Yeah, it's a shame we never got to see Veronica Mars: FBI as a full series. It's kind of rare to get a show that changes so much from when it started and is still enjoyable. I don't know for sure if they would have succeeded, but I really wished they had a chance to try.

As to freaky stories/movies... heh, guilty, I suppose. Although for me the interest is more in either the supernatural element or how the characters react to the situation. I rarely actually get scared by the movies. (Which isn't to say that I don't have fear, I'm a total coward, but movies/tv/books just doesn't seem to trigger it. :))
