to be watching The Woman In Black without anyone to hide behind?

[postmanpatscat]

Will I have to sleep with the light on?!

[Tattle]

It isn't a scary movie for me.felt predictable when watching it.
As a rule though I don't watch horrors/thrillers alone just Incase

[thebody]

Bugger, just collect the kid?

[thebody]

I loved it. What do you think if the ending? Is the wib helping him by helping him to go hack to his wife or was she hoping to j

[havingamadmoment]

I watched this, I normally can't watch horror of any kind but I managed this for some reason !

[LilacBreastedRoller]

It did make me jumpy, but the effect was offset by the fact that I was sitting in front of a row of teenage boys who shouted things like "Use your wand!" and the names of appropriate Harry Potter spells at Daniel Radcliffe whenever things got sticky .

[WildlingPrincess]

It terrified the life out of me! I'm a bit wimp though

[Mandy2003]

when you think it's safe!

[cory]

I loved the play, but didn't think much of the film at all. Lots of takes of Daniel Radcliffe wandering around with the same facial expression.

[drudgewithagrudge]

The film is pants!

I've seen the play twice and was even more terrified the second time because I knew what was coming.

I often go to tend my parents grave on a Saturday and because it is a pretty church there is very often a wedding when I perform my sad duty. I am tempted to wear the full WIB outfit and stand at the edge of the churchyard then when some hapless guest does a double take I'll duck down behind a tombstone and frighten the life out of them.

Yes; the 90's TV version was really and truly scary. I haven't actually seen the modern version; I'm wondering if it's worth it!

[raisah]

I watched the tv version when it was on in the late 90's and I was terrified. I got my sister to stand outside the loo as I was petrified but couldnt hold it in for much longer.

I havent seen the new version yet.

[postmanpatscat]

I'm not quite alone, DD is downstairs in her room. She just rang my mobile and made me jump though flippin lazy arse teenager

I think the solution is to have the sound off and the subtitles on, no sudden noises or creepy music

[BeQuicksieorBeDead]

Oh yes the tv one is much scarier! And Whistle and I'll Come to You... Bloody hell!

[ravenAK]

I teach the novel for GCSE.

The film's a bit too jump scary & silly to be genuinely creepy in a lasting way.

My year 10s enjoyed it - & laughed their socks off at ye olde TV adaptation, which is notorious but isn't actually that scary if you watch it now tbh.

We've just watched 'The Shining' as part of our work on the haunted house genre. The verdict was 'Yeah, that actually did proper shit me up, miss' from one of my likely lads!

That said TWiB will make you jump. Wouldn't fancy watching it on my own late night for the first time.

[Remotecontrolduck]

Film is absolute crap in my opinion. I have read the book and seen the stage show, which is really good. Far superior to the film.

[Loulybelle]

Woman in Black, freaked me out for a week, Hills have eyes, still makes my skin crawl.

[BuntyPenfold]

I love Captain Corelli film but the book is awful.So grim.

Woman in Black is both terrifying and so so sad.

[ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll]

I just got to the last 20 minutes of Paranormal Activity 4 then switched it off. I wouldn't even attempt to watch Woman in Black.

It didn't help that the toddler sneaked downstairs and whispered "mum" in a creepy voice.

[FreudiansSlipper]

Yes you will

But be thankful that it is not the tv adaptation that is far more scary it has only been shown once

[HormonalHousewife]

What you are going to start watching it now ? alone ?

You are one brave cat !

[Helpyourself]

I've seen the play and was petrified. Do you know what's coming.
I'm watching captain Corelli's mandolin. Spoiler alert- I think there's a snake coming...

[UnrequitedSkink]

Urgh, I nearly climbed under my seat in the cinema at one point. There's no way I could watch it alone, am impressed by your foolishness bravery OP.
