I am the only person I know that thinks this movie is scary. It really creeps me out though. Something about a dead person floating up in a well that is very unnerving. Usually it's certain scenes and not overall movies that scare me. The Sixth Sense is probably the best overall for the most scares(more like creepy scares and not a 'make you jump' scare). And that darn vampire kid floating outside and tapping on the window in Salem's lot, I had to turn it off at that scene the other night cuz I couldn't bear it. The dead girl in the closet it The Ring was horrifying too. Maybe we should do a scary scene post.
Follow Ups:
The topic of scary movies came up awhile back at work and 'The Changeling' was brought up by someone as one of their favorite scary flicks. I had forgotten about it, but have since been meaning to rent it as I do remember it creeping me out when I saw it at the time of it's release, although I was pretty young at the time and this might have something to do with it. The scene with the ball bouncing down the stairs still haunts me a little to this day...Now Salem's Lot...that wasn't bad! Especially for a made-for-TV film. It was replayed on TV awhile back and I watched some of it. It holds up surprisingly well; MUCH darker in mood than your typical TV fare. I started a 'scariest film you've ever seen' thread on another message board quite awhile back that got some great responses. I actually had to go back to the thread to cut and paste a section of a response discussing his personal Salem's Lot experience.
"...i think by far the most violent reaction to a horror scene i've ever witnessed was during a viewing of Salem's Lot. i was over at a friend's house. (he wasn't too fond of horror movies, but, as with everything else during those days, i talked him into it.) i can't remember if the scene was the appearance of Mr. Barlowe or the boy-vampire's entrance in the hospital... but when the beast appeared, matt did two screaming back-flips and ended up cowering in the corner of the room, crying hysterically.
his mother made me go home and prevented me from *ever* coming over to their house again.
matt wouldn't talk to me in school for months afterward...
even now (15 years later) when i run into him during visits home, he still gives me distrustful side-long glances as if i might just pull something else outta my pocket to fuck with his head...
mental note: make sure to schedule some time this christmas to go over to matt's house in the middle of the night and scratch on his window... "
Classic.
