Show 2A Lakeside Review, Wednesday, October 15. 1986 Curl up with scary movie on Halloween BRYON SAXTON Review staff ' The approaching Halloween holiday offers those individuals who enjoy a festive spirit added incentive to bring a jitter or boo into their lives. And what easier way is there to provide that artificial thrill than through the magic of a video cassette recorder (VCR). However, in viewing a horror classic treat which can be responsible for shortening sleeping hours and increasing October light bills, one must find a flick with enough fright to scare yet enough plot to keep you awake between screams. "Listed below is this critics choice and summary of the 10 best fright films captured on video for private home viewing. Fright successes not listed below are either not available on video or are not suitable for public viewing. 1. Halloween - (R) A 1978 modern-da- y classic directed by John Carpenter who later went on to produce other fright flicks such as, The Fog and The Thing." And for those keeping track, this frightening tale of a boogey man who just wont die is the most financially successful independent film ever made. Obviously, that fact assisted in making it my number one pick. 2. Alien - (R) A 1979 science fiction space adventure starring Tom Skerritt of Top Gun and Sigourney Weaver, who starred in the recent 1986 stunning sequel Aliens. 3. Fright Night - (R) A 1985 sleeper which reached box office success by combining outstanding visual special effects with a modern-da- y vampire who likes to dance until he drops. 4. Jaws - (PG) A 1975 shark classic that makes even Moby Dick want to get out of the water. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Jaws stars a shark, along with Academy Award win- ner Richard Dreyfuss from Goodbye Girl and lead villian from The Sting, Robert Shaw. 5. The Thing - (R) a 1983 John Carpenter remake of the 30-fo- ot ' - t f - - ing storyline that may attract a more mature audience, while it may have a tendency to confuse a younger viewer. 7. The Omen - (R) a 1976 film about Satanic heritage with dynamic performances by Gregory Peck from To Kill a Mockingbird and Lee Remick of The Days of Wines and Roses. ' ,V Hv 9. When a Stranger Calls (R) A 1978 suspense-packe- d film about baby sitting and not about demon-lik- e possessions. -- the future of the nations Young Astronauts Space Program.

'Stoddard claims the controversial jail issue has been put on hold by the commissioner to prevent it from being addressed inC their campaigns for the Nov. 4 election. ISaunders denied any substance to: Stoddards claim. Stoddard said he supports the concept of adding to the current jail facility, while Saunders said He feels due to the growth of the county it is necessary to cond struct a new facility, with the. capabilities of expanding it d into a facility. The proposed construction of the million-dolljail facility has been an item of controversy during the last several years because of the apparent high cost of the facility to the taxpayer. Every bit of information generated through the (DeLane) study has been presented to the public, Saunders said. Things have not just been sitting on hold. The study funded by the county reviewed possible jail sites and other considerations in construct200-be- 400-be- ar ing a new facility. Saunders said the jail issue is currently being addressed by county sheriff personnel, who are ip the process of meeting with residents in and near the areas listed as possible site locations. The three proposed site locations are in the Farmington and west Farmington areas. jdowever, the challenger feels a new jail is not a viable expense.

Stoddard said he also feels the $23,000 per acre price the county would be paying for one of the proposed sites is too high a price to pay for swamp ground. Saunders said a jail addition would be inadequate. You cant put on a band-ai- d Saunders said reon a band-aito ferring constructing another addition to the current facility. Two additions have been made to the jail facility, one in 65 and another in 79. Trying to build over the heads of traffic would be impractical, he said. Saunders said the public would be further educated on the issue before a final decision was made. Among other issues the candidates addressed was a $56 million dollar county bum plant. The burn plant, to be located east of Hill Air Force Base, will bum garbage to create steam. The steam will then be purchased by the base. The basic idea to have a burn plant to take care of our garbage was good,? Stoddard said. But what I do resent is the way it was presented to the public. I think they rushed the people to go along with their decision, he said. And I dont feel the county should be badgering Lay-toClearfield and Bountiful to join the special service district. The burn plant is a great idea, but if the cities dont want to join they should leave them alone, Saunders said it Rubs me the wrong way when the commission is accused of hiding things from the public. That is not the case. The cities had every bit of information the county had.
