Think the skintight costumes are the scariest part of this year's Comic-Con? You clearly have not toured the MGM booth. The studio rolled out Feed your Fear, which involves a series of fake electric chairs featuring virtual reality goggles. Guests sit down and strap in, and a barrage of clips from MGM and Fox horror movies such as Child's Play stream for roughly 2 minutes.

I couldn't help but liken the whole thing to A Clockwork Orange, a comparison not denied by the MGM rep I spoke with. I didn't get a chance to try it out--mostly for fear of the long line--but I'm told the experience is rather intense. And while there haven't been any heart attacks or fainting spells yet, apparently plenty of viewers have let out a few screams.

I had the same reaction to the $10 dollar sandwiches on the convention center floor.
