"I'm an enormous film fan and when I was growing up everybody had a big bucket of Lego or knew somebody who did," says film student Alex Eylar, 22, of Oakland, Calif.

The aspiring screenwriter began collecting LEGOs when he was five years old and now he boasts somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 pieces in his collection, which he now uses to recreate classic movie scenes.

"I make all my Lego projects at a table in the corner of [my] living room. I've got five of those big plastic drawer bureaus, filled with pieces divided by color, style, function. For smaller projects, the build can ...

Iconic films including The Empire Strikes Back, The Exorcist and Saturday Night Fever are to be preserved as American national treasures with an induction into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry.

Twenty five films have been selected to be stored in the national archives as part of an annual drive to preserve movies with artistic, cultural or historical significance.

George Lucas' 1980 sci-fi sequel is among the 2010 inductees and will join the Star Wars film in the archive, while Saturday Night Fever, starring a disco-dancing John Travolta, horror classic The Exorcist, and ...

THE BEST

THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW (1988) WES CRAVEN

“Don't bury me, I am not dead!”

Imagine this... you're paralyzed but conscious, however unable to move or in any other way able to communicate with others. You can't even signal that you are alive. Those around you pronounce you dead. Doesn't sound like a happy ending, now does it?

Horror movies are usually full of tall, lurking serial killers, big bad monsters or vengeful victims, but every so often there’s a film that transforms what seems to be an innocent child into a frightening nightmare. In celebration of this weeks release ‘Let Me In’ let’s take a look back at some other kids that scare the crap out of us.

Police were called to Linda Blair's animal shelter on Sunday after a neighbor allegedly shot dead the actress' dog to stop it attacking a pet pig.

The Exorcist star's Labrador cross is said to have escaped from her WorldHeart Foundation rescue center in Los Angeles, before running to a nearby ranch, where it reportedly mauled a miniature potbellied pig.

The ranch owners allege the dog clawed the pig in a "death grip" so they fired five shots into the air to scare it away. When the dog failed to loosen its grip, Blair's neighbors claim they had no choice but to gun down the canine.

Caddyshack isn't that good, and it's not very funny. If you're 9 out of 10 red blooded American men, that last sentence just infuriated you like I just made slanderous remarks about your grandmother. I've never met your grandmother, but I have seen Caddyshack - and it kind of sucks. My editors were quick to advise me that although they were giving me the go-ahead on this piece, they would have to include a bigger than usual disclaimer saying that the opinions expressed are solely that of Matthew J. Swanson. I'll tell you that right now, too: it is just my opinion, but it happens to be t...

Today is Halloween. No introduction necessary. Check out our list of five of the most overrated and underrated horror movies of all time:

UNDERRATED

5. "Scream" (1996)

Ah, the classic case of so overrated it became underrated. Actually, it's more that this movie was so good and influential that its hallmarks have become so deeply ingrained in moviedom that we can't imagine a time that existed before it. It didn't invent the slasher genre, it just brought it to a new level, adding humor and bringing a spot of intelligence to its leads. It was also a perfect parody of ...

Another Halloween is upon us, and in addition to witches and goblins "All Hallows Eve" conjures up images of everyone's favorite bad guy, Satan. Here's a list of some of Hollywood's best actors and their interpretation of the world's "worst" guy.

Tim Curry in "Legend" as "Darkness"

Only in the darkness will Satan have power and only in a Ridley Scott film will Tim Curry be the ultimate Satan for all time as "Darkness" itself. Amazing costume and make-up design help to bring the most sexual and darkly beautiful embodiment of the Devil to film. Darkness is a lonely and sadly...

In the mid-1980s while American mothers panicked over the influence rock music had on the nation's youth, the mothers of Great Britain panicked over an entirely different matter. Rather than setting their crosshairs on Quiet Riot or Prince, the British went after ultra-violent exploitation films. While in America, the music industry carried on mostly unharmed, the rabble of concerned parents in the UK influenced legislation which led to dozens of films being banned by the government. In 1984, the British government released a list of films they considered too vile for public consumption. Th...

Everybody loves a good child performance. This might start with parents parading their children out to sing songs at dinner parties or the endless school plays parents are forced to attend, but whatever it is, kid actors are ingrained in a positive way in the eyes of many filmgoers.

It seems that if a kid simply manages to speak in a way that can be understood the performance earns praise. It's been this way since the 1920s and has since grown to a degree that certain kiddie performers are more powerful than their veteran contemporaries.

But not all such performances are great, i...

And, working on the show, allowed Friedkin to reunite with CSI actor William Petersen, who starred in his 1985 movie To Live And Die In LA.

Petersen says, "I have a movie career because of him. He's the first guy I ever learned from...

Dynasty star Robert Symonds has died of complications from prostate cancer. He was 80.

The actor, who played Dr. Jonas Edwards on the cult TV soap from 1982 to 1987, will also be remembered for movie roles in The Exorcist and Micki & Maude, in which he starred with his wife Priscilla Pointer.

The couple also performed English-language plays in their adopted Paris, France annually.

Actress Linda Blair is convinced her leading role in The Exorcist left her cursed because she has struggled to make it as an adult star after finding fame aged just 14. The 47-year-old, who played Regan in the 1973 horror classic, is jealous of Anthony Hopkins' career rejuvenation after he terrified audiences as Hannibal Lector in The Silence Of The Lambs.

She tells New York Daily News, "Why can Anthony Hopkins play the other most horrific character in film history, then go on to do wonderful dramatic, romantic leads and so on? And with me, they are much more difficult, and that hurts...

Damon Wayans refuses to watch horror films after he was mentally scarred by watching The Exorcist as a child. The actor insists he doesn't need extra scares in his life. He says, "When I was a little boy, they showed it in a church in New York at an after-school program, and it messed me up."

He added, "To this day I don't see scary movies. I'm scared enough of life, I don't want to be worried by anything else."

The 1973 film, starring Linda Blair as a possessed girl, was recently named the "Scariest Film Ever" is magazine Stuff.

Participants in a Halloween survey by Blockbuster said that the scene in the film The Ring in which the dead Samara crawls out of the television haunts them more than any other, although scenes from Hannibal, The Exorcist and The Blair Witch Project come close behind.

Close to 60 percent of those surveyed reported being unable to get a scary image out of their mind after watching a horror film. It's easy to see why, with a feast of frightening films to see that include Hannibal Lecter dining on Ray Liotta's brains while he's still alive in Hannibal.

Actress Linda Blair is set to come full circle in an upcoming episode of drama Supernatural when she plays a detective who arrests the series' stars for conducting illegal exorcisms. Blair played Regan MacNeil in 1973 horror classic The Exorcist.

"Supernatural" is set in the dark world of the unexplained. Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles) are two young brothers who are bound to an "other worldly" mission.

Hi."

Black Eyed Peas star Fergie nearly became a "devil worshipper" because of her childhood obsession with classic horror film The Exorcist. The singer admits her mother became so concerned with her addiction to the 1970s horror classic, she taped over her copy.

She says, "I keep going back to 'The Exorcist.' When I was a kid I had a copy of it, but my mom taped over it because she thought I was going to become a devil worshipper. How close was that to the truth? Well, I guess at certain points of my life she was right, I was a bit off the dial, but you can't deny it's a great movie, so ...
