Stuff like Jacob's Ladder, Vanilla Sky, Sixth Sense, The Village, etc.

To be honest, I've never liked Shyamalan. The method acting just gets to be too painful. And the movies are downright predictable.

For example, I'm sitting through The Village, when I turn to my sister and say, "So how do they keep the airplanes from flying over?" She asked if I had read any spoilers. I hadn't.

That being said, Unbreakable WOULD have been a great movie if it were not for the method acting.

Ask and ye shall receive- The Howling (the first one) is on AMC right now, flipped to check the channel just as the opening credits were starting.

My favorite kind has to be the asian movies like the original Ring movies and that kind.. Ive kinda outgrown the blood and gore movies i used to love. The Blair Witch Project was also great in my mind as it allows the mind to wonder and you have to imgaine what is there, and not just be shown something. The mind can imagine far worse things than the movie can ever do.

Oh...If it has little scary girls it im hooked

It was good, but the werewolf at the end was disappointing, too much like Lon Chaney Jr.s bipedal dog and unlike the rest of the creatures in the movie. Good transformation on Robert Picardo though.

If you like werewolf movies then you have to check out Dog Soldiers.

Ya I remember that one Treize. Guys sat in his dark house in front of tube drinking bad beer and mutated into a fungas or something.

I like King, but the formula does get old if you read too many back to back. Best to break up reading with different stuff. King tends to over develop his characters and the story comes up short towards the end.

The Thing (kurt remake) is one of my fav movies and i reckon a real underrated classic, but the one that still genuinely freaks me out is The Evil Dead **shivers**

recommended viewing technique: turn off all appliances in the house for at least 30mins apart from one lamp. kill lamp, start dvd.

Try watching the original Nosferatu (the Murnau version, with Max Schreck) at about 1am with no lights on, phone turned off, and alone (no distractions). Still creeps me out.
