I dont get scared by either, but seeing as Freddy first gave me nightmares as a kid I would say slasher

I vote for possesion. I also dont believe in it, but they makers of possesion movies tend to rely on atmosphere and build-up of tension to scare you, rather than the "running-away, blood and guts" approach of slashers.

I would say possession is a more interesting watch. Slashers can be (not always) predictable. Although watching either of these doesnt really scare me I would have to say the general thought that there are killers out there would have to be a more scary thought.

Exorcist style possession or smelly Voorhees on the prowl. I know which I prefer.

What! Possession is not real?? Oh geez you guys! Ok, I have two really good books written by three of the formost authorities in demonolgy, read them and they will really scare you. I do believe in possession, and NO I have not actually seen or know anyone possessed, but....


The Demonologist: The Extraordinary Careet of Ed and Lorraine Warren - Gerald Daniel Brittle

Shadows of the Dark - John Zaffis and Brian McIntyre

If you don't know who the Warrens are, the are HUGE in the paranormal world. Actually Ed Warren just passed away about a month ago. The book is about their cases. The other one is by John Zaffis who is their nephew and trained by them and his cases. You can find out other stuff about them by googling their names.

Anyway, they are scary books. After reading them I refuse to use my Ouji board anymore. (Seriously)

One more question regarding a possession movie I saw on TV years and years ago, maybe like 25 or 30 years ago, all I remember is this woman was possessed and she was all possessed out standing by a indoor pool and this guy came in the across the room and she opened her mouth and all these black tacks came out of her mouth and were shooting at him. It really scared me back then, but I have never been able to figure out the name of the movie. Anybody???? Thanks

See, here's the thing with these "foremost authorities"...if a renowned biologist tells me he has a yellow and red flashing penis, and pinecones for testicles, I'd still probably (gross) have to insist upon first hand proof before blindly accepting this to be true...that, and WHO calls them the foremost authorities? To me, they're just more crazies...Like a guide dog pimping his owners mad eyesight skillz.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Hey evildemontoo made me think of something. Does anybody know that possession movie that made fun of the excorcist, Was it called Re-possessed? Does anybody know what I am talkin about?
