    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.

                                      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

                                      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.

Pokemon. Any of them. Scary stuff to have to sit through, believe me. btw, I'm not so partial to goat's hearts, and it might go off a bit in the post, so a bar of chocolate will do, ta. Debbie
