I personally thought that “Suffer the little children” was one of the creepiest. It had a very realistic sense of grudge a person might hold against their superiors: teachers/bosses and would wish only if they can scare the hell out of that person or teach him a lesson.

In turn it also plays on the mind of the person who is making his subordinates suffer…plays on the sense of guilt a mean superior definitly has inside his mind.

Can be made into a spooky real spooky flick if not already.

Dolan’s Cadillac was probably the best but the Moving Finger scared the bejeezus out of me, and I don’t get scared much anymore.
