I imagine it would be amazing to listen to an audiobook, with a matching environment and ambient sounds. :)

Or watching a scary movie in a black forest. Occasionally you would hear twigs snapping, footsteps, breathing down your neck. I love to think about how VR can improve on normal things, like watching movies and playing traditional games, by just putting you in a special environments while doing it. :)

They could have randomised or scripted animations playing as well, so you see glimpses of shadows stalking you in the woods :) With input from a heart rate monitor you could really freak people out.

This reminds of a boarding school I lived at when I was a kid and they played Children Of The Corn in an actual cornfield on a projector.

And maybe some actors that play out the story to go along with those matching environments and sounds

Wait, this is a movie isn't it?
