i do not completely agree here. in the computer model there are factors that adapt to its player. also they stated that it passed on the "feeling" to 60% of the players. is that the same 40% that is a sceptic in normal life? the same 40% that sleeps in haunted or creepy places without problems? or is the 40% indicating that the modelling dudes have a lot of work left to do?
this gives me the "feeling" for a situation to be spooky, besides other factors, environmental adaptation seems mandatory. id love to hear a perfectly logical explanation for how a "dead" environment is able to adapt to its live visitor.
anyway, another and perhaps the biggest factor in spooky situations is the subjects own mind that fills in all the gaps. i think that this is why for example the blair witch was a hit. because of all the faulty cam work, people are forced to fill in the gaps them selves. thus making it all very personal and scary.
for the modelling dudes, the creation of such a setting would be the easy part?
Regards !
i can fully imagine this type of situation.
the actual reason the kid got into trouble is probably making the teachers (read, dudes in charge) look like dickhead's.
unfortunatly i speak out of expirience when i say that it may be cool, but it get's you nowhere.
then again, the kid made/........nevermind my reply
