No kidding. I read that book at night and was almost afraid to turn out the light. I kept hearing stuff out in the hall.
I thought the first "Halloween" movie was pretty scary — at least the first time I saw it.
My interest in "The Ring" has been piqued. I'll have to rent the DVD.
The Ring was the first movie in a long time to scare me. Although I still think the original "Night of the Living Dead" and "Last House of the Left" are just plain disturbing.
