What scared you the most?

Alfred Hitchcock was the absolute best in suspense filming. The methods he pioneered in the way shots are done and everything is seen in most films and shows today.
His use of one long take moving in (or away) from the subject was groundbreaking. Look at how well it was used in LOTR when they were fleeing over the bridge from the Balrog.
I can't remember specific movies but I do remember scenes. One where the camera moved towards the house, to the window, in the window, through the room, down the stairs and to the main scene. all done in one shot. When done correctly, it really does add to the visual story so much better than a series of broken up shots.
The big thing about suspense is keeping it going, the more it builds the bigger the shock. If the scene stops for any reason, even for a second, all that suspense is lost or at least lessened.

M.Night is a creative director as well. I have always admired how every film has been so different from the others and they have been mostly successful as well.
I REALLY liked the one with the 'woman' in the pool hunted by the hellhound. Pure fantasy with great characters and an involved story. A mythology even. With some work it would probably make a good novel and I usually can't stand novels made from films.

When I was a kid a read heaps of Goosebumps books. The one where the girl has a haunted mask, it's in my room somewhere, there was a part in that which scared me so badly I threw the book across the room, haha!

Also, there's a camp-fire ghost story in Dark Mountain that creeped me out.

Just like scary books and stuff but my biggest fear, is fear its self

I can't recall any books that have actually scared me. Maybe when I was younger, but I don't know. Movies are more scary to me, but the most scary piece of media to me are video games just because I am the one controlling the character and am making the choices.
