Isn't that call "hanging a lantern on it"?
Pointing out a plot incongruity within the plot?
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not a lantern--a lampshade.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The Frighteners!
I kid, although...
The Others, maybe? I'm ruling out anything that was gory and gross and disturbing.

yeah The Others definitely wigged me out. I can't decide if it was scarier than The 6th Sense because I never saw the latter on the big screen.

I always liked Lady in White. It wasn't overly scary, but Lukas Haas did a good job portraying terror, and the scene with the little girl ghost reliving her assault and death was horrific in its own way.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Lady in White is very good.
I vote for the original version of The Haunting, though.

I never saw that one either. Cool! Online polls keep putting The Shining at #1 but I didn't think it was that scary, especially compared to the book.
We just watched the director's cut of 1408. I'd only seen the last 45 minutes of the theatrical release and remembered it as being quite scary but I think it wasn't that great on rewatch and I really disliked what turns out to be the original ending.
So now we're trying to really frighten ourselves.
