The Shining is an amazing movie, but I never thought it was scary. I've got friends (mostly male) who were extremely unnerved by it and genuinely scared. It just didn't do anything for me in that way. Steven King's IT and Pet Semetary genuinely scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, and I saw them all at around

I didn't scroll all the way through the comments, but my scariest opening scene is the original Hellraiser. Seeing the guy get ripped to pieces was pretty disturbing. Also, Steven King's IT, showing Georgie's death was enough to make me hate Fur Elise for a long time.

"Back to Black" -Amy Winehouse
"The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid" - The Decemberists (mostly it's the parts with Shara Nova, holy shit she gives me the tingles)
"Ghosts" - V V Brown

That was one of the two telemovies, "Is it fall yet?". The one where Daria works at Mr. O'Neil's summer camp, and Quinn gets tutoring. And *pushes up glasses* it was a bisexual named Alison who hits on Jane after befriending her. Jane is freaked out because Alison is pretty pushy and insists that she never hits on

I'm just getting in to Steven Universe (I'm at episode 20). I just read that essay, but I don't really understand why you think the guy is a prick from that essay. Admittedly, I read it pretty fast, but what was it that bothered you about it?

The Simpsons season 8 (1996-1997) has some of my most oft-quoted lines.

It was irksome to me that he talked about every member of The Smashing Pumpkins BUT D'arcy Wretzky.

Didn't want to look through the comments, but Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" in Dr. Strangelove. It has to have been mentioned already.

She wrote that song for the movie, so I think it's disqualified based on the prompt. *pushes glasses back up*

…which is funny, because the Disqus comments are anonymous, whereas the Facebook ones are mostly non-anonymous. They must be so insulated in a social bubble that they think it's a completely normal thing to think and say.

I'm trying to argue with that, but I just can't. And I love Christina Ricci.

I don't think its been said yet, so: Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams. Nobody else, ever, live action or animated.

Oh, we're going to finish it, but… we had been torrenting it as each episode came out because we don't have cable, so now we're just waiting for the last season to get to Netflix.

LOST GIRL! When they killed off Hale, and then killed off Kenzi. Kenzi was hands-down the best character on the show. The Kenzi-Bo relationship is one of my all time favorite representations of female friendship, and the Hale-Dyson bromance was also great, not to mention the Kenzi-Hale relationship that build

Ooooh, Anna Paquin! Or Jena Malone.

Jerome Morrow/Vincent and Eugene Morrow from GATTACA. Uma Thurman is elegant in her role, but the chemistry between Ethan Hawke and Jude Law is undeniable.

Then it looks like my work here is done.

I always found that line to be pretty creepy as well. But you just reminded me of a banal song lyric that terrified me as a kid from California Dreamin'. "All the leaves are brown… and the sky is grey… you know the *creature* likes the cold…" Apparently the lyric is "you know the PREACHER likes the cold". But 4

Watching himself sleep, of course. With a knife, menacingly poised.

Mine was also "IT"-related: I didn't fear clowns so much as basic plumbing. It all makes noise, you see, and when the noise is too loud, SOMETHING MIGHT BE CREEPING UP BEHIND YOU WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT AND KILL YOU and you wouldn't even hear it. I went through months of never flushing the toilet because I was too
