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.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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.

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.

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.

quick poll: what's the scariest ghost movie you ever saw?
Poltergeist, The Haunting of Hill House (the original version, thankyouverymuch), or The Changeling. Scary enough that I have no urge to watch any of them, ever again.
We saw Wolfman last night. It was wonderful. Dear Hollywood, please make more atmospheric, "Victorian", Gothic with a capital G and ruined churches lit by torches, sorts of horror movies. Please. The next one should, ideally, have vampires.

what's the scariest ghost movie you ever saw?
Carnival of Souls.
Great. Now I can't stop thinking of Herk Harvey's creepy face floating behind the second story window. So much for going to sleep.

The Haunting of Hill House
That's the Shirley Jackson novel that was made into the movie The Haunting, right? I want to make sure you don't mean The Haunting at Hell House.
