> What is the scariest movie you have seen and why did it scare you?

I'm going to cheat here. It's not actually a movie, it's an episode of "The New Twilight Zone" called "Something in the Walls". The short synopsis is "A terrified woman is hospitalized when she claims to see faces hiding in
patterns and cracks in the walls."

Man, was that creepy. I watched it alone one night and when it was over... wooo. Dang. It was the most freightening thing I had seen. It didn't help that the walls and the ceiling of my dorm room were textured.


> Followup: What movie did you think would scare you and why didn't it?

I'm going to cheat here a little bit again. After a party in college, this girl I had a crush on invited me to her friend's place where we were to watch John Carpenter's "Prince of Darkness". All four or five of the people watching the movie were stone cold creeped out by the film. They didn't appreciate me rolling on the floor, laughing at the movie.

The scene with Alice Cooper as a homeless guy, standing with other homeless people in the gate to the courtyard was supposed to be threatening, but it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Anyway, she and I never went out after that.

Aside: It's kind of weird, John Carpenter and I. I either love his movies (They Live, Escape from New York, Big Trouble in Little China) or hate them (Village of the Damned, Escape from LA, In The Mouth of Madness -- the only film I've ever walked out of the theater on because it was so stupid).
