Well now I know what I’ll be having nightmares about tonight! You’re right it was super creepy as he was barely visible in the dark.

Sorry for the nightmares 😖

I also locked my bedroom door after Blair witch project - again that bit where the camera pans round at the end and something is in the corner!!!

I never really got the Blair Witch Project.
For those who watched it - Was it truly scary or just hype?

@crumpet you know you love it 😅

The Blair witch project scared the hell out of me. I don't like horror though and only watched it under protest.

I agree with all of those.
But I tried rewatching All McBeal recently and had to turn it off.
I am very much not one of the permanently offended brigade and think things have to be seen as part of the times they were made in but the jokes about disabled and fat people were too much for me to stomach.

I'm a proper scaredy cat @Idontknowhatnametochoose that's why I've never watched it properly 🙈

I can't remember which Jaws movie this is from but I was sooo scared to go to the bathroom alone for ages.
It's the scene where a skeleton/skull pops out of a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.

Macgyver, Mission Impossible, 21 Jump Street, Taggart, Beverly Hills 90210, La Femme Nikita, Muppet Babies, He Man, Fraggle Rock and absolutely best of all the X Files.

I've only seen the first Jaws but I would be exactly the same! Horror is not my cup of tea.
