Best Spooky, Moody, Atmospheric Home Theatre Demo

I still don't quite the idea of remaking a classic film, frame by frame, but tonight I bought a new copy of the Psycho DVD with Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche.

Perhaps it has more to do with the scene, but I really enjoy the atmosphere of the opening of the movie, and hearing the pouring rain in surround sound, as she cautiously approaches the neon sign of the Bates Motel.

Bearing in mind both technical AND dramatic considerations, what movies do you think best demonstrate the spooky, moody, atmospheric capabilities of home theatre and surround sound?

Fahrenheit 911: What could be spookier than what Michael Moore says and does and some people actually buy into it!
But, it's AMERICA and ain't it GREAT!

Fahrenheit 9-11, what a load of crap. Horror? Maybe, though my Wife and I found more hilarious than horrifying.

I'll second "Reign of Fire," my Subs were sweatin' after that one!

Fahrenheit 9-11 shown in "Feel-Around" would be damn spooky.

Next time you have guests over, stand behind them as they're watching the movie [or any movie], and whatever the protagonist on screen experiences, you do the same to your guests. Should be loads of spine chilling fun!

Fahrenheit 9-11

I, too, was terrified.

But I can't decide which was more terrifying:

Michael Moore's chippy arrogance or the thought of George Bush running the world.

Marilyn Manson, ironically, put me at ease.
