Topic: Paranormal Activity

Has anyone else seen this movie? All I can say is that before tonight, I had never legitimately screamed like a girl out of fear...

Re: Paranormal Activity

I've heard about this!

I don't think its reached the UK yet. Isn't it the film that was made for like $10,000 and had a viral marketing campaign from Paramount?

Re: Paranormal Activity

The Blair Witch House Project...?

Re: Paranormal Activity

Yeah, I think its been called 'The new blair witch' in the media a lot

Re: Paranormal Activity

Yeah Greg, it was like $15,000, crazy low budget. It's getting much better reviews than the Blair Witch Project, and it doesn't make you want to hurl. And that's coming from someone who was lucky enough to inherit moderate motion sickness.

I had a hard time falling asleep last night, that's for sure. Some of those images, man...

It might as well have been! The end of the movie seriously made me scream and curl up in a ball, it was that bad. People have been known to leave the movie midway through because it's too scary.

I haven't seen The Exorcist in it's entirety, only bits and pieces...

Re: Paranormal Activity

I watched the original Haunting of Hill House, the Ring and the Exorcist in one weekend once.  MsTia is still creeped out by The Ring...oooh she was mad.

My brother said That creepyshit crawls outa the wood work, talks to Doc for one minute and runs off screaming.

What does he mean by that?

Anybody want to hear a true story?

Re: Paranormal Activity

For years I was a haunted soul, not just a drunken lunatic, but accompanied by unexplainable activity and happenstance.  I won't go into a full journal here, but spooky stuff.  Doors (and windows) swinging open and shut.  Bangings and carrying on all around me at witching hours.  At 3 AM the Demons come.

Once a guy pulled a gun on me and I looked at him with one eye and said "I am protected.  Buford will get you."  He went wall eyed and ran off screaming.  Whatever little chick I was with at the time said, "Who's Buford?"

"The ghost of all my warrior ancestors rolled into my unborn son" said I.  and the horn in the empty car in the alley next to us started to blow a rhythm.   She ran off, too.  "You are so wierd. "

Fast forward some years.  I'm sober.  I'm married.  I have grown children.  I called my oldest son Buford for years and never told him why.  It's because the spirits got quiet after he was born.  I wonder why.

With apologies for the off-topic diversion (though there are certainly elements of paranormal activity in most of BJJ's stories) big_smile

Re: Paranormal Activity

I'm not so big into horror flicks as it were so they tend not to feature with me. But I have a book which for some reason just fills me with a creeping dread when I read it (so don't read it dumb***!).

The film version of the book with Albert Finney was total drivel. However, I can honestly say that Whitley Strieber's 'Wolfen' has my imagination in overdrive. It's not a long book by any means but for some reason it as the dread builds it scares the wotsit out of me.

I'll have to read up on this film now just so I know to avoid it!

One of the scariest BOOKS I ever read was Bram Stoker's Dracula...the original.  My imagination ran away with me.

Re: Paranormal Activity

I never finished Bram Stoker's Dracula. I mean to though, after I finish The Hunt For Red October and American Psycho.

Re: Paranormal Activity

Scary???

How many of you have read 'Metamorphosis' by Kafka?

"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."

"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt."
