You did go a long way to get that rolleyes smilie in there didn't you?

Nah, the smiley extension in Firefox is really easy to use.

Not a very good list.

I would have thought The Ring would have made it in at least. I liked that one.

Blair scary? To me, yes

Yes. Yes I did. However, I'm willing to admit it might just be me. I already had a thing about the outdoors and camping and especially about being lost, so that movie really struck a chord in me.

I never camp, but being alone & lost spooks me. Blair did have me a touch spooked at time. Sadly I am very vunerable to motion sickness and this movie eventually put me in AGONY by the time the kids got to the house. [bad grafix on FPS games hurts me the same way ]

Read Sticks, the makers of Blair sure did.

And sadly even that one sucks. Tells you how truely bad the first one is.

Ultimately, at least the IMDb list is compounded by votes from a fairly large populace. Nevertheless, there are some on there I would have axed. Given how many genres some of those entries are allowed to sport, I would have thought The Sixth Sense might have also been eligible. That one spooked me a good number of times.
