Ring
I had seen ring a couple of times and found it a little creepy (the way only japanese horror films can make you feel - not like shitey american remakes which think scary means something has to jump out and say boo before it's scary, they don't understand atmosphere.) So... keen to let my friends in on this great movie i had seen I rented out the trilogy and headed round to a friends house with a few people in tow to smoke a bit of earwax melted down with bin liners (or whatever shit it was we liked to smoke in those days) and watch some movies. after the conclusion of the movies everyone left and went home having had what can only have been a psychosomatic reaction to the crap we smoked and feeling a little high and like we'd enjoyed a good night with good friends.
The next day I met the guy who lived in the flat in the local shop looking like death.
Turns out when we all left he had to take his phone off the hook and turn his TV so it faced the wall cos he was afraid that someone might crawl out of it.
I guess whatever he'd been smoking had a much greater effect than it had on the rest of us.
I know I've pushed the boundarys of the qotw to include the creepiest thing someone else saw but fuck it this is my internet and I will do as I jolly well please.

the Japanese, nobody has a sense of imagination like those guys.

Completely agree
Although Asian cinema in general is brilliant. The Koreans spin a nice line in creepy cinema too with films such as R-Point and A Tale of Two Sisters.

The Japanese take the proverbial biscotti though with some of their weird shit like Tetsuo Bodyhammer!?! I remember watching that a few years back with a friend of mine; his girlfriend walked into the room mid-way through, studied the TV screen for a few moments, turned to look at us and then walked out shaking her head.
