to be absolutely petrified right now because I am watching The Shining?

[SoleSource]

It is a movie I have always tried to avoid as it psychologically terrifies me. The slow descent into insanity of Jack Nicholson's character.

I shouldn't be this scared should I?

I am going to watch and conquer my fear.

Which movie terrifies you?

If there was a crazy women in the hotel would you leave your child alone whilst you went to fetch your mad husband?

Solesource, hated that clown thing! Loved when the kid took it apart...but then the tree!! And now I'm scared again, lol!

comedycentral I agree... the tension is just missing... the drawn out, disturbing aspects aren't there.

I don't watch any modern horrors anymore, they are nasty, but the plots are boring and they are just packed with gore. I prefer it left to the imagination.

I adore the shining though. It doesn't scare me particularly, but it disturbs me a bit.

Agree horrors are too clean, fresh
no tea now, feel sick

Oh yeah she just left him alone!

The sheer size and lonliness of that hotel, ghosts or not would put me off. Would you be there alone comedy?

It's the creepy old woman later on that really gets my gag reflex on alert :P

What lies beneath eas good, the bath scene oooh ooh!

I liked the Family Guy sketch of The Shining...

No I would take lots of family. I think we would all get go karts and ride around the hotel. Would read lots, paint, exercise. It would be brilliant.

The old man looks scared. I have forgotten most of this film.

What about the carpets? Scary!

FREAKING OUT

Lol at carpets

Breathe!

the shining is a fabulous film! what sides it on?

Thanks I was actually holding my breath then. =-O

Someone mentioned an old lady upthread

The old guy and boy were terrified

Jack you cheat!

Argh that is disturbing!!!

Itv 4 viva

There she is l

YANBU!

But I think I may have BU when I was reading it a few months ago on the bus to work, about 8.30am and I got so scared that I closed the book and put it bag in my bag :/

I like Asian horror films. The grudge for example. Took me three attempts to sit through whole thing and you can't look away because it's in subtitles!!

Jeez the size of her ears!

I know he went upstairs to look for the woman who strangled his child! Then he ends up snogging her.

Loved the original grudge

You watching Viva?
