I didn't say it was. I haven't seen Ringu, so I don't have an opinion on which is scarier, but I imagine that whichever you see first is bound to feel the scarier of the two.


Nah, there's plenty...

Re: MoFo Top 100 Horror Movies: The List

Can't complain, just happy The Thing was not only so high, but actually finished within shouting distance of the top spot.

I've just never found The Shining scary, for whatever reason, and as I...

I think The Shining wins, but I'm not positive. I hope I'm wrong.

An example is not the same thing as an argument, though. Detailing your personal standard is not the same as defending it. Examples also don't explain where you draw the line between the two.

Re: MoFo Top 100 Horror Movies: The List

Why can't there be more than one way to horrify someone? :confused:

Re: MoFo Top 100 Horror Movies: The List

That doesn't seem odd to me. :shrug: Some of my favorites I've seen 20 times, but not for years now. Others I watch every so often. No real rule either way, at least for me.
