I've always avoided horror movies. The suspense, intensity and gore just disgust me and leave me feeling shaken and having unpleasant images running through my head. Right now though, I'm trying to watch the series Higurashi no naku koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry) because I heard of it somewhere and wanted to see what it was about. I wasn't aware until I started the first episode that it was, contrary to looks, a kind of suspense/horror anime. I'm up to episode 8 so far and while nothing so far has been TOO graphically horrible, I've had the episode on pause for a few hours because I think something I really don't want to watch is about to happen. I kinda wish I weren't so squeamish about this sort of thing, because I'd really like to be able to watch the rest of the series and the follow-up series and see the mystery unravel, because that part of the story has me curious. I'm not sure I have the stomach for that though, because I know I'll have to watch a fair number of gruesome deaths along the way. Bleh.
