Want a good scare?

[zimon66]

Being Miss Nice Person, I'm linking to io9's post INSTEAD of directly to said scare. Read it and decide for yourself to further click or not.

MUAHAHAHA.

Feel free to share it with others. Feel free to hide under the bed. Feel free to blame io9 and not me for the nightmares.


EDIT: I'm in the habit of keeping my speakers "OFF". On watching a second time (with sound "ON"), it's even creepier than the first viewing.

Thank the gods I didn't watch after dark. Still light out, lucky me.

No Script killed it for me the first time, so I was sitting there saying "I don't get it." Then I allowed scripts, and I got it. It definitely gave me a start. But already it wasn't as much of a surprise, so I didn't scream.

It's much better than the time my friend sent me that car commercial with a ghostly happening hidden in it.

Yeah, those earlier 2000 "spook popping out without warning" gifs. I HATED most them. Jumping out of chair into ceiling thanks to loud noise and extreme close-up - not my idea of a good time.

The particular one I saw was funny in a way because it was a dude in a lousy fursuit. If I had known he was showing up it would have been humor.

But the whole "sit there and stare intently at the screen and the suddenly BOO!" was too much for me.

The best out of the bunch were 1) quiet and 2) didn't come flying out of the screen. These had some effort put into to them instead of a cheap shot scare that anybody could do.

I had a one of a cluttered room. Watched for several minutes, nothing happening - all of a sudden a ghost zips thru the scene. No noise, no jumping at the viewer, damn spooky and very cool.

Yes, they were everywhere at one time, and they did kind of lose their appeal at the 100th or so variation...

Thank the gods silly memes are in vogue now.

Very, very cool, it DID give me a scare, but I managed not to scream!!

Kind of Junji Ito flavored, huh?

Ha ha, I watched it after dark. After watching some really bad hentai (tentacle porn) not much the Japanese can do scares me anymore.

Bad news: Korea :P

They're becoming a force to reckon with in horror.

[elvenjewel2012.livejournal.com]

Ah, OK. My best friend is half-Korean. I can't remember if she was born there or here in the USA, but she's definitely all-American.

I admit; that made me jump! :)

Check out R-Point. The bits involving a radio are fabulously creepy.

Will have to look into that. In the meantime, here's an old Internet horror story: The Dionaea House (http://www.dionaea-house.com/). That scared ME.

[schquee.livejournal.com]

I squealed a bit. Wish I could understand the Korean!

[zimon66]

TADA!!!

I refuse!

Was going to comment with chicken sounds. But, I got a better plan for you: Ask hubby to watch it.
