Nightmare On Bob Street
Perhaps you've heard, Producer Bob doesn't take kindly to horror movies, or for that matter anything remotely scary. What better way to cure him than to make him watch some. Listen to the results below.
How good are scary movies? You turn the lights off, snuggle up with a friend on the sofa and get ready to have your pants scared right off?!!
Not so if you're our Producer Bob, who despite being over 30 refuses to watch horror movies because he finds them too scary, his last two experiences being leaving half way through 'I Am legend' upon finding out it featured monsters (he thought it was a human interest story), and before that seeing the first 15 minutes of 'What Lies Beneath' (which is rubbish) and crying a bit.
Upon learning this info we (Alex, Mark and Pete) have decided to give Bob and his also-not-a-horror-fan wife Jo a truly terrifying movie to watch every weekend from now until forever in the hope they can build up a resiliance to scary films and begin to enjoy them like us.
All your suggestions for the scariest films you feel Bob should be exposed to are welcome here (below), it can be anything from a creepy chiller like 'The Sixth Sense' to 80's video nasty 'The Toolbox Murders' or even the little seen Klaus Kinski shocker 'Crawlspace'. Let us know and we'll make him watch it, then tune in Monday to find out the damage we've done to his mind!
"Ring"
The original Japanese movie, that inspired the American remake "The Ring" - where a mysterious video kills whomever views it, unless that viewer can solve its mystery.
Here's what happened when Producer Bob and his wife Jo watched "Ring"
Clip 1 - Bob explains just how frightening this version is [listen]
Clip 2 - The first person dies, and Bob and Jo get scared [listen]
Clip 3 - The sense of brooding menace and growing tension is not lost on Jo and Bob [listen]
Clip 4 - They aren't really into this film [listen]
Clip 5 - A large orbiting rock can be very scary [listen]
Clip 6 - Bob and Jo realise why the film is called "Ring", but decide they don't want to watch anymore. [listen]
Viewing time managed - 31mins
Bob's verdict - "Very scary, I wanted to stop watching before I found out things that would give me nightmares and because I heard of a girl who's still not able to be on her own in a room with a TV in it since watching this film, I don't want to be that girl."

Make bob watch the descent its terrifying. He wont be able to sit through even half of it!
i know i already posted this but but thisfilm will win! -
The Shining, definetly show him the shining. Truely a terrifying film. A lot of modern Horror films owe a lot to this film, which did a lot of the horror cliches first, and better then any that mimicked it.
Event Horizon was Sci-fi, allowing for disbelief to creep in, but the Shining should get rouund that safety barrier. -
I think next week's film should be Rob Zombie's House of a thousand corpse's or Cannibal Holocaust,they were scare him so badly he will end up looking like 1 of the 118 118 men(minus the moustache)lol.
