Scary Things & Halloween

[swhisted]

There’s no doubt, I’ve always been a big chicken. But I’m one of those chickens that loves to scare the crap out of myself. I purposely endure scary things just because I live for the thrill. I push myself to the extreme at times to overcome my fear and while my efforts don’t always work, they do weaken the effects scary things have on me, or at

Isn’t it always fun to have a friend with your same name? It can be difficult at times, but still fun.

Goosebumps was a really good creepy kid’s show. The books (the ones I read at least) weren’t bad either. Don’t feel bad, they scared me too back then.

I also tend to look for the comedy in horror films, because it’s almost always the case where you’re thinking there’s no way you’d be as dumb as the actors, like running upstairs when something is after you. Seriously, where will you go once they follow you? Duh. But people do it all of the time. Still, the quality of scary movies is so well done now (even with the bits of humor) that sometimes they can still get me with the fear factor.

I LOVE HORROR MOVIES

Heather, not seeing all of the classics is like a sin. I’m all for the B-rated movies in the Walmart bin, but come on! You have to see the classics, you just have too! They’re cheap as dirt now too and at minimum rent them from somewhere. You don’t understand what you’ve missed if you LOVE horror movies the way you obviously do

I know, I really need to see the classics! (And I do plan to someday. Honest!) I just have this bad habit of gravitating toward movies that I have never, ever heard of. No expectations!

And I'm so glad to hear that you're still willing to read those WIPs! I tend to handle possessions differently than movies do (depending on what mythology I'm adapting), so hopefully my versions won't wig you out too much. ;)

I won't lie to you Sarah.

The pictures in this post were freaking me out so much that I almost couldn't read it!

Clearly, I'm the whimpy kid of the group. :)

Also, someone told me (as in VERBALLY) the basic story of IT by Stephen King in the third grade (it was a girl named Margo, she was horrid) and I made my sisters come to the bathroom with me and open the fridge for me for like a week. That's ONE thing little sister's are good for... anti-boogy-monster-shield! :)

Aw, I love your whimpyness. There always has to be one in a group so don't feel bad. I'm the mushy one, it could be a lot worse. I'll be that one crushing you all with 'love.'

Isn't it funny though how when you're scared you can't even go to the bathroom alone? When any other time the idea of going to the bathroom (something very private) with other people is unheard of? I was the same way though. Unfortunately, my little sister was even more of a chicken then me so she was no real protection. She was even scared of Raggedy Ann and Andy.
