicholson freaked me out big time. Now a days I must say the SAW movies. Wow what a great scary kick. I'm really looking forward for the 4th! Those movies are absolutley too freaky, but great! Cara Florida www.myspace.com/iamthetrueog CARA SAYS: Sorry! umm, "scary", can I change that to "gross/scary"? That would have to be The Hills Have Eyes. I cried...it was just so disturbing! I was freaked out! Kara Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/5195989 KARA SAYS: Hey Jonathan! When I was a little kid, Little Shop of Horrors scared the crap out of me! The part where Rick Moranis chops up the body to feed to the plant really stuck with me - what can I say, I was a sheltered kid. :P Tess New Jersey www.myspace.com/sweetsunshine909 TESS SAYS: BOO!

Describe it.        *Please spell the title correctly Debby Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/phoenixlivingdeadgirl DEBBY SAYS: Night Of The Living Dead was the absolute scariest movie I've ever seen. I saw it at my friend's house when we were both 11. We lived out in the woods in the Pacific Northwest and she had these big bay windows in her home that reflected the television while we watched it. We were both totally freaked out all night long after we turned off the television and I've been a zombie lover ever since. There was just something about the makeup and the black and white film combined with the slow movement of the actors. Everything was done so right; the makeup, the script, the setting, the background music, the fact that it started out in a cemetery, it was the perfect horror movie. Of all the horror movies I've seen, this one was one of the very few that made an impression on me. It still scares me today and that is near impossible for a movie to do. Britini Alabama www.myspace.com/shortlilqtb BRITINI SAYS: The Ring. Well, I think it was the cinematography in the small video clip that would generate the call back and then of course the girl in it. I had nightmares for months Michael Scottsdale Arizona www.myspace.com/gladikis MICHAEL SAYS: 1408 is definitly the most frightening movie ever. Your brain implodes into itself in a hotel room in which you have no escape except to end your own life. Locked in room 1408, in which 56 people have already killed them- selves in, your mind turns psychotic, schizophrenic, paranoid, and you are hallucinating your worst nightmare of your dead daughter. 60-minutes is an eternity to spend in the seemingly neverending hell of room 1408. In fact, no person has ever survived that long. One guy slit his own throat and then tried to sew it back together with a sewing need only to die of blood loss. Do you kill yourself to make the nightmare end? I would if I were stuck in that living hell. Monica Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/monicaadams MONICA SAYS: The most frightening movie of all time would be The Exorcist. That movie has kept me up many a nights, which is why I don't watch it that often! When I was a small child, there were rumors that a similiar incident was happening to a friends sister in our church. Whether or not it was true, that movie really gives me the creeps! Curtis Wales United Kingdom www.myspace.com/curtisianandthejoydivision CURTIS SAYS: I would plump for On the Beach, the adaptation of Neville Shutes novel about the end of the world following an atomic war. Austrailia is the last country to be affected, and in both the film and book you are offered a good number of characters to identify with, and so confront the way you would choose to meet your own end. Jonathan: Yes, the end of the world is scary! October 29       Winona Ryder Winona was born Winona Horowitz, in 1971 and named after her the town in which she was born, Winona Minnesota. She grew up in a ranch commune in Northern California where there was no electricity.

When telephoned to ask how she'd like to have her name appear on the credits, she suggested Ryder as her father's Mitch Ryder album was playing the back- ground. Ryder was selected for the part of Mary Corleone in The Godfather: Part III (1990), but had to drop out of the role after catching the flu from the strain of doing the films Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael (1990) and Mermaids (1990) back to back. She said she didn't want to let every- one down by doing a substandard performance. Later made The Age of Innocence (1993) which was directed by Martin Scorsese, who she believes to be "the best director in the world". Her real hair color is blonde but when she made her first major film, Lucas (1986), her hair color was dyed black. She was told to keep it that color and it has stayed that color since.

I remember a couple when I was a kid, like that Chucky movie with the talking doll puppet thingy (freaky). I never really liked collectable dolls and their eyes, and the eyes on this dummy were sooo scary. I don't really watch scary type movies. I'm still scared of the dark. When the lights go out I back up to the wall NO MATTER where I am! If it starts to thunder I get candles lit and flashlights Ready! Spooooky!! Yita Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/dontbewisebubbleeyes YITA SAYS: I'm a horror movie fanatic, and you know this, but hands down the scariest movie I've ever seen was Nacho Libre. I never want to see Jack Black in spandex again. lol Just kiddin. For me, religious horror does it for me. The Amityville Horror, The Exorcist 1 and 3. The Omen, oh my god the Omen!!! But, Dawn of the Dead the original Romero film. That gave me sleepless nights for weeks. I fear the undead the most, which fascinates me more than anything. "Whats the worst way to die?" "To be eaten alive." ~ Night of the Living Dead (the 80's remake) Maddds California www.myspace.com/madkalbb MADDDS SAYS: Final Destination!!!! (Original) Love that movie!! Dustin Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/thebandvendetta DUSTIN SAYS: The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. That movie was the most frightening to me for a couple reasons, one being that Leatherface is this unstoppable killing machine who wears the face of his previous victims while preying on the next. If he doesn't hack you up with a friggin CHAINSAW, he tortures and mutilates you until you wish he had. The second reason, and why I thought the original was more frightening than the re-makes, is that the movie had something about it that made it seem very real to me. I was scared because there were moments when I actually felt like I was there. Renee Syracuse New York www.myspace.com/renee7lynn RENEE SAYS: Hands down, for me, Carrie. The first one. I kept trying to catch it on cable when I was 10 or so, but my mom always caught me. Finally, when I was 12, it was on cable, and I watched the whole thing. I was so scared, I ended up making my brother (7) wait outside in the carport with me, because if we stayed in the house, Carrie was going to get us. Mom was not amused.

