Haven't watched Shocker in a while, so I've got that going. Is that Kiss doing the opening song?

that scene in pulse that jason linked works better in the film when you get him going through the house. and the build up and then the motion of her movements and everything. it is eerie. also helps with the guy's reaction to her. great scene. probably more effective than most other ghost girl type stuff.

I actually dug around the soundtrack of that movie a couple weeks ago. It's just Paul Stanley and somebody else, I think. But there's a lot of great rocking 80s in that soundtrack.

It's definitely the scene of the movie. It's otherwise fairly good and you can't deny the gloomy atmosphere. But there's just not a lot of excitement or anticipation.

yeah, this is pretty subdued and more just eerie and unsettling in the tone. i think you really should give a tale of two sisters a go at least, if you want something more exciting and anticipatory.

The Basket Case trilogy does a great job of making Belial seem actually alive.

you could try it on youtube. both tale of two sisters and talk to me are good stuff, so either way is a win in my opinion.

it's about a possession kind of parlor game like a twist on a ouija board involving a severed hand. i don't wanna say much more than that.

This is definitely one of Craven's goofiest movies. I know when was trying to do another Nightmare franchise, but it almost seems like he didn't actually care and was trying to make fun of it at the same time.

"Come on you fucker, move!" is probably the only intentionally funny thing in the movie that works lol. The girl probably channeled her mom in that scene hahaha.
