There is obviously some form of intelligent life out there most likely with a high knowledge of physics.
The drake equation: [b]N = N* fp ne fl fi fc fL[/b] N* represents the number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy fp is the fraction of stars that have planets around them ne is the number of planets per star that are capable of sustaining life fl is the fraction of planets in ne where life evolves fi is the fraction of fl where intelligent life evolves fc is the fraction of fi that communicate fL is fraction of the planet's life during which the communicating civilizations live and N is the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy. So, hypothetically if the number of stars in the galaxy is in the order of 200 billion and 20% of those stars had planets around them, and 3 of the planets of those stars are ecologically able to support life, and 50% of those planets life actually evolves, and 20% of those that are intelligent, and 20% of those that communicate, and the fraction of those planet's life during which the communicating civilizations live is 1/1,000,000th(10,000 years). Then there are 2400 intelligent and communicating civilizations in the galaxy. Just some food for though ------------------------------------------ And I am religious and do believe in god. |

I remember seeing Alien when I was a puppy. I saw it in the theater and I was, shit, I was young! I saw it in the afternoon and when we came out it was night and raining. I was so F'N scared at everything that moved. I was even afraid to eat eggs! Damn baby sitter took me to see it. I don't know if she snuck me in or what but I should NOT HAVE SEEN THAT MOVIE AT MY AGE! F'N Bitch! I think she did it on purpose! I do kinda laugh about it now.
Nowadays anything with the devil or the supernatural kinda freaks me out. |

My dad worked at Dolby at when Alien came out and they had a pre-release screening at work. That movie is NOT something you want to watch when you're six. I didn't sit through the whole thing.
Shortly afterwards, one of my baby teeth was coming out and I wouldn't let my parents near it. Somehow they coaxed me into letting them tie a string on it. I wasn't really paying attention, my dad yells "Look, an Alien!". I whipped my head around, took up the slack on the string and out popped the tooth. FYI, I believe there are other planets in the universe with intelligent life, just don't think any have visited here. And when they do finally show up, stay the hell away from my place! [heavy] |

Holy crap... The Amtyville Horror novel! Scary as all hell!! WAY more scary than the movie! Still gives me the willies.
I too saw Alien when I was about 5, my parents claimed I screamed all night when they turned out the lights. The movie Fire in the Sky was pretty spooky. |

OK I don't know why but the Sixth Sense(you know the "I see dead people" movie) really gave me the willies. Didn't bother much when I watched it but I'll be damned if I can't get up in the middle of the night to take a leak without thinking of those damn dead people. Only movie that has freaked me out as an adult.

Quoted: you guys got alot of the good ones.Unfortunately,most of the horror films being released nowadays are geared towards a teen audience.Except for a few,like "The Others" I think I'll go see that this weekend.Any good? [b]I saw "The Others" tonight. Kidman was very good in it however, the movie was very slow going. The best part was the ending and how you think the movie is going one way and then there is a suprise. I would give it ** out of *****.[/b] |

It would be "Jaws" and "The Exorcist".
Probably the worst is that pic of that ugly fat dude that keeps showing up at the middle/end of the [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=43256&page=1[/url] thread. I didn't post it because it still scares the hell out of me... Tyler |

[red]Nobody else liked the film [u]Phantasm[/u]?[/red]
Chances of you or me winning tomorrow night's Power Ball: 1 : 80,089,128 That's cold, hard, mathematical fact. Hypothetical ratio of Stars in the sky to "existing intelligent" life: 1 : 83,333,333 That's just good old mushy romanticism. For what it's worth, I don't believe in UFOlogy, aliens abducting humans or mutilating cows, el chupacabra, or the monkey man of New Delhi --[b] but I do have $5 in quick picks all ready to go for the lottery [/b]!!! Does that make me a hypocrite??? (PS: DVDTracker, I loved that story about the movie Alien and your loose tooth!) |

not along the lines discussed so far,
but DISABLING KNEE INJURIES really freak me out. really. also realistic portrayals of compound fractures. eeeewwww! vampires always did it for me when i was a kid. then when i got a little older, i wanted to be one.[dracula](cool black clothes and a diet of young virgins? sign me up!) i read communion and some of the sequels till i just couldnt take it any more. read some scary stuff when i was in jr. high. short stories. the patchwork monkey- jealous toy monkey with needles in its paws. the yamadan- yeti like creature that abducts teenagers, who then become yamadan. i think reading can be scarier. |

Not sure of why, but the sight of a preying mantis has always freaked me out. Something about the shape of their head and the little insect arms.

John Carpenter's remake of "The Thing" spooked me pretty good.
20 years ago, the "bloody hallway vision" scene in "The Shining" was enough for me to shut down the TV for the night. Jay Arizona "Life is hard: It's harder if you're stupid" |
