Well, we missed Halloween by a few days, but Glenn Sparks, professor of communications, teamed up with national celebrity and cultural analyst Dr. Will Miller to find out what people regard as the scariest movies they've ever seen. The topic was part of a larger research project to understand how media messages affect people. In a random sample telephone survey of 200 respondents in a small Midwestern city, the duo found 44 movies that people deemed particularly scary. The NCAS web site is now being hosted on a different computer. The old web address will still work, however.
