    Now that I think about it... it may be either that one, or the one where the Piranha have wings... and they fly out of the water at a beach, where peeps are having a party... isn't it? :eek: On that movie poster, they don't seem to have wings. Other than that, I think we can just YouTube or look them up on IMDB, as it might even be the same one. In Mexico, I believe it was called "Pirañas Voladoras" (Flying Piranha).

    Yeap. I was fearing I was wrong. I saw THIS ONE you mention, and Piranha 2: The Spawning... in the 2nd one, they have wings.

    There was this one oldie song that talks about the wind laughing or something outside a window... I must have misinterpreted it as a kid and I would picture this lady laughing at side the window at night as a child.

    I cover and never look out the window at night till this day. Windows are scary.

    I'm pretty sure it's that movie. I didn't know they're making a remake of that movie. Should I watch it? SCARY. :(

    No remakes, I believe... just the original. I remember people running towards the camera on a beach. :eek: I believe they had just gotten mauled by the flying piranha.

    Is this a sequel? answered - apparently NOT a sequel? Why the 2 behind it, though?

    Now, this remake, as you mention: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464154/ - Piranha 3D... I'll watch ANYTHING with Elisabeth Shue. :)

    For 2 weeks straight I had dreams where I would be running around my apartment complex dodging a T-Rex. I would wake up sweating and my heart racing after it would spot me and chow down. :(

    Lived through Hurricane Carla (Category 5) as a toddler, though I have no specific memory. I remained scared of bad weather for a long time thereafter.

    If a hurricane like this hit Houston again, it would be underwater.

    Deckard probably remembers...

    This. I couldn't even make it halfway through the movie. After that, for at least the following 5 years, I never took my eyes off the drain while i showered.

    Goodness thanks for reminding me of that :mad:

    My dad had (still has?) this record and it creeped me out every time I had to look at it.

    Do I remember? Oh, yes I do! My father took the family to the Santa Rosa Theatre on Telephone Road to watch a flick, Dad being addicted to movies, during the freakin' storm. We drove home after the film, somehow, and the tree outside my window had fallen into my bedroom. Happy days! ;)

    There used to be some furniture store here in Houston called "Plantowsky's"..

    Their commercial was a shot of a white room and then they would flash a bunch of different furniture really fast. Then the furniture would stop changing and it was a couch, with a dog on it. Some creepy female voice would call to him and the dog would bark and jump off and run off screen.

    That would scare the living **** out of me. I don't know why. Perhaps it was the voice, or perhaps the dog barking but it didn't look like he really barked.

    No kidding? One of the most enjoyable times I had there, and certainly the weirdest, given the venue, was watching The Mahavishnu Orchestra play there, with Peter Frampton opening. It was so loud that I found myself looking up at the ceiling sometimes, wondering if the old place could handle it.
