It's time for more Halloween article fun at Coding4Fun. This year I developed two applications based on movies to scare your friends. One displays the "cursed video" from The Ring at 50% transparency against the victim's display, while the other possesses Notepad to type "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" over and over again as in The Shining.
Source and executables are provided. Prank you friends and co-workers again this year!
