See this is exactly why I posted the thread! I must've seen this film maybe three times now and it never occurred to me! THANK YOU The_Knife!

Glad you love the film :) Anyone who hasn't seen Suspiria needs to at least once although it gets even better with more viewings. I hope I get to see it at a cinema someday with the enhanced sound and visuals they have :)

Yeah, seeing it screened would be amazing. In the meantime it is out on blue-ray :-)

"The Shining" is going on the list!

some thoughts on The Shining

I say movies like Insidious really used the whole errie quietness with the freaky voices and sounds really well. like the part with the baby monitor was great how the build up was perfect.

Movies like White Noise and The Others did a pretty good job with just allowing the voices creep you out.

Cheers Ice Pik - how could I forget White Noise?!?!?! I just read a whole book about electronic voice phenomena!!! - On that tio I ought to revisit The Ring films - I can't remember if there are any voices in that - I have a feeling there may be as it's such a psychological horror film.

I can't remember The Others but will revisit it. I've never seen Insidious.

Others was the one with I think Nicole Kidman where her kids are allergic to the sunlight and there's weird noised and footsteps throughout the house.

Insidious is also a great horror film that really brought the suspense and on the edge of your chair back to the genre. They really are quite good with the suspenseful noises and having the perfect timing for the scare to be intense.

Insidious looks great - totally going to get the blue-ray. Cheers IP.
