And while the pace is fairly languid, I always felt Kinski was just crazy enough to keep it alive.<BR/><BR/>But yeah, The Shining is probably your best bet. Though I still think <I>Eraserhead</I> is scary enough for a Halloween party, or maybe it's just because I love that movie so much that I think it's right for everything....Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056272087886564663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538142.post-28164679008563265112007-09-19T12:35:00.000-07:002007-09-19T12:35:00.000-07:00I agree with Rob, The Shining would be a great mov...I agree with Rob, <I>The Shining</I> would be a great movie to watch. <I>Jesus Camp</I> freaked me out, too, but fear of what those children will grow up to do isn't halloween scary. <BR/><BR/>Also, in my <B>personal opinion</B> (seeming to be in the very small minority) <I>Aguirre, Wrath of God</I> bored the living heck out of me.

So I may grin and bear it on Shining, although there's plenty of oppertunities for me to chicken out of that one in the oncoming months...Unmutualhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06317682642911946981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20538142.post-76084528412246463232007-09-13T01:25:00.000-07:002007-09-13T01:25:00.000-07:00That's certainly a tough question.Being so ridicul...That's certainly a tough question.<BR/><BR/>Being so ridiculously manly, I've never been scared in my entire life, so I never really got into the horror scene. The scariest movie I've seen is <I>Jesus Camp</I>, which I found terrifying but I don't think that's quite what you're asking for. <BR/><BR/>I thought <I>Deliverance</I> for a minute, because of its overall sense of trouble, but again, I'm not sure that's what you're after.<BR/><BR/><I>Aguirre, Wrath of God</I> was the next movie to come to mind but saying "How about a German movie from the '70s about some Spanish conquistadors who go down a river?" may not go down so well. However, I remember when I first saw it, many years ago, it scared the absolute bejeezus out of me.<BR/><BR/>Finally, <I>Eraserhead</I> came to mind. Completely amazing but also disturbing on so many different levels, it fits the bill perfectly. The only problem is, some may find it a bit slow, or give up on it because they can't follow it exactly.<BR/><BR/>In the end, my advice would be, try <I>The Shining</I>. It may scar, but it's such a finely crafted disturber that it's worth it.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056272087886564663noreply@blogger.com
