Drhoz Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Re: Creepy Pics. LOL - Roleplayers make very bad audiences for horror. Speak for yourself - I found Blink terrifying. And how would the roleplayers arrange any of those traps when you don't dare take your eyes off the Angel, don't blink, or, god in heaven, dare split up? Of course, that said more horror movies do make me throw my arms up in despair at the victims lack of lateral thinking, but then Moffat is that good a writer.

Of course, that said more horror movies do make me throw my arms up in despair at the victims lack of lateral thinking, but then Moffat is that good a writer. Nods, I quite agree. My comments were my observation on RPer's reactions rather to my own. I found Blink an excellent story, and the Angels a splendid new addition to Who canon... but every time I see them being discussed the focus is less on story and atmosphere and more on the chances of putting mirrored hoods on the Weeping Angels or some other such unlikely fun.

Then I read everything I could get my hands on like "The Maybe Monsters" http://www.amazon.com/maybe-monsters-Gardner-Soule/dp/B0007DXM9G/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323671491&sr=1-1 amazing I remembered the title from 35 years or so ago...

I dont understand why THIS is my phobia, considering I live in a land-locked state... I can somewhat relate. I have a mild aversion to open water, though it hasn't kept me out of Lake Michigan or the Gulf of Mexico. But I'm a bit more reluctant to go snorkeling or scuba diving...

Matt the Bruins Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Re: Creepy Pics. I gather that when not observed, the Weeping Angels kind of expanded into a fuzzy cloud of possible locations and then re-collapsed into a set position when observed again (hence how they could get up on ledges, into basements without opening doors, and the like). Booby traps probably wouldn't be a problem. I did think they were much creepier when it seemed there were only 4 of them and they were unexplained abstract things rather than just a weird species subject to the passage of time and quirks of biology/reproduction.
