anecdote time!
i was adding horror movies to my netflix today, and it make me think of all the moments i was actually scared/scarred by a movie. here is an pussy-fied list:
movie: the neverending story:
ok, this was when i was little. and i admit i was even scared of care bears. for real.
movie: pet cemetary
fucking zelda and her spinal meningitis!! uuuugh i still want to hide/puke just thinking about zelda.
movie: fire in the sky
don't know why. that movie just bothers me.
movie: jack the bear
i don't really remember it at all. it was when i was a little kid. but it made me ultra-paranoid.
movie: the ring
whatever, don't front. the first time i saw this i found myself gnawing on my friend morgan's leather jacket. this follows a pattern of me taking my fear out on the person seated next to me. every time i got too scared i would punch him. it was only scary the first time though.
movie: the descend / descent (whatever)
i have major major fears stemming from claustrophobia. this movie killed me. ugh. i saw it in the theater with wayne (from college fuck fest!). true to form, i hit him soo many times in the arm that he had bruises. i thought i was going to faint from claustrophobia. ugh. i was nauseous.
movie: the shining
every fucking time.
fun fact #1
one of my uncles (twice removed) was./is a horror director. his movies are not scary.
fun fact #2
i had a huge crush on 'candyman' as a kid.
fun fact #3
once, my parents noticed that there was piano music echoing through our house. real piano music, not just racket. they found me, age 2, sitting at the piano -- and the music stopped as soon as the opened the glass door to the piano room.
but yeah, i suck. i was scared of carebears. i grew up in the most evil house ever. so i was already as messed up kid. our house was so fucking haunted. plus, it was on an ISLAND. and it was the ONLY house on the island. in creepy new england.
i think h.p. lovecraft wrote my childhood.
