    Excellent movie [​IMG]

    I read the novella The Mist when it came out in the Stephen King collection Skeleton Crew back in 85 and as a kid it scared the heck out of me.
    When the book was finally brought to the big screen in 2007 I wasn’t disappointed, Frank Darabont who also directed my all-time favorite movie
    The Shawshank Redemption came through again.

    Can’t wait for his screen adaptation of the Stephen King novella The Long Walk

    I remember Tremors freaked me out as a kid, so much so I remember refusing to go in the sand pit. Also we had stairs in our first place so watching nightmare on elm Street when they run up the stairs and it's like glue, lol.

    But the scariest shit ever on TV was the theme song to unsolved mysteries and that lurch fellas voice. That'd make me scared.

    I also read the Mist before the movie came out. I liked both but as usual the book draw me in more, probably because you have to visualize everything yourself.
    The lead role in the movie was played by a guy who I saw shortly before in the comedy serie Hung. Didn't help. But it was not that bad of a movie! Just enjoyed the story even better in bookform

    Flying faces from another dimension that will bite you. And yeah the main characters had to hide in a supermarket.

    I noticed a series on Netflix also called The Mist. I take it its a spin off/continuation of the movie? Like was done with Fargo for example

    Has it been that long since it came out?

    I didn't see it because I don't watch scary movies, lol

    The previews on t.v. looked pretty horrifying to me.

    Not sure if any really scared me. I'd say the scariest ones would be: Insidious, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Haunted (not to be confused with The Haunting), When A Stranger Calls, and Lights Out.

    No movie will ever scare me like Nightmare on Elm Street.I checked under my bed every night until I was 18 years old because of this damn movie

    The Shining is probably my favorite scary movie but I didn't find it particularly scary, just well made. Jack Nicholson was brilliant in it

    A more recent scary movie I liked was The Babadook but not because I thought it was scary. I just liked that it was a metaphor for the grieving process. It was a really sad movie

    I thought The Babadook was more a (perceived) manifestation of the lady's (I can't remember her name) declining mental state. She subconsciously wanted to kill her son so her life would be simpler and more stable, and so she could have a shot at a real life. This part of her subconscious thought was "The Babadook." Her solution? Keep "The Babadook" in the basement where she fed it and let it have it's own life. I liked that it was a horror movie without a supernatural theme, although it appears that way at first. Anyway, that's what I got out of it.

    Impossible to say. Every movie is scary for different reasons. The most scared I was from a movie was Friday the 13th. But that was as a 5 year old.
    Not so scary now.

    What kinda cued me to this was when she said she had written children's books...I thought, she was the one who wrote "The Babadook"...then she burns it and it reappears. It was her all along, although she didn't realize it.

    For me it's the original Alien. I remember watching that as a kid and afterword being afraid in the dark thinking Aliens might pop out from behind trees.

    Having worked in film production, they just make me laugh. I would even accept a dinner invitation from Anthony Hopkins. LOL.

    The most scarriest movie was "Carrie", at the end. When they visited Carrie's grave and suddenly her hand came out and tried to get them...

    Not since I was a kid has a movie actually scared me.... a pretty good one that I saw lately was "A Dark Song", an independent film you can stream. Also "The Witch"...a completely different take. I love movies that are truly different.
