What’s really scary about the original ‘Blair Witch’ is that it doesn’t really answer any questions, so what makes that ending so scary is you walk out feeling dirty because you don’t even know what happened. It feels wrong.
I always go with the story and character and if those are good and if the setting is something that’s scary (horror films seem to always take place at night and the weather’s always bad) then I might be interested.
Bambi, to a kid, was scary.
Always trying new things is always more fun, and it can be scary, but it’s always more fun in the end.
I’ve been in electric storms in the mountains. Scary things.

I think a lot of stuff like people’s emails getting hacked or that an email you sent is stored on a hard drive somewhere, that kind of stuff worries me a little bit. It’s a weird thought that someone else could get into my information that easily. That stuff’s pretty scary.
I’m honestly kind of scared of horror films. My girlfriend always tries to expose them to me. Being in a scary movie and seeing all the fake blood and stuff definitely takes away from the magic and kind of humanizes scary movies to me now, though.
I’m not a huge fan of scary movies, but I love doing them because your character arc gets condensed, and everything is elevated, and so you kind of have this amazing opportunity to go in many different places.
When you grow up in one town and your life revolves around it, you are very aware of any darkness on the edge of town. That’s because it’s scary and it’s inviting.

I probably wouldn’t be a songwriter if I didn’t grow up the way I did. It was difficult and it was at times very scary to grow up in a household so unsettled and at times very violent. But, it also, I guess it earned me a sort of wisdom at a young age that’s served me well.
Even the word ‘cancer’ is ugly, scary, burdensome – a roadblock for a conversation before it even starts. Who wants to go there? Much of the time, I’d rather not bring it up if I don’t have to – and I’m the one with the disease!
I was the person who stayed awake reading by the nightlight until the scary shadows made me crazy.
You have two pages, that’s the whole credit card agreement. The terms are clear and flat and easy to see so anyone can read them. So you could lay four credit cards in front of you and say, ‘Oh, that’s the one that has the highest rate, that’s the one that has the really scary provision that could hurt me.’
A lot of men do have a fear of my ultra-femininity. Sometimes people say I look like a drag queen, that I look scary, but I think that’s a fear of my confidence. Most women in contemporary culture pare down their femininity, so there’s a slight androgyny about them, and I think men have got used to seeing that.
Computers are scary. They’re nightmares to fix, lose our stuff, and, on occasion, they crash, producing the blue screen of death. Steve Jobs knew this. He knew that computers were bulky and hernia-inducing and Darth Vader black. He understood the value of declarative design.
I have a lot of energy, and if I don’t keep myself busy, I go crazy. I alphabetise the spice rack, separate the Lego from the Playmobile, colour-code the knicker drawers – it’s scary! My house loves it when I’m working so the linen cupboard can get a rest. I just don’t sit around.
My first performance was in AP Calculus when they forced me up into the front of the classroom and made me sing a song, which was really scary, but it was fun.

When we lost Steve, the grief was understandable, but I wasn’t prepared for how scary everything became – that fear factor of ‘Now I’m doing this on my own.’

I think I streaked one time when I was 16, which was scary.
I think the age we’re living in is starting to get scary.
‘Paranormal 1’ scared me because I didn’t know if it was real or what. ‘Blair Witch’ was kind of scary for the same reason. It takes the voyeur element away and makes you think, ‘Oh crap, this could really happen to me.’
‘Evita’ was four pieces of slick paper and a record album. It’s the most scary, to sit down and dictate a musical scene by scene. It was a musical unlike anything I’d ever seen before myself.
I love scary movies! My two favorites are pretty neck and neck: ‘The Orphanage’ and ‘The Strangers.’
I grew up watching ‘The Ring,’ ‘The Grudge,’ all those scary movies.
People are feeling and sensing a return of anti-Semitism – even in Europe, which, seventy years after the Holocaust, is a very scary thing. I think they are feeling that Israel is very isolated and doesn’t always get what they see as fair treatment in the European media.
‘Bosch’ itself – it has a huge fanbase already from the Michael Connelly books, so it was definitely intriguing because you know going in that there’s all those people who will want to watch it, and I knew it was going to be a down-and-dirty, gritty, no-make-up part, so that was scary and yet so exciting.
As a 12-year-old, I think everything seems scary.
This occasional sports columnist, who has been to his share of Super Bowls, had been glad to be home on Super Bowl Sunday, but the scary commercials made me want to be in the melee of the arena, where you are not aware of commercials.

I’m so not scary. I’m a pussycat. But what are you going to do, right? I mean, these cheekbones, and I guess these eyes, and the big nose… this is what my momma and my poppa gave to me, and that’s the deal.
Everything is scary if you look at it. So you just got to live.
I really love scary movies, so I’m all about Halloween.

Coming into high school, it’s scary. You don’t know which group to be in, and I can’t stand that it’s so cliquey.
There’s an energy and excitement when you’re building a company. You have so much tail wind. You’re planting new seeds. But it’s also scary, because there’s no safety net.
I have a scary side of me.
It’s astounding how challenging plays are… The scary part is that you get to encounter humanity in a way you don’t in films. The audience amplifies the experience.
In film, I don’t think I’d try directing. Maybe one day, but I’d certainly want to go to film school or something before I tried to do something like that. That would be quite scary.

It’s scary, the way your mind can overpower what is real and what is right.
For all of my life I’d been extremely healthy. I’d never had any health issues, so to go from being perfectly healthy to having this very rare disease was scary. In a lot of people it is very severe. Some people go blind, you can have neuro-lesions which affect your brain, so I was very nervous.
Punisher is scary; he should be scary.
I think that social media influence is such a powerful presence in our society to the point where it’s a little bit scary sometimes.
My favourite vampires are all very scary indeed. So the idea of falling in love with one is just weird to me.
From middle school to the first year of high school, I went to a school in Miami that seemed like a private country club. The whole cheerleader, football player, clique-y thing there was terrifying. Those people were so scary. They’re the scariest kinds of people because they are idolized by their peers.
Data transmission is no longer something scary you don’t want in your backyard. Now you want it directly in front of your house.
I think old people are scary. They remind you of your own death. People don’t like to tell you that.
I’m just a bit of a dreamer, and I get really in my thoughts. I get so deep with myself at times it’s almost very scary.
There were times when I’ve not wanted to be in my own skin, and that’s a very scary feeling.
There are the people who read my horror novels – the first two of them – and they found them scary or whatever, and then there are some people who are maybe not entirely stable who think that they’re real, who think that they’re being stalked by the same demons or ghosts that are mentioned in the books.
