Just warning y'all, this video includes a chilling moment from The Shining, so if you haven't seen this movie yet, watch it first, then watch this video.

I'm honestly very creeped out right now. As if the obvious shit wasn't scary enough. The maker of this video is very observant.

Yeah, well...HUMPH.

Edit: I'd like to at least say that something was POSSIBLY there. If it wasn't, no big deal, the flowing blood was scary enough. If Stanley were still around, he'd settle this once and for all maybe, lol.

i loved that movie. i think the music was the primary key element in the horror. try watching movies this scary without the soundtrack, it'll give you a new perspective on the movie.

Perhaps. I loved The Shining's music, but movies without a whole lot of score in them is an effective choice.

did u see paranormal activity? i have a movie buff friend that told me it's one of the scariest movies he's ever seen.

Have you seen it? It's pretty creepy. A bunch of people think it's overrated bullshit, but their expectations must have been too high. The fact that there was no music made it 10 times more chilling in certain points of the movie.

I have mixed feelings about The Blair Witch Project. It was definitely ahead of its time (right?), but only the ending was pretty scary, lol. Go rent PA!

That has to be one of the biggest let downs ever. Maybe it's because we'd already heard about how the Yanks thought it was actually real, I dunno, I do know that me and my mate would have been bored to tears by it if we hadn't have sunk a bottle of rum first and then spent most of the film pissing ourself laughing (including in the empty rum bottle) :D

Yeah I agree.

I kept waiting for something to happen. Everyone had told me it was such a scary film and that I wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks but my goodness, I was bored to tears.

It was a Project alright....a huge one to try and stay awake. The most overhyped movie EVER I reckon.
