My friends and I just watched the Haunting last night (and Charade, which I love). I'm curious about the book now. I enjoyed the movie and felt a tiny bit creeped out by it, so it was a good Halloween movie. But I feel like it was missing some more background information and elaboration that could have made it better. One of my friends doesn't like scary movies but she enjoyed this, so it was really nice that everyone liked it.

The last movie that really really really (really) scared me was The Exorcism of Emily Rose, yet the Exorcist did nothing for me. Go figure. I had nightmares for weeks and kept waking up at 3 am and then freaking out that the demons were coming for me. Just the thought of it now gives me the creeps. And I know some people who didn't think it was scary at all.

I think scary movies are very personal things.
