The Livin' Is Easy
French toast for breakfast. (I haven't made that in about 20 years.)
Morning at the farmer's market.
Burgers on the grill for lunch.
Meals on the back porch for both.
Three sit-down meals with my husband in a row! (I think that's a record.)
S1 SPN. "Wendigo" and "Dead in the Water." Ah, yes. Good stuff.
And last night? The Haunting in Connecticut. Oy! Talk about a freaky, make-you-gasp-make-you-jump movie. I remember when it came out, I thought it looked really good, but that it also looked a little too intense for me. Well, we watched it last night on Netflix on demand.
This was a PG-13 horror flick, so the was more with the starts and scares than the gore and slash. In order to be closer to the hospital so the oldest son can be part of test for a new cancer treatment, the Campbell family rents a house that used to be a funeral home. The dying son decides he wants the basement for his bedroom, which is where, it turns out, the morgue was.
Creepiness, apparitions, weird happenings, and visions/hallucinations ensue. There were a couple of times when I actually gasped out loud at something appearing suddenly, and the skill in these kinds of movies is the talent of not over-playing the scares. In many respects, it actually reminded me of early SPN that'd had its Wheaties that morning. Things aren't as they appear, there were times when I actually watched through my afghan, and it got to the point where I started demanding a salt-and-burn.
Yes, the more I think about it, the more I think that SPN fans will very much like this movie.
The types of scares are very similar to those in The Sixth Sense, though perhaps amped up a bit.
Oh! And it also uses one of the creepiest poems I think I've ever heard (also used in Identity):
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
I wish, I wish he’d go away...
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn’t see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don’t you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don’t slam the door... (slam!)
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away
And it didn't freak me out quite as much as Paranormal Activity 2, which still gives me the heebie-jeebies when I think about it.
So, yeah. Give it a look-see some night this summer.
