^I too, was quite young when watching the Exorcist, might have been like 10 or something? It was, and still is, one of my mom's fav films, maybe even her all-time favourite.
We like scary films. Only thing I was scared about at the time was when I lay in bed and thought my bed was going to thump up and down like Reagans.
But possession doesn't scare me and I have never been religious (I have been baptized and did my first communion, but I never believed in any of it, were just stories to me) so maybe then it's different. I don't believe in god ir the devil, so it's just another film of fiction to me.

Ted Bundy - in shackles, obviously, just to find out why he did what he did.
Some of the other members of your dinner party might not be able to stomach it if he went into details I think..
I've always find serial killers fascinating in a weird way, but his necrophiliac tendencies might upset the stomach of quite a few guests hee hee.. including me. The rest what he did is sick, but can you imagine necrophilia? Ew. -
Micheala Conlin (preferably as Angela Montenegro, she'd wickedly funny and seems veeeery nice)
Anne Hathaway
Sholto, king of the Sluagh from Laurell Hamilton's Merry Gentry books
Mistral, Storm Lord, again from above books.
Sarah Carter (from CSI and Shark)
All hotties again, which I wouldn't mind getting very up close and personal with hee hee, so I think we'd find something else to do after dinner, possibly.
Plus I would love to have a chat with Mistral and Sholto about what it's like to live in world of faery, and to be immortal sidhe. Wow.

I don't know if you have heard of a film called Paranormal Activity. Same concept as The Blair Witch Project leading you to believe it is real footage but it is so scary! It is one of those films where you are expecting something really scary to happen all the time (as in every single scene!) and I ended up sleeping with the lights on for a week.
I almost fell asleep when watching this. Paranormal Activity I mean. It was soooo boring.. a guy at work told me he couldn't sleep the night after since it was so scary, so I thought, hey worth watching.
*yawns* But nope. I am sorry, but
doors slamming, footsteps in the hall and a girl being dragged from her bed,
all of that really doesn't scare me. Plus, the camera work was annoying, not to mention the guy and girl, they were so irritating that by the end of the film, they made me want to murder them myself.
So not scary, now if you'd name that one of the most boring films ever, I'd agree.

King remade the movie in 1997 including all the parts of the book and it almost would have worked but for the terribly misguided casting of the young boy who played Danny who couldn't keep a straight face during his scenes
. Shame, as it could have been something special.Couldn't agree more.. I did like this film, the guy who "replaced" Jack Nicholson might have been less evil, but certainly got the job done.. didn't like the wife too much, but the boy, he was nothing short of annoying. Weird faces, bad acting, and he always talked like he has too much spit in his mouth.
Has been years since I've seen the 70's version of this film, didn't remember they left out that much, the hedge animals etc (now that was kinda scary) but that is weird, since it is a scene that freaks out most people..
-
No pork or any other meat for me - we had a vegetable stir fry (courgettes, baby corn, pak choi, red onions, carrots etc) with brown rice and sweet and sour sauce. Very nice it was too.
Sounds very nice, except for.. there's no meat in it!
Could do with some chicken there, but that's just me talking, me turning vegetarian would be like the ultimate punishment.. -
Anyone hear the news already, that it's probably not going to be in a lot of cinemas due to problem with cinemas and Disney, that they want to release it on dvd in June already.. and the cinemas are not happy with that since there's usually supposed to be 4 months between DVD and cinema release..
This is the UK one, but it goes for Holland too, and guess international..
Weird.

Boerenkool with speklappen. What the hell's that in English?
Okay, again wikipedia helps.. it's called kale or borecole in english. That's just weird. And the meat, well sort of thick bacon strips, before they're salted etc.. just porc or something.
Dutch food.

He wrote a very good sci-fi series called The Dark Tower
Science fiction? Aren't they more like fantasy? Honestly, I have only read the first three or something so far, but, but.. they felt more like a sort of fantasy for me. Not classic fantasy, but why would you call it sci-fi? Do the later books turn towards sci-fi more? Hmm.
Okay, from wikipedia:
Guess we were both right hee hee.. though seriously, fantasy fiction and science fantasy?The Dark Tower is a series of seven books written by American author Stephen King between 1970 and 2004. The series incorporates themes from multiple genres, including fantasy fiction, science fantasy, horror and western elements.

Read two hundred pages of Swallowing Darkness by Laurell Hamilton today, finished the book, and have to say I liked it. Not so repetitive and seriously, she just had sex once in this book.
Good thing really, leaves more room for plot. Also started Robert Jordan's Eye of the World finally, just a few pages though.

