Speaking of having the crap scared out of you though, I just finished reading "The Shining" again recently. I hadn't read it in years and it is, by far, the scariest story I've ever read.

I was too scared to even get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. The book is far more detailed and scary than the movie, which Stephen King didn't like in the first place. He thought they botched the whole thing (which they did if you read the book) and that Jack Nicholson played Jack Torrance all wrong from the beginning, which he did.

Having said that, the moive is STILL scary anyway, and I think it's mostly because of the music actually.

But damn, that book. It's so much more detailed with a heavy influence on Jack and Wendy's marriage and Danny's "friend" Tony, and the history of the Overlook itself. The whole build-up even to the half-way point of the book is just creepy as hell.

You breifly see a guy standing in the corner facing the wall. That camera falls and you hear a thud. The end.

early in the movie, you hear a story about how the mysterious witch would kidnap children, keep them in a house, and mutilate one while making another stand in the corner and face away to not see what is happening.

At the of the movie, you go down into the cellar, and you see the friend standing motionless faced away in the corner.... you realize in a split second you are about to be slowly mutilated by the witch.

Interesting. But how could the witch MAKE that guy just stand there in the corner? Couldn't he overpower her?

You can't 'over-power' the monster and escape in a horror movie!

The reason he couldn't overpower her is becasue she's a witch! She was performing all kinds of voodoo on those poor kids throughout the movie like making them walk in circles in the woods until they found her spooky-ass house.

Hmmm....I still don't buy it. It doesn't look like a witch house. It should look like this:

I vote we have an org invasion in the woods and show Val how it COULD be done.

Oh I'd "win" that one. I'm good in the woods.



It's just my own house that I can never seem to find. Too much Wild Turkey maybe.

We should plan on having an Org invasion at the hotel where Stephen King wrote the Shining.

Should we plan it for the STANLEY HOTEL, where he wrote it or TIMEBERLINE LODGE where they used it for filming the movie. The STANLEY HOTEL looks amazing.

Did you see both episodes of Ghost Hunters that they did at the Stanley Hotel? They had alot of experiences there. The one night, the guy was staying in one of the rooms, and the closet door opened up all by itself, then closed and hinged itself. Also, a glass on his nightstand shattered. They caught the door opening and closing on tape.

In another room there, as they were sitting at a table, something slammed down on the table real hard while they were taping.
