One that I particularly remember was The Changling about a haunted house.

But I've been pondering your question, Mel -- what books and movies make me cry (I've chosen cry over your other options because if a book or movie can make me do it then it usually becomes a keeper. I don't know why because I loathe crying in real life)? I think it all boils down to how invested I become in the characters. Make me love them then put them through hell... and make them act nobly in their hell -- Harry Potter in the 4th book when Cedric Diggory dies. That gets me every time.<br /><br />Hmm... off to ponder some more.Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-74686627007582134092010-09-23T18:08:41.646+10:002010-09-23T18:08:41.646+10:00I'm hopeless at horror movies or anything supe...I'm hopeless at horror movies or anything supernatural, Mel -- I get far too scared.

The writer was very clever give ghost stories a twist. Likewise I loved 6th Sense. Good world building in that the settings are recognisable but eerie.
