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?

That film i was on about with tunnels, and couldn't remember the name?

It was called The Tunnel

Doesn't sound mad at all, sounds right up my street as no way were the moon landings real!! Oooooo must see it!

I'm all freaked out from just reading this thread!
This and listening to a spooky audiobook about a bunch of people trapped on the Flannan Island lighthouse with something spooky that keeps making weird noises and was responsible for the disappearance of three keepers on 1901! That bit is actually true and it's scaring the bejesus out of me! I had to go out in the fog after dark yesterday to do the ponies!i nearly shit a brick!
I'm really not good with horror!

If you've not seen The Mist yet you should see it, it's based on another Stephen King story and is very creepy and atmospheric.

The Shining is the only film which has ever properly scared me.

I never found the film version of the shining as good as the book in any way shape form.
Has anyone seem A Tale of Two Sisters? very messed up Korean horror!

Seen!

I've watched The Shining a couple of times, but always in stages, never actually managed to sit and watch it from start to end.

I have read it though, and that scared me shitless. Once I got into it, I would sit with a rolling pin at my side... just in case... DH offered to put the book away in the freezer for me so it couldn't come and get me.

What about "It"? That scared me shitless throughout the entire mini series, days if terror! Then the ending was totally SHIT!

The Shining didn't really scare me, I liked it and some parts are a bit creepy but not really scary. The Ring, Shutter (Japanese version), The Grudge, Insidious, Gothika, Paranormal Activity all scared the absolute crap out of me. I still wanna see PA4 though!

no way were the moon landings real!

YABVVVU

Actually valiumredhead there's an excellent documentary called 'Dark Side of The Moon' where Kubrick's wife is interviewed and she says quite openly that Kubrick was involved in faking the Apollo 11 landing.

As you watch, though, it's becomes clear that the whole thing is a pisstake of moon hoax believers.

Watch the Simpsons Halloween episode The Shinning. That should cure you of being scared. Tis hilarious...

I've never dared watched the Shining but a few years back I stayed in the hotel that inspired Stephen King to write the book (The Stanley Hotel, Estes Park). It's a beautiful hotel in stunning scenery but there was definitely something wierd about the place with its long, long corridors...

We stayed there 2 nights but I couldn't sleep a wink the first night for some unknown reason and I only managed to sleep the next night after moving the bed to a different part of the room!!!

That was scary enough for me!

In last month's Empire they did a spread on Room 237.

It was a great read and I've not seen the film, it made me tempted to though.

Oh my life! Arrrrghhhh Adverese

Sole did you watch all of it and did you sleep well afterwards?

Yean, wstched it from about ten minutes in to the end. Felt calm afterwards,.strange.

I turned The Shining on last night but was too tired to watch much of it. I saw the bit where Danny's mum had said Danny said he'd been attacked in Rm 237 so Nicholson went there and started snogging some woman who turned into a rotting corpse. Wasn't scared, watched another 10 minutes and fell asleep.

I couldn't watch Paranormal Activity all the way through.

Has anyone seen Cabin In The Woods - looks good from the clip I saw. I'm thinking of renting it next week.
