I find the bit in the toilet with Jack and O'Grady really unsettling, there's a real tangible nastiness to that conversation and it makes it all the worse when you realise there's only one person in the room.

I have no idea what anyone is talking about right now.

In any event, I always find the jump-cuts with the hacked up twins in the hallway unsettling.

strange part is if you describe the scene its NOTHING , if you see it, its disturbing- or "something" (dont really know what)

I know which one. That scene freaks me the f*ck out. Every. Single. Time.

It's not particularly scary, I think there's something primally wrong about it and it attacks the lizard parts of our brain. If ol' Stan had shot only one scene in his life and it was that one he'd still be in the top 10 of directors.

one scene that lasts for a few seconds in the shining still gives me shivers. anyone want to guess?

Big fan of Cusack too, but dunno, this one doesn't look like anything new.

The Shining to this day is one of the rare films that scare the absolute crap out of me. I've seen the fecker so many times now, but still gives me the hebe jebees...

As for THE THING trailer. Maybe they used a different approach in UK where Carpenter had an enormous following (almost Hitchcock-like by the time of THE THING) but I distinctly recall far less explicit THING trailers there.

The best by far - from a time when trailers repected the audience and enroused curiosity. As for the 2012 trailer it looks great but...
