So there is this Lady who hates scary movies. She hates them so much that she rents them and grabs me to watch them every now and then. She really really hates paranormal that seems to be based on true/actual events. She doesn’t like the suspenseful scary at all. So we watched the short ‘Lights Out’ on youtube, a fun lil 3 minute movie that she hated so much that she had to watch it again. (Watch it full screen in the dark with the volume a little bit up) What other short scary movies or just scary movies that are similar that we can watch over the web? ---

Also look up The Ring and The Grudge. I was happy to see ghost or otherwise paranormal movies until now. Now for any deniers: I have read both books as they were translated into English. I have seen both movies in their Japanese and American versions. I prefer the American version movies of both. ---

Nothing is going to top Lights Out but here are [10 top scary commercials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qNhkw_Ah4U) from Europe. I will never, ever eat Little Baby’s Ice Cream. Ever. Also, wtf is wrong with Playstation? ---

No, wait. [Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ). They made a [sequel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtkGtXtDlQA) and are trying to kickstart a series, but IMO the second isn’t as good. Of course, there’s [Marble Hornets](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmhfn3mgWUI), but that’s a series. If you do watch it, I recommend you follow along with the Wiki timeline [here](http://marblehornets.wikidot.com/) because there are supplementary videos from ToTheArk that the series kind of assumes you know about. There’s also the one with the [hand demons](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVfREVGcaY). ---

Whatever you do, don’t even think about watching _Amityville II: The Possession_. ---

I enjoyed [Bedfellows](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6flB0XvmTo) quite a bit, mostly because the creeper looks so happy to scare that poor woman.
