Rama's Screen

Make no mistake, THE EXORCIST is still the scariest movie of all time. Paranormal Activity comes close but doesn’t surpass the 1973 classic. It was based on a novel by author William Peter Blatty who also wrote the screenplay, directed by Oscar winning filmmaker William Friedkin, the scarefest itself was nominated for Best Picture believe it or not.

I can’t wait to finally watch PARANORMAL ACTIVITY this weekend and check out what the buzz is all about. Here are quotes from some of the reviews out there

“The Scariest Movie Of the Decade” –Chicagonow

I’ve said before that The Exorcist and the original A Nightmare On Elm Street were my top 2 scariest movies of all time, the ones that actually shook me and kept me sleeping with the lights on for days when I was a kid. That’s the only thing I’m worried about watching PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, sleeping with the lights on would take a hefty toll on my utility bills, maybe I should get one of those little nightlights but even those probably won’t be enough to calm me down. Sometimes I wonder why do I keep watching horror movies, maybe because I like to know how far something can really scare me. Zombies, Werewolves, Vampires, masked serial killers have had their days, they come and go and now it’s the return of demons and ghosts.

What’s the scariest movie that you’ve ever seen in your entire freakin’ life? Why? What was the aftermath effect?
