I don’t like scary. It’s okay for those of you that do..but i just don’t like it. I don’t mind a couple of kid-friendly sorta creepy Halloween docorations but I don’t do scary. Don’t read scary books, don’t even want to see the previews for scary movies. No thanks. Overheard a couple of girls talking about a haunted house called 13 Stories of Horror. Apparently as you moved from room-to-room or floor-to-floor, it got worse and worse. It supposedly taps into every fear someone could have. If you actually make it all the way through, they refund the price of your ticket. Apparently this hardly ever happens. No thank you. Not my cup of tea. I’ll stick to Caspar the Friendly Ghost.:d

I don’t do scary either. Because I am a wuss. :-)

Right there with you. I don’t do horror anything–no books, no movies, no Halloween haunted houses (now, REAL haunted houses could be a different story).
Strange thing is, I LOVED horror stuff when I was in my teens–Stephen King was one of my favorite authors and I lived in the horror section of the bookstore. I watched every bloody scream movie made. Not now. I let DG talk me into watching The Ring a couple of years ago and I still get the willies just thinking about it.
Yet I’m oddly addicted to True Crime shows on Court TV and L&O shows. Hmmm.
I really am weird. :s

Nope, not for me either. Any of it, no how, no way. Don’t bother me with it. Have a wonderful Monday.

Rhonda, I’ll share the wuss title with you. :d
Kimberly, whaddaya think changed it for you? I read The Other and couldn’t sleep for six months. I think that pretty much did it for me. And then when I was 16 I went through a “haunted” house with some friends. You know, one of those you paid admission to and they’d set up fake walls and stuff. Anyway, this gross thing jumped out and grabbed my arm — I went through the wall — literally. I was so scared, I knocked down their temporary wall to get out. :[ They weren’t very happy with me. Last time I went through one of those.
Ginger, note the above.

The last Haunted House I went through scared me so bad that I sat down in the hallway and refused to move. After the line backed up far enough, one of the workers walked ahead of me and told all the scary folks to chill until I got through. I was about 15–not my coolest teen moment.
I don’t know exactly when my tastes changed or why. I know it was about the time I started reading more romance! :) The strange thing is, the true crime shows horrify me and make me paranoid, but it’s the horror movies that give me nightmares about those things happening to AC. Go figure. I’ll have nightmares about AC getting possessed by demons but not about serial killers. Hmmm.
(AC possessed by demons–that would actually explain some behavior of late…

I am a chicken when it comes to scary stuff. I can’t even watch a horror movie because then I won’t be able to sleep for a few nights. How bad is that? :s

LOL! Kimberly at your refusal to go through! I love it! Ya know, I can watch those true crime shows too, just not the creepy movies. Wonder what that says about us? :p
Barbara, I’m right there with you!
