Newspaper reporter Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) is skeptical of the story until four teenagers all die mysteriously exactly one week after watching just such a tape. Allowing her investigative curiosity to get the better of her, Rachel tracks down the video and watches it. Now she has just seven days to unravel the mystery.[/i] There will be two pings on October 17 - one when I wakeup with the IRC details, and a 30 minute warning at 13:30. Once I ping with the IRC information tomorrow, you are welcome to join at any time as I have cleared my schedule to be around for the day. To those that would be interested in viewing Ringu, I would happily organize a group viewing for another day during RoR, so let me know if you would be interested - maybe it could be an Asian Horror Double Feature! [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gend/1600652#post_14505487]Click here to see the movie list[/url] with trigger warnings![/b] We want this activity to be inclusive to everyone regardless of triggers or disliking horror, so the movie double feature will start with Hocus Pocus, to be followed by the scary/horror movie of YOUR choosing! We hope that you are having a FANTASTIC Riot of Rot season this October!

[center][b][color=red]>>[url=http://strawpoll.me/5656490]The Poll[/url] has ended![/b][/center] Hi everyone, the poll has finally ended and it is time to discuss the second part of the RoR "Scary" Movie Double Feature! [img]http://i.imgur.com/6firZMH.png[/img] The Ring has come out victorious after spending the week neck and neck with Silent Hill and briefly being topped by Beetlejuice, which came up from behind! Originally I was intending on this being the American remake, but enough people on the thread have posted that they would be interested in Ringu, the original in Japanese so I wanted to ask the thread - preference? I chose The Ring because some people really dislike subtitles and wanted to leave this event open and accessible to as many people as possible. [b]So - Ring or Ringu? You have until noon tomorrow to ping me and vote! At around 14:00 tomorrow I will ping everyone with the final information for the movies. [/b]The IRC channel will be released when I wake up on Saturday morning, around 07:00 FR time (I live on server time), and at that point people can hop in to chat and get excited / discuss movies or whatever. I look forward to this weekend! :) [b]The Mist (2007)[/b] (tw: blood, spiders, suicide, drug use) [b]Dead and Breakfast (2004)[/b] (tw: zombies, gore) [b]Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)[/b] [b]Poltergeist (1982)[/b] (tw: jumpscares, body horror) [b]Invasion of the Body Snatchers[/b] (1956) [b]A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)[/b] (tw: slasher flick, blood, jumpscares) [b]Warm Bodies (2013)[/b] (tw: slight gore, zombies) [b]The Haunting[/b] (1963) (tw: jumpscares) [b]The Devil’s Backbone[/b] (2001) (tw: ghosts, jumpscares, violence) [b]The Ring[/b] (tw: jumpscares, body horror) [b]House on Haunted Hill[/b] (1959) (tw: jumpscares) [b]Last Man on Earth (1964)[/b] [b] Omega Man (1971)[/b] [b]Black Swan (2010)[/b] (tw: body horror, self-harm) [b]Beetlejuice (1988)[/b] [b]Ghostbusters (1984)[/b] [b]Silent Hill (2006)[/b] (tw: jumpscares, slight gore) [b]Dance of the Dead (2008)[/b] (tw: zombies, slight violence) [b]The Frighteners (1996)[/b] [b]Rosemary's Baby (1968)[/b] Please remember to keep the discussions of the movies within Flight Rising's [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/site/terms-use]Terms of Use[/url] and [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=50]Rules & Guidelines[/url].

@kalhalla

I love Hocus Pocus! Please add me to the pinglist. Thank you!

@rubyredtan

ME TOO it is pretty much my favorite Halloween movie. Hands down. Watch it every year at least once.

@kalhalla

Sorry, but I am a little confused. Are all of us just talking about said movie or streaming it so people can enjoy together? I'm just confused, but this sounds like an interesting idea.

@BlueDragonSona

No need to be sorry - I forgot that this may not be something that happens often on FR (my guild on another site has done them for ages)!

The idea is that those in the IRC would be watching it and discussing together. :) So you show up and press play at the same time and talk to one another about the movie.

@kalhalla

OOOkay that makes more sense, thank you for clearing that up. Can I be put on the ping list, I've actually never seen any of those movies you listed, not much of a horror genera fan but am willing to give it a try.

@kalhalla can i be on the reminders ping list please? I'd love to attend this!

@kalhalla Also, a suggestion. Have you tried Rabb.it? It's a streaming site where everyone can watch at the exact same time.
