Remember when you could watch a scary movie and not think about the impossibility about it all; no there wouldn't only be one phone is the house and it was only downstairs or no a person couldn't sneak into a persons home while they weren't looking all while they are only an inch away from the door. It may sound illogical to stress such minor details but you'd be surprised what sorts of things give away the stupidity that lies within horror movie characters. That feeling when you want to scream "Don't open the door!" or "TURN AROUND!!" all while having an ominous feeling that this is the first of many to come.
I remember being 6 years younger and up at Lake Berryessa when I first saw 'The Ring' an American take on a Japanese horror film. At first glance it seemed stupid, people having a mere seven days before they would die in some mysterious way with the after effect of either a distorted face or a simple medical problem. However, later into the movie it seemed to scare me, make me afraid of what was a little girl killing people out of spite for all those who are allowed to live aside from her. Stupid if you ask me yet for some reason I was stricken with fear, shaking all over and fly every time I heard a noise I didn't expect.
As you grow older, your logic starts to take control of your inability to be afraid of the known, you know for a fact that things like a man being cut to pieces can't regenerate, and people can't get away with a town wide massacre simply because he is 7 foot tall and wears a hockey goalie mask. So what is it then that as children we fear so much? What about these stories makes such unable to turn our heads and figure out that it is not possible. It could be that same thing makes us afraid of the dark when we are young, or jump when we are startled. Is it a mental thing or a psychological thing? What about these movies with such obvious holes in possibilities makes us so startled? Who knows but our own subconscious, that which we cannot tap into so simply. A shame really...we have so much possibilities within ourselves but no way of unlocking it.