I don't scare easily.. films with blood and gore are not scary to me, Saw I could watch easily. It didn't scare me, I thought them disturbing though, and didn't watch Hostel, don't need to see a film about people torturing people, it's sick.
Serial killers, cannibals, whatever doesn't really scare me.. any film that would scare me would have to have ghosts in it. The Ring, even the American one, if I get totally into it, will scare me a little when watching it, but leave me having to turn on lights whenever I walk around the house at night. And immediately hopping into bed when I turn them off.
White Noise can be scary when you're watching it focussed, and when you start thinking about it.. I mean don't really believe in ghosts, and E.V.P. really not, but still.
I even got scared after watching Dragonfly, where he
finds all those signs of his wife in his house, like just having walked out of the room, then coming back and something being there.
Guess for me it's the fear of things unseen.. my imagination is worse than anything they can show me on screen.
Oh I love the Exorcist and the Descent, nothing in them scares me.
-
Sorry, no King book has ever scared me. However, if I had to recommend two, it's the Stand (adore it) and The Talisman.. with Peter Straub. Neither are scary, but they're just so epic, and the Talisman deals with a sorta alternate universe, really my thing.
-
Um.. just a newbie myself but couldn't you have better posted this in the Stephen King thread? Think one of the mods/admins will move this at one point tho..
But I have only read the first part of the book.. don't know if it's the case in other countries too but here, when it first came out it was as a series of thin books, think there were like 6. I bought the first one at the time, liked it but well, not much money at the time so didn't read the rest yet. I have seen the film so many times (was one of dad's favourites) that it's putting me off reading the book really.. it might be a bit different but feel like I have read the book at least ten times already..
-
Honestly, whatever I am in the mood for atm becomes my next book.. I can try to pick up a book I have been meaning to read for a while, but when I am not in the mood for it, I tend to read some pages and have no idea what I have just read.. and then put it aside and go to the book that draws me most at that moment.

^No you don't, Data is just funny. Really, he is. Everyone loves Data. Though..
not as much as Tasha Yar..
-
Haha, nice idea, for my birthyear, 1982, there is Jean Auel on the list. Valley of the Horses, have already read that one. Also, there's Roger Zelazny on there and twice Stephen King. But honestly.. I don't really do well with reading challenges.. usually I just read what I want despite what it is.

i would love to see the vampire diarys by l j smith in either a movie or tv series. i think there were like seven books so prob a film would be best. i have thought about writing a manu script for it but thought it was to much effert.
They are already a series, didn't you know? Don't watch it, nor have I read the books, but I knew it as series:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampire_Diaries_%28TV_series%29
I'd like to see the Old Kingdom trilogy by Garth Nix as a trilogy of films.. they would be less of children's films than books, because, well, they deal with the shambling dead.
But I'd like to see how they make the realm of Death. the Nine Precincts.. -
Hee hee, yeah I know what you mean, horror films for dreams. Though that's maybe why those dreams don't scare me.. since horror films about blood and gore don't scare me. Throw in all the blood and gore you want, I might go "ew"
but I don't get scared by that. Never really have, and since I started studying Medical Biology even less.. we had to study animal anatomy, which means cutting into dead animals.. and I watched a human autopsy too for my studies. Plus in my internship I operated on rats. So yeah, blood and such doesn't really disturb me, not even when they're flying round hee hee (which wasn't the case at my studies). Am sure there's a film or book out there that would be the exception to the rule, but generally, no. I scare easier when it comes to ghost stories.. or well, films then. Books, even about ghosts, never really scare me. But a scary horror film about ghosts can leave me not able to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night without turning on all the lights.
Silly really, since I don't really believe in ghosts. -
I imagine reading the other day that apparently there has been talk of making a proper sequel to Interview - and that is something I'd love to see done, and done well.
Ditto. Interview with the Vampire was okay (not that good, even though it's one of my fav films, but why all the changes I'll never understand) so would be nice to see some more of the Vampire Chronicles made into decent films.. with not so known actors please, someone who actually resembles Lestat now too?

Tortilla-ish wraps with chicken, spicy sauce and thai veggies mix (cabbage, jalapenos, onion, green peppers, and I don't even know what else). Yum.
-
I have to agree with Nollaig, I never get that scared by books. Ever. Even when I was a kid I only can remember getting scared once, think it was by a Dean Koontz book, I was like.. 9?
But since then, nope. I can read the most gross, bloody, disturbing books and sometimes I do dream about them.. but it doesn't scare me. I have had dreams like Nicola described, bloody and supposed to be scary, but they don't scare me if that makes any sense. Sometimes I find it fascinating to have dreams like that, when you wake up you really have to think about them then..
-
^Daybreakers's good, I've seen it, it's a nice film, though not as good as I expected it to be.. but then again I have that with a lot of films I look forward to. But yeah, I will definitely be watching that one again, which in my book (hee hee) makes it a good film.
-
Just watched the trailer for Season of the Witch, looks good, even though usually I'm a little disappointed in Nicholas Cage films.
Hubble 3D, wow.. love astronomy, and this seems amazing, too bad the nearest IMAX theatre is quite a long way away.
-
^I agree on that one, Laurell Hamilton does that, even in one book she often uses the same description for the same person twice or more, exactly the same phrasing. And from book to book, the words she uses to do that hardly ever change.. it's okay when you read the books a long time apart, but when you read one after the other it gets SO annoying.
Scariest film you have seen?

Oh I agree with you on The Hole, always get amazed at the level of obsession that girl shows, Thora Birch.. and how pretty normal teens can go to that in such a short time. Plus the claustrophobia doesn't help either.
However it seem sjust about the only film in which I can stomach Keira Knightley.
