How does the 3:00 am thing work ?


Suppose you set all your clocks 5 minutes behind, Would the clocks stop at 2:55am when its actually 3:00 am or would it be according to your clocks.
Personally none of my clocks/watches are in sync.

Haha i suppose demons whatever like to be punctual. Or just another *beep* written rule about them like the whole thing is. bunch of nonsense, entertainment.

The increase in human knowledge is the cause of the decline of religions.

reply

Ah, but if they can *stop* your clock, they can certainly reset it, as well!

Not to sound silly... but when I first watched this movie (around 13) I woke up at exactly 3AM that morning. It was HORRIFYING.

reply

Well to add to that, I too woke up at 3AM on the dot for a week after watching the film. Don't know how the movie had such a psychological effect.

reply

HAHAHA I had the same problem when I've first watched it as well! The worse thing is that it kept happening for 3 more days. Probably because I was nervous about the week of test coming but still, pretty damn weird D:

reply

No, it would still stop right at 3 because the whole point of that was to get her to believe in the supernatural, and right at 3 is a lot spookier than 2:55.

reply

I too woke up at 3 AM for a few days afterwards!
And more than once, I've woken up from a harsh nightmare at exactly 3 AM.

Makes one wonder. 


I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

reply

Would one be able to sidestep the worst of the demons' wrath via clever use of Time Zone hopping?

reply

I also woke up at 3am after seeing the movie!!!

But it was pure coincidence, I have a very screwed up 25 hour sleep cycle, and it was just time to wake up after a good 8 hour rest.

reply

I've never believed in a time hour for evil or supernatural. I've heard people say the "witching hour" is midnight or 1am. The thing is in the spiritual world there is no time. Demons, ghosts or what ever don't need time to come back.

reply

You'd go by demonic standard time.

I had to comment because I to woke up around 3:15 off and on for awhile. Not just after this movie. Definitely makes one wonder what is up with that hour. And my clocks are sometimes faster which is why I think it was not exactly at 3am.
