10 Urban Legends That Should Be Horror Films

2. The Midnight Bus

What's the Legend? An old man boards a bus late at night in Beijing. Sat on the bus are two people next to each other behind the driver, and a third young man towards the rear of the bus. Other than that, the bus is empty. The old man walks down the gangway and takes a seat a couple of rows ahead of the younger guy. No sooner has he sat down does he start going off on one at the younger guy, accusing him of saying things behind his back. He even gets up and lightly clocks him in the side of the head. The driver screeches to a halt and kicks both guys off the bus. The young man asks why the old geezer started all that sh*t, to which the old man says that he just saved their lives. The two passengers behind the driver were just floating there, with nothing from the waist down. The next day the bus was discovered to be missing. What's the Movie? It's like Speed, with ghosts! Sold.
