My dad really freaked my brother and I out once, when we were really young.
We were out camping in the fall, as we often did, but our mother stayed at home this time. My dad was a pretty awesome storyteller, or at least he was for kids of our age then, and so he said he was going to tell us a scary story. A TRUE scary story. He asked if we knew why our mother didn't come camping with us... we didn't, and he said it was because of the escaped murderer. There was a convict that had escaped from the penitentiary a few miles away... he'd smuggled some utensils out of the kitchen and smelted them into an axe in the workshop, and hacked his way through a few guards and out the fence... and he was on the loose RIGHT NOW!
I don't recall if my brother bought this immediately, but I was a bit incredulous. "Hahaha, yeah right Dad," I remember saying... and then the patrol car came by with its lights flashing... The officer got out of the car and came over to us, asking if we were all right, and then he started informing us that there was an escaped convict on the loose around here, and that he was believed to be armed with a large ax. Okay, NOW we're freaking out, and after enjoying us freak out for a short while my father bursts out laughing and thanks his state patrol buddy for helping him pull one over on us.

This is the best/worst thing ever to do to your kids
I don't really care for horror movies but the thought of experiencing terrible things can be rather discomforting. I hate it more when they're true though.
Probably the "scariest" thing I've read lately was about the lady who basically got her face and jaw torn off by a chimp and lived.

It should be noted that he did not pull this sort of shit on us regularly.
I just can't believe they managed to convince people to blink while they were getting executed.
Like they're thinking about so much and then they're like "Oh right! The blinking!"
"This is for posterity, so be honest. How do you feel?"
I don't know what you're talking about
did they try to make people blink once their head was seperated from their body or something
Basically, a scientist told a dude to blink as many times as he could after the blade came down to see how long the head could live away from the body. The dude agreed because hey, why not?
Interesting article linked below on lucid decapitation. Couldn't stop thinking about how awful it must be for some time after reading this.

Congratulations, you have hereby prevented me from sleeping ever again.
Can't sleep, proletariats will behead me?
...YES. This needs to be on a T-shirt or something, man. Better than that stupid wacky Hot Topic shit. I like my humor to teach me things about history, thank you very much.

I keep hoping it's an April Fool's Day joke. I hate when people give her a platform to spill her nonsense.
I had to stop reading after this part. My god, she's stupid.
Many scientists believe we're simply diagnosing autism differently now - both overdiagnosing it in kids who don't have it and spotting it better in kids who do. That makes it look like the condition is on the rise when it's not.
All you have to do is find a schoolteacher or principal and ask them that question. They would say they've never seen so much ADHD, autism, OCD as in the past. I think we're overdiagnosing it by maybe 1%. Now you look around and there are five shadows - kids with disabilities - in every class.
To put it another way, she's basically saying that the guy asking the question is wrong, while missing the point that her own example proves the questioner right.
goddammit.

The deal with Signs was that Shyamalan added scary music and disturbing camera cuts when there wasn't anything disturbing at all. Watching that movie made me so paranoid when there was absolutely no reason to be afraid.

Signs was an awesome first half movie and a miserable shitbutt second half
Signs was an awesome first half movie and a miserable shitbutt second half
I maintain that Signs had some excellent direction and some seriously well executed moments
Shymalan just needs to stop writing his own stupid bullshit and start writing someone else's less stupid bullshit
Personally, I fucking love signs. I think kevin smith pointed out how the bit where you see the alien show up on the video tape is completely and totally taken stylistically from that famous fake video of bigfoot you always used to see on unsolved mysteries and shit like that. My favorite part of the movie, hands down.

It still lives on as being one of the scariest things I've seen in a movie (first time around, anyway)

Signs was great. You just have to stop thinking of it as a science fiction movie.

Oh Jesus that terrified me. I didn't even finish the movie, and that terrified me. I had to run panicking out of the theater when Mel Gibson's character went to explore that house where one of the aliens was trapped. I just couldn't take it.

I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

I loved how in the scene right before that M. Night's character is just sitting in the car talking to Mel Gibson, and to wrap up he's like, "Gotta go. By the way, I trapped one of the aliens in my pantry." And he turns to look at him and he's just got this dead-eyed, thousand-yard-stare.
