It seemed like half the people they interviewed picked The Audition as one of the scariest. Though perhaps its plot of a crazy person torturing someone in the film industry hit too close to home.
Jayne: Well... I don't like the idea of someone hearin' what I'm thinkin'. Inara: No one likes the idea of hearing what you're thinking.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Matt, remind me--what exactly did he do for a living before he started auditioning women. Was it creative? I thought the film stuff was his friend.

EWWW!!! Now I'm envisioning the atrocities in AUDITION being done with paper cuts instead of how they were done in the movie. *shudder*

But quieter. The sound really killed me on The Audition, because I tried to look away, but it all just seemed worse.

Hmmm. Maybe a manila folder then. Slow, and I've heard the sound those make the few times I've cut myself on them.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Not reading the Audition stuff. But agreed that scariest movies series was well done.

Oops, sorry ita, I actually haven't seen the movie yet. Just snippets from that special and what I've read about it. I don't recall what the poor bastard did before setting up auditions and running afoul of Miss Adventure .
