Scare Vic Day One Outcome

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!

What's Your Favorite Scary Movie?

I LOVE watching scary movies.

It's a fact and if we ever hang out, you can bet your pretty ass that I'm going to suggest that we watch a scary movie.

Not because I like to be scared, but because I like to scare other people and laugh at the movies.

Because these movies don't scare me.

They try, gods know that they do, but they always fall short.  Paranormal Activity?  Laughed.  Paranormal Activity 2? Laughed Harder.  Drag Me to Hell?  Walked out because I thought it was stupid.

The last time I watched a movie that scared me?  I was 10 and I believe the movie was either Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th or Halloween IV.  Can't remember which movie it was.  I haven't been scared by a movie since.

Now every year around Halloween it has become a game between my friends and I to spend the weekend of Halloween watching every scary movie that we can find in order to find one that's going to scare me.  We don't go to costume parties because, well, we went to Halloween Horror Nights and realized that Halloween is the best time to kill someone and get away with it.  So we've been staying inside watching movies where people get killed instead.  It makes sense if you don't think about it.  And yes, we're all a trifle paranoid about that, but most of us are military vets, or law enforcement, or students, or parents, so we're all the paranoid people.  We've been doing it for the last five years.

We haven't found a movie yet.

So I thought it would be fun to see what you guys's favorite scary movie is.  Maybe there's one that I haven't seen that will actually scare me, because I'm looking for a really good scare.

Or a really good laugh.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
