Now, I'll watch some thrillers/suspense ones, but gory ones - nope! I always say I have an overactive imagination. I simply cannot sleep for weeks - jump at shadows - just can't do it. Even the ones I have seen - YEARS ago - I can still see vivid scenes from in my head. Nope not for me!berrypatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549788623907370094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-86073369137597323852008-12-09T19:53:00.000-05:002008-12-09T19:53:00.000-05:00So, did your older brother PETE show you some of t...So, did your older brother PETE show you some of these movies???Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729503147294461398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-59188827993940024142008-12-09T14:09:00.000-05:002008-12-09T14:09:00.000-05:00I should clarify the Children of the Corn.

It was voted to watch Children of the Corn. My mom found out when I came home disturbed. He didn't work there too much longer. Later after college I found out he became a principal in that school system. So hopefully he learned somthing.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475107479874994178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-83713461859922772252008-12-09T13:57:00.000-05:002008-12-09T13:57:00.000-05:00I feel the same way about scary/horror movies.

I still have terrible memories of that one. <BR/>I saw part of the Exorcist, too and that terrified me. <BR/>I ran & jumped into my bed for the rest of my growing up years-just so nothing could grab me by the ankles.<BR/>I went to see "Silence of the Lambs w/ my dh (then boyfriend) & friends-I walked out after 5 minutes of it.<BR/>I have a blogger blog now, along w/ the HSblog one.

The former was very disturbing with evil/devil themes. There is a scene in that movie that still disturbs me when I think about it. But the more recent movie with Nicole Kidman... that was very well done, a "boo-scary" ghost story with a fabulous twist ending that totally got me the first time I saw it.

I only saw the first few moments but have been scared ever since and have never, ever wanted to see that movie.<BR/><BR/>Of course, once we got a tv after NOT having one for our first 12 years of marriage (convinced to get one AFTER going to a week of Gothard Basic Youth Conflicts...lol), we got a hold of all the old Hitchcock movies that mom would NOT let us watch.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I really liked the movie the Others. Have never seen the OTHER but will have to. Have never liked any Stephen King either movies or books in the slightest.<BR/><BR/>Was certainly scared by the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz and still find them scary...in general don't like any scary movies unless believable...hence Hitchcock.<BR/><BR/>Really, even lots of Twilight Zones aren't all that scary to me. I think we need to protect our children from horror.<BR/><BR/>The scariest movies are those most likely to occur IMHO. Hitchcock was scary because of believability.Vagabond Recon777https://www.blogger.com/profile/11061995443746268975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-88464281619414005982008-12-08T23:08:00.000-05:002008-12-08T23:08:00.000-05:00I loved scary movies when I was younger, not so mu...I loved scary movies when I was younger, not so much now. I think they are too close to the truth and now they scare me way too much. My Dad used to tell me scary ghost stories when I was little so I think that was where it all started! lol! I have not see "The Other" and I thought I had seen every scary movie out there...

I don't tolerate very much gore anymore and if there is a real devil/Satanic theme going on I will probably steer clear. <BR/><BR/>When I was about 8, the movie "Jaws" was released. I begged and begged my Dad to take me, but he didn't. Then when it came back to the theaters on its second run (remember when movies did that?) He did take my brother and I to a matinee... but I was so scared from watching it that I complained that he should never have taken me! LOL It's one of my favorite movies now, though.<BR/><BR/>We have been pretty careful about what our kids can watch (they are 12 and 10 now). This past Halloween we recorded "Poltergeist" on TiVo and they enjoyed that. Actually, they may have been a little bored by it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-5148236991685433832008-12-08T22:20:00.000-05:002008-12-08T22:20:00.000-05:00I snuck behind the couch and watched Silence of th...I snuck behind the couch and watched Silence of the Lambs when I was 7. That movie gave me nightmares for a long time. Also, there was a movie where a guy camoflauges himself to look like the wall, and then he opens his eyes. I can't remember the name, but that was freaky too.<BR/><BR/>My youngest daughter is afraid of Venom in the Spiderman cartoon, so no we don't do anything scary, even remotely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-48644135913223427872008-12-08T20:45:00.000-05:002008-12-08T20:45:00.000-05:00I love scary books, real mystery, scared to turn t...I love scary books, real mystery, scared to turn the page books, but that is because it is in my imagination, not over keen on real horror flicks though.

My fifth grade teacher showed us Children of the Corn and I don't think I would be able to go through one of those corn mazes without flashbacks.
