"Blair Witch Project"

I've always seen Jack Nicholson as a funny actor so I never really found that movie scary. :lol

Also, it came out before my time so I guess the whole "it being scary" gig was watered down for me.

We all have a different scare factor then...lol cause the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre was hilarious to me cause the group went one by one into the same freakin house without knocking. And for some reason, people still believe the Texas Chainsaw Massacre to be a true story. :lol

@Jack...actually that was a pretty good movie. Didn't like the kid as an actor but they didn't really have a choice. :lol

Well they needed a quirky looking kid to play that role. And he was very quirky looking, in my opinion.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It was a good movie in it's own right. The book is just leaps and bounds better than the movie. And if they adapted the book to the movie faithfully, it would have been even better. I just failed to establish the baseline when I said that it would have been awesome if it followed the book.

its based on the story of Ed gein, a farmer in (iowa, i believe) who worshipped his mother, and after she died, he kept her body around and talked to it. when the police searched his house, they found a womans face in a paper bag, a woman hanging upside down in his barn, gutted like a deer, a human heart in a saucepan on the stove, human skin lampshades, and a whole "woman suit" made of woman parts, from various womens graves he had robbed. these crimes also spawned the stories of "phsyco" and the "silence of the lambs" series

Yea, Ed Gein did all that in Wisconsin {So Iowa was close enough, lol}. I actually read a book about Ed Gein when I was younger for school. Another thing he did Strubes was make soup bowls out of skulls, and he also cut off a womans chest area and wore it, like "dressing up". Creepy stuff man :o

creepy ******* >:( >:( >:(
 
I'm too much of a wimp to watch horror movies really.  I remember seeing previes for the BWP 1 when I was a kid, and even those freaked me out (though they sparked some curiosity due to the lack of explaining what the movie actually was).

I did watch Poltergeist for school, and found it too be enjoyable.  They did try too hard at one point though, you could practically see that one special effect they did was just paper and spotlights.

I do remmber watching one of the later Nightmare on Elm Street's with a friend (was it #6?).  We collpased of laughter with the video game scene.

Yep, Ed Gein. Just an old man you never thought would do anything crazy. All he used was a standard handgun. Kinda weird how the death he caused created almost every horror movie (in some way shape or form) we see today.

I was dissapointed with IT, mainly because it deviated from the book. But then again just about every movie adaptation of a Stephen King book deviated. The Shining would have been awesome if it had been just like the book.

I saw like five minutes of the second Blair Witch Project movie. The first five minuted was just dripping with suckness. I turned it off. The first one was okay. Wasn't scary, but entertaining.

Lol I've said this lots of times, but I don't see how they could of included everything in the movie seeing as the book was over 1000 pages long. They could of made it a tv miniseries or something, but I think they did a good enough job with what they had (well, the first half of the movie and the ending at least).

True. But most of the writing was background details. Maybe it would have been too hard by 70s standards to safely blow up a hotel using a runaway boiler in the basement, so it was easier to just freeze a guy in a snow-covered maze. :lol

no, actually he robbed graves, and the only woman he did kill, he beat her to death with a cash register.

He did shoot one lady though. He went into a hardware store and he asked to see the .22 rifle that was on the wall. When the lady handed it to him he loaded it with a bullet he had brought in and shot her in the back of the head. But yea, he mostly robbed graves to get his necrophilia fix :P

The one victim that was actually identifiable when police checked the house was shot.
