MY question of this time is…what perhaps is the scariest stories with pictures as proof? Would it be Bloody Mary? Or something otherwise unknownest to us?
For me would probably be The Blair Witch…pictures can be found at www.blairwitch.com (i think)
I am a little unclear as to what you are after.
What happend in the nazi camps was very scary. The last pictures of Jack the Rippers victim. Scary to think that we can and do these things to each other.
Its scary that there are those that think having sex with kids is great. Very scary.
The movies that I think are the scarriest are : The haunting, The hills have eyes, The Exorsist, Alien, Dawn on the dead and Jaws, Physco.
Books Communiun by Whitley Streiber h is the only book that ever scaried me.
My spelling scary.
My husband says reading Pet Cemitary is scary. He can not read it. Red Dragon also made his list.
I love the stuff. I read and watch a lot of it.
I said story not movie or novel.
Novels and movies can tell stories, you know.
But then you named a movie as your example.
What he’s asking is, “Do you mean fiction or non-fiction?” A story and a movie and a novel are all fiction. Do you want us to name scary fictional stories, or do you mean real-life stories like the Nazis and the Holocaust, and serial murders and stuff like that?
Or do you mean “story” as in “ghost story”? Blair Witch Project is a ghost “story”, although it’s a movie. All those other movies that he named are “stories”, too, although they’re also movies.
We don’t understand what you’re getting at.
And, er, you do understand that the whole story of the Blair Witch was just made up for the movie? There is no real “Blair Witch Legend”.

“Apocryphal” means “fake”.
“Putative” means “assumed to exist”.
The story of Al Fish. That guy gave me nightmares.
Um no offense Duck Duck Goose but I know what those words mean. And thanks for your input. So Splanky who or what is Al Fish?
It helps to Google a bit to keep up with the refs, fauxpas.
Moderator’s Note: What is scary to one person will make another person giggle. That being the case, this question has no factual answer and is inherently a matter of opinion.
Did you hear the one about the Moderator who moved the thread from General Questions to In My Humble Opinion…?
Later, they looked, and there was a bloody HOOK stuck in the side of the thread! :eek:
Wow thanks MEBuckner, i Think?
That Blair Witch Legend thing is getting pretty tiresome. I live in Maryland (in fact about 15 miles from the abandoned house where they shot the ending at…film geeks note, that house is roughly 50-60 miles from the woods where the rest of the movie was shot) and when the movie came out, a lot of people on net boards were bugging me for “stories” about the legend. Hey, never heard about the damn thing until the movie! (Which I liked, by the way; I’m just puzzled that people thought it was real.)
Best scary “urban legend” story has to be the AIDS Terrorist.
A guy picks up a girl at a bar, hits it off, and winds up screwing her in a hotel room. He then falls asleep.
Waking up the next day, he finds the girl is gone. Oh well! But going to the bathroom for his morning piss, he finds the following scrawled on the mirror in lipstick:
WELCOME TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF AIDS
I always thought that was terrifying, because I can easily imagine some mentally unbalanced, angry person out there would get off on doing such a thing.
Why do things always have to be “scrawled” on mirrors, anyway? Why can’t it ever be “When she went into the bathroom, she saw, neatly printed in easy-to-read block letters, ‘Aren’t you glad you didn’t turn on the lights?’”
Crime Library has a good article on Albert Fish. His practices were so vile he turned me off of serial killers for good. What did he do? Basicallly, he kidnapped and ate children. ugh.
Or the story of Peter Kurten, who (I think) was the inspiration for Fritz Lang’s “M.”
But, IMO, possibly the most chilling thing I’ve ever seen was JFK’s speech during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Well, I think a woman (or man for that matter) who deliberately went about infecting people with AIDS would probably have definate signs of rage and inner turmoil that would be easily detected in her/his handwriting. Hence, scrawling. 
YOU THINK?! That’s it, you are getting pitted; and don’t you ever think again!
Smiley, it was a joke.
Was Dawn on the Dead the x-rated version?
