ESHAASActually, this is a part I can envision quite well and I am really anticipating seeing it, I think it will be one of the scariest parts of the trilogy. This will be the scene that everyone just shudders over! I wonder if Jackson will be brazen enough to leave the audience thinking that Frodo has been killed by Shelob at the end of TT, those who have not read the books that is. Sure would make for a nice cliffhanger! Very Empire Strikes Back.
Maybe the "Shelob" bit. It could be really great if done well, but let's hope it doesn't turn into a bunch of clunky, going-for-the-cheap-scare nonesense with a big silly spider-monster running around and none of the serious feeling of evil and revulsion that belongs in it. No "Arachnid Park", please!
