Movies.......

So the girl child is out tonight, and I was clicking away at my report cards-and Hubby was downstairs watching old movies.

I went down and he was watching The Birds. That is the one movie I cannot watch! It scares the hell out of me. Always has. So I got to thinking...

What movies can you absolutely NOT watch?? What movies drives you nutso? What movies scares the you know what out of you??

For me....it is ...The Birds.

Re Movies.......

There are a LOT. Sophie's Choice... O.M.G. cannot watch. That is worse than any horror movie to me now.

Re Movies.......

Candyman. I freaked out probably about 10 minutes before the end and made my boyfriend turn it off. I couldn't take another second of it.

Re Movies.......

I saw Jaws when I was five. That was super traumatic. I had nightmares for most of my childhood revolving around sharks trying to eat my mother and I.

I haven't found a movie that scared me as an adult. Some are gross. I don't like watching some gross movies. But none make the hair on the back of my neck stand up or get my blood pulsing.

I saw Mist last night. I was hopeful that it would scare me. The only thing that scared me during the movie is that New Yorkers talk to the movie screens.

The Blob.

And thanks to my loving brother, I can no longer eat Jello, either.

Re Movies.......

Oh yeah.. the Chucky movies. When I was babysitting, I'd make my aunt take my cousin's Teddy Ruxpin with them in the car so it wasn't in the house. Still don't like talking dolls.

Teddy Ruxpin is WAY creepier than Chucky, anyway.

Re Movies.......

Chucky was kind of cute. My cousin and I had the Chucky dolls when we were "kids." I think I was 10ish, so I was enjoying it for the creep factor rather than the "oh look, a talking dolly" factor.

I'll be your friend til the end!

I liked Childsplay a lot as a kid. And Poltergeist, the Exorcist, Amityville, all those movies from the 80s.

I'd like to watch Amityville as an adult. I'd like to know if it still is a bit scary or not. It was my favorite movie as a tween.

Re Movies.......

Movies we can't watch because of the ick/creepiness factor? then, anything with Will Farrell in it.

Re Movies.......

Chucky freaks me too. Not as much as Candyman, but still.

Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna play?

Chucky is doll-icious.

Re Movies.......

Well, this was a mini-series, but Jeremy has it on DVD: Stephen King's Storm of the Century. And y'all know how much I love SK...but I just can't take that movie. The ending beyond creeps me out.

Pet Sematary I watched through my fingers. But I'd already read the book (read a page, scream "I'm too scared", put down book for about 3 minutes, can't stand the suspense. Rinse, repeat.) and knew what was coming.

No, not yet. Probably will not see until it's on DVD or dish.

Re Movies.......

The only horror movie that's really scared me as an adult was Blair Witch. I swear, I had heart palpitations.

I should watch it again some time.

Re Movies.......

See, I thought Blair Witch was hilarious. I ended up garage saleing it because no one would watch it after the first time.

Re Movies.......

Blair Witch?
I thought Blair Witch had some great marketing to make anyone see it. Although, that movie could be responsible for the fact that I HATE rooms painted red and why I always think of death when I'm in one.
