play the game first, so you understand:

then watch this kid play the game:

this is the funniest thing i've seen in a very long time.

edit: be sure to play the game through level three before you watch the video.

When I first saw Exorcist, I saw the "made for TV" version with most of the really sick stuff cut out, but I was like 10 when I saw it (about like this kid's age). I saw it with my three older brothers who were scared to watch it too, and my parents, at the time, were having the living room redone, so we had the tv in the basement under a naked light bulb with all these shadows playing on the saws and hammers in the tool cabinets that my pop had set up.

One of us would just stand up startled in the middle of the movie bumping into the bulb, and the bulb would swing and make shadows around the basement with all these eerie objects and seeming machines of torture wiggling around. I just lost it when the girl, Regan (I will never NEVER forget any detail of that movie), twisted her head all the way around and engaged in a pithy conversation with the priest.

I couldn't sleep for a week and I had moved out all the furniture of my room and slept on the floor with my head in the floor's corner with all angles of the room in plain sight (monsters usually hide under the bed and you don't see them creeping up on you while you sleep then). I slept with the lights blazing and the windows and door locked from the inside and wedged shut with a chair.

I downloaded and watched the director's cut version just recently, and I am surprised at how much I had the heebee jeebies even at my age nearing 40 and having a kid of my own! That shock with the face at the end surprised me as much as it did the kid, although with not as much of the visible reaction. (I will never turn on my computer again for a week.) The only other movie that I had that much of a reaction to was "Faces of Death."

good thing i knew about this already!! jesus christ, man...do you know some of us are permenantly scarred by that movie??? you might actually have given me a heart attack had i played 'the game'...i can't even look at pictures from the movie. seriously. jesus...that is so f-ed up.

to whoever watched the movie as a child....i hear you...i never got over it and still remember every GD detail...

as far as what was done to the little boy...on the surface it seems a bit funny, but in fact was completely horrible. Anyone who sets up a child like that has no heart or can't think into the long term. its very likely the kid will be scarred for life or will at least gain some sort of phobia from the whole experience. what a horrible thing to do. and to top it off they continue taping him as he is crying...what a cruel, cruel, thing to do.

i wonder who the hell did it??

obligatory exorcist comments:

I also saw that movie at too tender an age and, I'm sure like a lot of us, found it very upsetting. Profoundly so. After seeing The Exorcist, no other movie truly scared me. Oh, some would startle me for a moment... BOO!!!!... That kind of "scared". In a sense, it ruined me as far as horror films go. For a long time afterwards, I'd physically tense up if I ever heard the theme music from The Exorcist. Even today, I don't know that I can just sit back and listen to it _as music_ without feeling those old pangs of fear.

obligatory scared kid vid comments:

Why does that child slap the screen?

We have to put this in the "blood-curdling BOO!" category of fear, nothing as emotionally gut-wrenching or long-term scarring as the movie. That mitigates the parents' guilt somewhat. Yes, I'd say that was over the top, and I sure wouldn't do it to ANY kid. (Notice nearly all the Korean netizens think it's a laugh riot.) But I might approve of similar pranks if they boy were considerably older.

That kid was really upset.

I didn't think it was funny at all. Just cruel.

Did anyone actually play the game and make it to the surprise before watching the video?

I tried it once, failed, tried it again, failed, then tried it the third time and got to the end. The genius is that, by the time you get to the really narrow part, you're concentrating so hard that the surprise hits you like a ton of needles. When I saw it, I screamed, which morphed into a loud laugh.

Q.

Sadly for all of you freaked out by it, Im the sort that used to laugh through scary movies as a kid. The only things that get me are the extremely unexpected things like this. Even then it's not fear, just suprise, so.... sorry, not too much sympathy here.

Ah, but then my psych training comes out and agrees with not setting a child up. *I* laughed at the kid's reaction, but would never do that to a kid myself.

Um... well.... then again.... what better way to learn a lesson about the harmlessness of TV/movie/video images and how not to confuse them with reality?? I was tossed into the river at about five or six and told to swim... ...been swimming ever since.

Hmmm....
