How about the Nazgûl scene in the Marshes? The scenery wasn't creepy enough for me. It definitely would have been scarier if it was night for that scene. I think the terror factor of the Nazgûl was lacking in the movie. For example, when the Ringwraith swooped over them, Sam didn't even look scared!<P>Here's an exerpt from the book concerning the Nazgûl. Bolded parts are mine, showing the true nature of their presence:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Then Frodo and Sam staring at the sky, breathing deeply of the fresher air, saw it come: a small cloud flying from the accursed hills; a black shadow loosed from Mordor; <B>a vast shape winged and ominous</B>. It scudded across the moon, <B>and with a deadly cry went away westward, outrunning the wind in its fell speed</B>.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>And here are Frodo, Sam, and Gollum's reactions to the Nazgûl:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR><B>They fell forward, grovelling heedlessly on the cold earth.</B> But the <B>shadow of horror</B> wheeled and returned, passing lower now, right above them, sweeping the fen-reek with its <B>ghastly wings</B>. And then it was gone, flying back to Mordor with the speed of the wrath of Sauron; and behind it <B>the wind roared away</B>, leaving the Dead Marshes bare and bleak. The naked waste, as far as the eye could pierce, even to the distant menace of the mountains, was dappled with the fitful moonlight.<P><B>Frodo and Sam got up, rubbing their eyes, like children wakened from an evil dream to find the familiar night still over the world. But Gollum lay on the ground as if he had been stunned. They roused him with difficulty, and for some time he would not lift his face but knelt forward on his elbows, covering the back of his head with his large flat hands.</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I really wish the whole Dead Marshes scene was like the book. That would have been very frightening!
