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?

first one that came to my mind is 'Cube'...the original one's opening scene...there were a couple sequels also but the first was the best...I've seen the other movies also and admit that they are also excellent recommendations...it's just that 'Cube' popped into my mind immediately.

you wax your car yet?

Another Dts movie which is no cinematic masterpiece that gives your H/T system an intense workout is "Reign of Fire". This dragon slayer type flick, will continually make your jaw drop as it could surface drywall nails, or crack plaster. Not a movie to try if you have a Bose system, but also a great movie to demonstrate reasons why you didn't buy a Bose system!

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!
