Continue The Scares Before Fright Night with More Movies

Linda — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 17:59:37 +0000

Watching those classic horror films really allow you to appreciate the computer generated graphics of today’s society. Although original, and scary, sometimes old movies can seem boring and bland compared to the special effects found in recent films. To get the original movie plot and theme, but upgrade to the death-defying effects, remakes of the classics are always intriguing. To continue the scares into your Encinitas home tonight, here is a list of the top remakes and recent films. Can you think of any films you would like to see remade?

5. Psycho – 1998 – Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho was remade with Vince Vaughn, who can be extremely creepy if given the role. Nowadays we think of Vince as the quarky relationship guy who brings his sarcasm to the screen. Not in this one. A young Vince is the disturbed Norman Bates, living out his mother’s wishes of finding the right girl.

4. Halloween – 2007 – A lonely, insane boy becomes a revengeful man and constantly searches for the spiritual healing he will never find. Rob Zombie Brings to life the 1978 classic with modern sound and visual effects, while recreating the childhood and life of Michael Myers. The aficionado of horror films, Rob Zombie, takes the darkness and gore to a new level in this one.

3. The Last House on the Left – 2009 – A family’s summer home is plagued by a murderous gang of fugitives. To protect their only remaining child, the parent’s become the opposite of their moral and ethical lives. I remember this 1972 film to have terrible lighting and sound, and extremely gruesome and disturbing scenes. This remake takes the awe down a notch but still gets the point across with advanced visual and audio effects. I still had to cover my eyes at some parts, but they were definitely more dramatic than disgusting.

2. The Ring – 2002 – Originating from Japan, and getting great reviews, the American remake of the version is one of my personal favorites. The suspense of the future fate of certain individuals who watch a video, pushes one lady to get to the bottom of the mystery.

1.The Crazies – 2010 – When a mass attack of a biohazard is released on a small country town, one by one of its inhabitants start to go crazy. The Sheriff fights his way to stay alive to find the cause of the craziness. Will all his loved ones and friends go crazy too?

Hopefully you will get your fill of indoor scares with these movies. Make your home in Encinitas seem like a dungeon, crypt, or cemetary with quick tips for creating a haunted house in upcoming posts. And don’t forget to stop by Coldwell Banker and greet your Encinitas Real Estate Agent Linda Moore.

Top Haunted Flicks To Bring the Dead Home with You!

Linda — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 21:01:15 +0000

Now that you have gotten out of the coffin and into the streets of the living dead, it’s time to cozy up to the fireplace with your favorite haunted movie. Break out dark hot chocolate and ghastly marshmallows and wrap yourself up before the TV to experience some of the classics in horror films along with some recent remakes. Lock your doors, turn off the lights and turn your Encinitas home into a crypt with your loved ones, pets, or neighbors, while entering the twilight zone of imagination. Here is a list of the top 5 classics for you to enjoy for the fall holiday.

5. Nosferatu – 1922 – Vampire Count Orlok expresses interest in a new residence and real estate agent Hutter’s wife. Silent classic based on the story “Dracula.” As an Encinitas home real estate agent, Count Orlok would the nightmare I avoid EVERY night! This may be an extra scare for me this Halloween.

4. Diabolique – 1955 – The wife of a cruel headmaster and his mistress conspire to kill him, but after the murder is committed, his body disappears, and strange events begin to plague the two women.

3. The Shining – 1980 – My personal favorite. While watching the Overlook Hotel and Resort in the winter mountains, the Torrence family is plagued by the crimes of its past caregivers, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

2. Alien – 1979 – A mining ship, investigating a suspected SOS, lands on a distant planet. The crew discovers some strange creatures and investigates. This one is so popular it may not even be scary anymore, but definitely enjoyable to recite along with your favorite stars.

1. Psycho – 1960 – Another Favorite. Running away from life, the young woman stops at a desolate motel only to find the psychotic owner plagued by the control of his mother.

Keeping busy with the classics for tonight, stay tuned into the blog for tomorrow’s post of top 5 remakes and recent horror films. Before the sun goes down and you turn into the vampire, fly over to Encinitas for your look at homes by Coldwell Banker’s Real Estate Agent Linda Moore.

http://bit.ly/aNjXpz

I’m always concerned with the safety of my clients and their homes. Yesterday I featured a blog post dealing with the importance of checking out your insurance coverage with respect to the damage caused by storms and weather related events. Today, as a follow up to that topic, I’m providing a link to a very handy and practical guide to keep your family and property protected during inclement weather. The guide contains many tips to safeguard your Encinitas home in the event of a sudden storm, tornado or hurricane. Though most of the country, including California, has been spared from a major hurricane during the annual season, having a defined plan for emergency preparedness can often reduce the need for costly repairs and keep you and your loved ones safe!

The neighborhood of Pacifica is full of homes in Encinitas that are right along the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. These homes all are sprawled throughout the Northern part of the city and are just steps away from Moonlight Beach – the most popular beach in Encinitas. You can sunbathe, swim in the Ocean, or take some surfing lessons at Leucadia Surf School which is just outside of the Pacifica neighborhood, or travel up the coast to Surfin Fire. You’ll be within walking distance of the North County Transit District train station which can take you anywhere throughout the coastal San Diego County without taking your car! But in case you do need to drive, you’re just a few moments away from the 101 if you live in a Pacifica house. Be sure to check out Auggies House of Crab for some fine seafood, and grab a drink at Leucadian, one of the local Southern California style bars near the beach. You’ll be right within the beach area of Encinitas if you own a home in Pacifica, so check out this neighborhood if you’re looking for a more high paced lifestyle here in Encinitas, yet not too far from the relaxing lifestyle of the beach!

Picture Yourself Living in this New Encinitas House

Linda — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:15:21 +0000

Summer is the ideal season to be on the prowl for a new Encinitas house. Viewing and taking tours of homes is an ideal way of being productive all the while enjoying a summertime afternoon or evening. It is nice to get outside and smell the fresh scents of greenery and listen to the chirps of insects. It can be easy to neglect these things and opt to turn the TV on instead. Going out and hunting for your next dream house in Encinitas forces you to go outside and enjoy the longest days of the year.

Sometimes, however, schedules just don’t allow for much needed tours to be taken. Luckily, virtual tours are available for many homes and allow you to preview a home before deciding if it is worth taking a physical tour of. It is important to realize that virtual tours do not do many homes justice, however, I try and provide you with the best depictions of homes.

This Encinitas house on 727 Appleridge Drive is near all the awesome amenities typical of its location near the Camino Real shopping center. It is situated on an enormous lot and is ideal for anybody wishing to spend afternoons and evening on their own property. The décor of this beautiful home in Encinitas gives it a kind of relaxing desert feel and is very well lit throughout. Go ahead, and take the virtual tour!
