Also, remember when the mother rakosh was dressed as an old woman? Yowza, when it tore out of the clothes...I could just see that moment in the movie. It would--will--be so nightmarish.

That whole bit with the painting's still looking wet, and when Jack dips his finger into the paint...and something seemed to hurt his finger...
...I'm still trying to figure that one out, but boy it sure worked.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft

still gives me chills. I have never read one line in a book that conveyed so much.
I have; same book, different line: "The horror had begun."

The one scene that really comes to mind is when Jack is in the basement caught in the whirlpool of blood along with him seeing the crosses on the wall.
Another scene that wasn't exeactly scary but definately made me cringe was in The Select during the scene where he rips the catheter out of himself and FPW's description of it feeling like tearing barbed wire out. (BTW, I just noticed that The Select isn't listed on the "Books" page of the website along with Sibs. You trying to disown them FPW?)

The painting scene in HA was marvelous, but the scariest scene (well, concept anyway) would have to be the horrific practice of cutting one off from all physical sensations in Black Wind. And on babies, no less. Shivers up my spine. It almost made me curious- what would happen if you were cut off from all your five senses in that way?
