Scary Movies
-
No not those similarly titles crap films, but rather scary movies in general... They don't exist. They are a figment of girlie imaginations, the sales pitch of tissue companies run by female board members, and the by product of allowing women to write film scripts. I don't want to appear sexist, :-O, but that is how I have grown to see it. Now I've seen plenty of movies that were supposed to be horrifically frightening, that supposedly caused suicides through fear alone, and I am a person who really deeply concentrates on the television and gets drawn in to the exclusion of all exterior senses... yet I have not felt genuinely scared once. Not once. If you can name me one film - just one out of the millions out there - that will actually cause me to become scared then I will send you a goat's heart on a silver platter. Please, I want to experience this phenomenon

There´s a movie that I find truly scary (not scary... but... shocking) It´s called "Faces da Morte"... (translating: "Faces of Death"). I don´t know if this is th correct name in english, but try search for it. BTW, I dispense the goat heart... the silver plate would suffice :) Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 MRitter "Th@ langwagje is screwed! It has if's but no end if's!!

Well, there's "scary" (i.e. you piss your pants with fear) and "unnerving" (difficult to watch). I recently saw a film that was banned for years called "Straw Dogs" which contains a rape scene that is VERY VERY VERY unsettling - unwatchable to be honest. If you can sit through that and not feel any emotion then you are a ROCK my man...

The original "The Haunting". That was a scary film but may have had its reputation trashed by the pathetic modern version. What that original film had which so many other films have failed to capture, is a dependence on the viewer's imagination. I don't really recollect any actual manifestations of ghosts etc. rather, there were plenty of noises and strange phenomena. To this day my mother won't watch it alone, and I think I'd have to think about it before attempting this either! One modern film which I found quite chilling (but not scary) was "The Others" - it's a genuine old-fashioned ghost story. Unfortunately I figured what was going on half-way through (but that's better than when I ruined 6th Sense for myself by figuring that out 20 mins into the film). Damn coder's analytical mind! Anyway, I will admit I also found the Blair Witch a bit disturbing when I saw it for the first time and before all the hype about it. I went in not even knowing what we were going to see so I had no expectations! "The folly of man is that he dreams of what he can never achieve rather than dream of what he can."

I normally laugh, because they are so ridiculous. But stuff like the creepier X-Files episodes scare the shit out of me. All that tension, suspense and hidden terror gets to me big time. I check behind doors, and not for lost pennies either. When the X-Files first came out I watched one episode and then did not watch another one for a good two years. After I realised the series was brilliant I steeled myself into watching the creepier episodes. Maybe you are just scarier than any of the characters in these movies so you are not scared in turn? I am a yellow daffodil in comparison.

I'm not into scary movies -- getting scared is not my idea of time/money well spent. However, I do remember two movies from Stephen King which I considered particularly good and creepy: - Pet Sematary - Misery Still, my favorite Stephen King flik is Christine, which isn't really scary, but definetely entertaining. :-) Regards, Alvaro

The one who scaried me the most is between a movie and a documentary: it's called "Nuit et Brouillard"[^](Night and Fog). I've seen it years ago but can't still forget some of the pictures shown.
