The thing with The Exorcist is, nothing relevant happens for the first 30 minutes; we're just hanging out in Africa on an archeological dig, and it's really pretty boring. And then they spend some time establishing Regan and her mom as a relatively normal family.
So when Regan's head start spinning and she starts howling, it's almost as strange and just as scary as it would be if that happened in life. I made my husband repeatedly assure me that possession was not real and there were no demons in my apartment after I watched it.
(It's also probably a scarier movie if you live less than two miles from Georgetown.)
Books usually don't really scare me.
I think I'll go to Spiderman 3 like twelve times, if that happens.
And I'll buy the disc and play it a bunch of times. That'll end up in the rotation with the coffin sex, I don't doubt.
sumi, that link seems to confirm (in rumor form!) the presence of
Man-Wolf
in the third movie, though it's odd there's no mention of
Lizard.
Yes, perhaps there will be a 4th movie?
Or maybe they are still negotiating. . . and man -- that's a lot of baddies, isn't it?
Or maybe he was just teasing the fanboys and girls, and/or giving himself a pool to draw from. I don't think everything has to pay off.

I want Venom, dammit! And Teppy wants Kraven! And later on, if the franchise gets stale, they can have this ridiculous installment where the villains are Scorpion and Vulture and Rhino and a bunch of other animal-themed losers.
The original Japanese Ring movie was flat-out terrifying at times in ways that the Naomi Watts version couldn't quite match, despite the hard-to-accept psychic-answers-to-scary-questions deus-ex machina-plot turns. When they finally got to the moments where we saw the angry spirit, my skin crawled like it was trying to leave the room without me.
