So as I told you all yesterday, my friends have been trying for years to scare me. They are never successful and really I like for my friends to succeed but in this? I must admit that I love the fact that I get to laugh every November 1st when I send them this email:
ANOTHER HALLOWEEN HAS COME AND GONE AND I AM STILL UNSCARED.
DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP TOO MUCH OVER IT, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
IT'S JUST THAT I'M MUCH TOO AWESOME FOR YOU.
LOL. I know, I'm a stinker.
Anyway, last night was a "Halloween" marathon. Every year we start off with "Halloween". You'd think by now they'd give up on that every working but....alas, my friends believe that one year they will be successful.
Schmucks.
So, of course, last night was a bust. I laughed and pointed out why those movies make me roll my eyes. I screamed along with the victims and did a lot of "OH!!!"s when Michael Myers killed someone. Then I made the mistake of going on Facebook and talking about it. Before I knew it TJ Klune, Piper Vaughn, Blake Venez, and others were throwing out scary movie ideas and my friends, who were reading over my shoulders, jumped on their computers and smartphones to find the movies mentioned.
So, right now we're watching: Mimic 2, which is SOO NOT a scary movie. But on the list for tonight? They're talking about Zombieland, Session 9, Nightmare on Elm Street (the original), Vacancy, and some "special" movie that they won't tell me about.
I am reserving judgement on whether or not I'll be scared, but honestly I am the person who yells at the characters: "Why don't you leave?!" "God they are so stupid!!" "And now you're going to die..." and if these movies are anything like Mimic 2 I'll be doing more yelling than being scared.
And the pizza's here, so I'm going to go and focus back on these movies.
Do you all have any scary movies that you think might scare me? Just so you know I haven't been scared in 17 years and the last time I was I believe it was Nightmare on Elm Street that did it. Texas Chainsaw Massacre doesn't scare me, just makes me cringe. The Exorcist, The Last Exorcism, The Exorcism of Emily Rose don't scare me, they just make me shake my head and the first two make me laugh. Paranormal Activity 1 & 2 make me shake my head at how ridiculous I find them and I spend the whole time scaring those watching the movie with me, rather than being scared myself.
So if you think you know of a movie that might scare me, I encourage you to share it. And I even have a code for a free book from Total E-Bound (I believe that's who it's from. I have to go back and check) for the person who suggests the movie that scares me.
Happy Scaring and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

You need to see the proper Exorcist, unedited with Linda Blair. Freaked me the fawk out and I refuse to buy it and even have it in my home. THAT narsty. Now Paranormal 3 I just saw it and I have to admit that although it takes a hellova lot to scare me as well, it got a few jumps outta me.
ReplyDeleteI actually did see the unedited Exorcist. Nothing. LOL. Honestly, I just don't think I have the type of brain that is frightened by "horror" movies. But yet, real life? I swear I want to always have a gun on me. I'm just kind of weird. Mimic 2 was a bust and I'm falling asleep on Session 9.
ReplyDeleteVic, I'm with you. Scary movies DO NOT scare me. Never have, even when I was a kid and watched the Exorcist like when I was 12 or 13 years old. Only and I do mean the ONLY, time I have ever been scared by a movie was Salem's Lot. And, that was only because I was sitting in my front room, watching it by myself, in the middle of the night at around age 14 or 15. It came with the part when the coffin started sliding up in the back of the truck. At just about the same time, I started hearing noises in our attic. Now, remember I was there pretty much by myself, my mom and dad were next door playing cards. I'm sitting there watching that coffin move and I hear these noises come from my attic. I tried turning the movie to something else, but the noises kept up to the point that I had to go next door. I realize now, as an adult, that it was most likely either bats or mice, but it scared the shit out of me and I never finished watching the movie, never wanted to. Guess it sounds kind of dumb, but just have no desire to even begin trying to watch it now.
ReplyDeleteBut when I watch the other movies, I either laugh at how stupid they are or they make me hungry. The only modern movie that comes close to even making me think that it could really happen are the Final Destination movies. They don't scare me, but do make me stop and think about them.
I think Mimic 2 was the movie two of my friends were extras in. I can never remember which one. lol