Hope nobody is inside me. ;) For children generally. Each fairytale is cruel! Marie Atlanta Georgia www.myspace.com/sulwyn63 MARIE SAYS: The Exorcist was so scary. I was only 14 when it came out and remember trying to watch it at some friends house, but had to leave the room. I can still hear that horrible voice saying Your Mother Sucks **** in Hell!!!!  lol Keren Stroud United Kingdom www.myspace.com/kezisyours KEREN SAYS: Ok, where do we start?! As a teenager I watched a Nightmare On Elm Street, and that scared me to death. The thought of someone coming for you whilst you slept! Hadn't watched a horror film from then til last year!!!!!! Then watched ....Wrong Turn, The Grudge, The Ring, Saw2, The Hills Have Eyes, and another one the other night whose names escapes me. Have to say Wrong Turn scared me the most, with The Grudge a close second. I think the reason the Wrong Turn scared me is the fact it seemed so realistic to me, apart from the weird looking hillbillies, but also the fact people were being cut up and eaten...ewww, my heart was pounding all the way through the film. The Grudge scared me mainly due to the horrible noise the ghost thing made through the film. But all that said, I love Vampire films, but don't consider them horrors! Perhaps I'm just a big girls blouse. lol Nyrhee Mesa Arizona www.myspace.com/nyrhee_az NYRHEE SAYS: The Andromeda Strain, and The Poseidon Adventure. As a child I was scared by things that could be real. Not giant dinosaurs or spiders. Charmaine Essex East United Kingdom www.myspace.com/condemnedpunkrocker CHARMAINE SAYS: I bought 28 Weeks Later the other day. I already own 28 Days Later. When I first watched it, it kinda stuck in my head for a few hours the possibility of somethin' like that happening. Basically there's a breakout of a horrid virus that fills you with 100% rage and it's highly contagous and just horrible. I watched the latest outbreak of 28 Weeks with Robert Carlisle, and it's more gory and even more disturbing than the first one!! Absolutely wicked film, but has been stuck in my head ever since I watched it!! Other than that, I'd have to say The Ring. Top film!!

Nothing gets me more than that stupid noise that kid makes, and then to scare me further, my attic looks like the attic in the movie. So now I won't go in 10 feet of it. Gothwitch Liverpool England www.myspace.com/g0thwitch GOTHWITCH SAYS: I find most Julia Roberts movies to be most alarming. Acting as both an emetic and a sleep inducer simultaniously. Jonathan: Ouch for Julia. Mike Phoenix Arizona www.myspace.com/themulletmike MIKE SAYS: Scariest Movie: Halloween, the Original. The first time I saw the original Halloween I was eleven years old and had a paper route. The movie came on one night on HBO (before there was cable TV) and I watched it. After the movie was over, this eleven year old boy had to go out in the dark and deliver papers while everyone in the neighborhood was asleep. So imagine how I felt, at eleven years old, going up the drive- ways of peoples homes while their porch lights were out and having that movie fresh in my head. Talk about an adrenaline rush! What made it so damn scary was the combination of music and always seeing him somewhere in the background. Every shadow I had seen that night while delivering papers seemed to have a silhoutte of the killer, Michael Meyers. Bri Aberdeen Washington www.myspace.com/bridget_b_b BRI SAYS: Oh, the one I made in college when my boyfriend and my roomates and I all got really drunk and...just kidding. Probably Hostel. (If you haven't seen it it's about this place where people can go and buy human beings to kill in any sick twisted fashion they can come up with.) The victims are mostly tourists who are tricked into going there by promises of whatever works to get them there. The prices vary based on nationality, looks, or whatever. It's just really disturbing because it is so sick and really shows how evil some people are. Even worse is these days you know it probably isn't all that ficticious. People are getting sicker and sicker, and it's sad that human life means so little to so many. It just really leaves you feeling f*d up inside. Jonathan: Yeah Bri, I've seen it. It was a piece of rubbish. Wouldn't watch it again. Hear they are making a follow-up to it. Yuck!
