Urban Legend (1998) — Page 2

AHHH!! Spider don't scare me...I KNOW I remember that line from a story I heard at camp around a fire...but I don't remember the whole story and I don't think I WANT to remeber!

The what?

loved that movie.

the urban legend containing "arent you glad you didnt turn on the light?" is exactly what happens in the movie, roomate comes home, doesnt turn on the light, other girl ends up dead. in some versions the roomate comes to pick something up and leaves, in other versions she goes to sleep and wakes up the next day...

I thought Urban Legend was a pretty decent movie for what it was.

Have you ever seen the version of the second story you mentioned in the movie Campfire Tales, broadway86?

That kinda sounds like the beginning to "the Ring"...

Ah sorry Broadway, didn't see your post before. oops.

But now I'm reading through all of the Urban Legends again, and I'm going to have nightmares. Great.

If anyone wants to read them...

Those are the scary ones. Crazed murderers are the worst ones.

I rented it tonight and watched it with the boyfriend. Not so scary, and not so good, really, but good story. The plot twists weren't so great and that damn jacket/hood thing just popped up everywhere and kinda lost the importance.

Just left with too many questions.

First, how did Brenda get into the back of the Ford? Second, how in the word did she survive being shot, thrown from a building, find an axe, get to their car, all before they get to their car in the end? Third, wasn't Natalie cut? Wouldn't she have some kind of limp? I mean...you're bleeding. A lot. Fourth, Brenda was ejected through a windshield and into a river. In a storm. While still bleeding from that shot. Oh, Five, How in the world did she toss Damon up the tree?

Then that one guy. The janitor. Freaked me out completely. Creepy.

Justice-

"Black Christmas" was awesome! That was Margot Kidder.

Captain-

I have those same questions, too. The key to the movie is the ending. We see Brenda and a whole group of people sitting at a college cafe. She looks to the person who told the story and says "I believe you, but you didn't tell it right. Not at all. Listen up, guys. Because this is how the story really goes."

Whenever we tell scary stories, we usually add in our own little embellishments (i.e. in the babysitter story, the kids upstairs have their heads cut off OR the boyfriend's head is cut off, and the blood drips down on to the car below). The notion of the film was that the guy at the end told the entire movie. But, Brenda excuses him of exaggerating and offers the truth (something that she's probably VERy familiar with).
