re: Scariest movie?

Blair Witch hit me differently when it came out, because a lot of people at the time believed it was real. I remember going to the movies a few months before it came out, and they were handing out Missing Persons flyers featuring the kids in the movie. There was also a documentary on the Discovery or History channel. They did a really good job promoting the movie and making people think it was a true story. Some parts did give me the boo-boo-jeebies, mainly when their tent started shaking and you could hear what sounded like little kids laughing, if that happened to me IRL I woul've shat on myself. And then when Heather saw something and her reaction to it was crazy. Then the little cloth with the teeth and blood in it, and when you could hear Josh moaning and they couldn't find him. What made it even more realistic was that they didn't tell the actors what was going to happen; they just put them out there all night and then did things and caught their true reactions. Just wish they would've shown the Blair Witch. Apparently she looks like this...

I went through the Jaws phase too where I wouldn't get in a swimming pool. If I did, I was in the shallow end with my back against a wall. My eyes never left the water; I was so sure a shark was going to just swim up out of the blue and get me. Thank God that's over because I love to swim!
