When I was a kid, she scared me shitless.

[Drunken Irishman]

And I didn't scare easily.











I HATED THAT SCENE!

[China_cat]

1. Looks a bit weird

but I have absolutely no idea what it's from.

[calico1]

5. I believe it is from "Pet Sematary"

I was already in my 30's when I saw it and I found the scene scary and disturbing.

:scared:

[ashling]

9. No offense, but

why would you even go see something like that?

[calico1]

16. Because I like Stephen King.

Is that okay?

:shrug:

[Drunken Irishman]

20. I love Stephen King as well calico! :)

[ashling]

21. That's fine

I'm seriously trying to understand why someone would want to be "disturbed". I mean, Stephen King's stuff is disturbing.

[Drunken Irishman]

28. Some people like to be disturbed and freaked out.

That's why horror movies are so popular. :)

[Rhythm]

30. There is a certain adrenaline that comes with being scared

It's a way of getting the rush of the 'fight or flight' instinct, but without being in any real danger.

[Rhythm]

26. i don't know about anyone else, but...

Pet Sematary was my favorite of Stephen King's books...
And possibly the only adaptation that i thought was good.

[China_cat]

12. Never saw it.

Read the book, was not interested in the film.

2. Oh, I thought this might be a Hillary Clinton thread.

:evilgrin:

[x-g.o.p.er]

3. ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

On edit: If I had a say in nominating DUzy awards, I'd nominate that response.

But you're getting a cleaning bill for my keyboard--there's coffee all over it. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

4. Hey, I was 1 and a half when Clintons were inaugurated, and 9 and a half with Coronation I of GWB.

My entire youth was set to the background of the Clintons. I like Hillary well enough, but I'm sure some RW kids, at least, of the same age had nightmares.

:D

[badgerpup]

24. But...you DO have a say!

Just PM JeffR and give him the linky to the thread!

I won't do it...it's YOUR thunder. Ain't gonna steal it. :pals:

[Sultana]

34. Lol, I thought the same thing until I saw the pics

:D

[theredpen]

6. That was actually a he

Actor Andrew Hubastek was chosen to play Zelda because they couldn't find a woman thin enough (in Hollywood!)

[calico1]

7. Interesting!

I never knew that.

[Debi]

8. That movie scared the crap out of me! n/t

[ashling]

10. Why

would you go see something like that?

[Debi]

11. Because I was a big Stephen King fan

and then his books/movies just started scaring the crap out of me. Thanks to IT I'm still scared of clowns and (somewhat) spiders!

Now, books like Eye of the Dragon or Hearts over Atlantis, those I like.

[China_cat]

13. You'll like his latest...Duma Key...then.

[Debi]

14. Thanks, I've really shied away from him, but I'll try it

:thumbsup:

[calico1]

17. Stephen King isn't all horror.

"The Green Mile" and "Shawshank Redemption" are also his works.

He is definitely an odd, eccentric type of guy. But I guess you have to be to come up with some of the stories he comes up with.

[Debi]

18. I've read both and seen both movies - and you are correct

I started the Dark Tower series as well.

His horror books/movies just got to me after a while.

[ashling]

22. you said that it scared the crap out of you

I was just wondering if you chose to watch his stuff rather than use exlax
:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

15. I just watched that again the other day.

The little boy at the end was both adorable and freaky. "No fair!" after his Dad gives him the shot in the neck.

:scared:

19. As a little girl, this one scare the bejeebers out of me:

The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh, which was a Disney show, of all things. Here's the theme song that always terrified me:

23. Never saw the movie but the book was creepy as hell!

Even the CAT was creepy.

King manages to creep me out with ordinarily things, and that is one reason I have always enjoyed him. I was reading some other King novel about a year ago that had a plot line revolving around cell phones. While I was reading it my cell phone rang and I was not at all sure I wanted to answer it.

An even better example, however, is when I was reading The Stand and everyone in the book was dying off with this super flu bug (the first third of the novel, btw!) Anyhow, this flu bug started out with cold type symptoms but just got worse and worse until it killed the victim. King went into detail about how it spread by incidental contact between people (like on paper money or just talking to a sick person.)

As I was reading that part of the book, I was at the grocery store in the checkout lane and some woman turned around and SNEEZED on me. I just about ran out of the store screaming.

27. My grandma tried reading The Stand, but couldn't, it freaked her out too much.

I read it in HS, it was a great book. IT is one that gives me the creeps more than anything.

I too liked Cell, I read that on summer vacation a couple years ago.

[Rhythm]

25. I just KNEW before i clicked it that it was going to be "Rachel"

I was an adult when i saw Pet Semetary, and that even freaked ME out.

[Drunken Irishman]

29. I'm glad I am not the only one.

[Rhythm]

31. Far from it... most of the people i know who saw it

said the same thing.

And i feel dumb right now... the dead sister was Zelda... Gage's mom was Rachel. *L*
*hit's self with the 'duh' stick*

[Drunken Irishman]

32. I just thought you were talking about the way she'd call for Rachel.

That was disturbing as well!

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. What the fuck is that? When I was a kid, the wicked witch of the west...

Margaret Hamilton scared the bejeesus out of me.
