I cast magic missile at it.
Inbred, possibly radioactive rednecks?
Or a Japanese boy in white makeup.
When I first saw this thread on the Cafe Society forum page, I read it as…
According to the movies, the scariest thing in the world is . . .
lissener.
I mean, I know he rubs some people the wrong way, but I wouldn’t go THAT far…
Um, that only happened in one movie (and its sequel). I think the theme here is cliches.
Don’t forget things that can cut you into pieces so cleanly and quickly that you won’t notice it until you fall apart, about ten seconds later
The scariest thing is the suspense of waiting for that thing which you haven’t seen yet.
So this one time I walked down these dark stairs into a subway station full of corn and when the subway pulled up all these Japanese clown dolls got off. And they were wearing hockey masks.
Mirrors.
Mirrors in cornfields are just doubly bad.
And corners.
When Drew Barrymore got killed at the start of one of the Screams, she was eating popcorn right? It’s found a way to get into our homes people!
Imagine putting on a pair of 3D glasses and looking around to see 1/2 the people in the tubestation are stalks of corn. With sharks for hands!!11! Not even tame sharks either!!11!
A kettle boiling with one of them whistles on the spout is scary, isn’t it.
He is becoming a cliche. I have seen him in four movies recently.
Ju-on
Grudge (American version of Ju-on)
Grudge 2
Pulse
How about a Japanese girl with white stuff on her face? Oh wait, wrong kind of movie…

OMG I almost just shit my pants.
A telephone ringing during a thunderstorm. . .
Although a police officer saying “We’ve traced the call! It’s coming from the cornfield!” doesn’t seem THAT scary.
Three of those four movies are “one movie (and its sequel).”
I thought it was being a person in a moderately dangerous job (such as e.g. cop) who is due to retire/get married/become a parent/switch to a safe job/attend their child’s wedding/etc.
Random hijack, cause it reminded me.
That “it’s coming from inside the house!” cliche doesn’t even make sense, does it? It originated before the days of cell phones, so how the hell is someone calling from inside the house? It’s not like you could use a phone in the bedroom to call a phone in the kitchen that used the same line/number.
Static. Mostly TV static (Poltergeist, The Ring), but anytime you pick up the phone or radio and it goes:
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Also children singing…LAA…LAAAAAAaaaaa LAAAA Laaaaa!!!
Around the time that scenario was first shown in a movie, a huge percentage of kids had their own seperate telephone line. You’d look in the phone book and there were quite a few “Children’s Telephone” numbers accompanying the family’s main one.
