Also.

I think it really, fully shows how totally chickenshit am that Scary Movie III scares me.

I mean, really.


I know why it is, though- I can't cope with suspense and tension, and what scary movie does is it elaborates tension using horror film ripoffs, and then makes you laugh by breaking the tension absurdly- btu I hate it so much I, um, leave the room before it gets funny.

Okay, okay, I'm a wimp.

When the original Halloween came out, I was working in James Smiths (it was still a big department store then) and a bunch of us used to hang out together. We all decided to go to the film except 2 who'd already seen it. It was the first real horror film I'd been to, I think, and I hated it. Gary kept leaning across his girlfriend and grabbing my knee making me scream. At half-time (yes, these were the goode olde days), the two guys behind me asked if I was going to stop screaming or should they move.
I told them to move.
They did.

Anyway, after the movie we all piled back to somebody's flat (checking the backseat before we got into the car) for a drink, wondering why Craig and Mark weren't home. At which point all the lights went out and someone wearing a Frankenstein mask with a knife smacked up against the glass. Screaming abounded, but it was indeed Craig and Mark who thought they'd play a little joke. ha. ha.

Apart from Alien (which I treated as SF and went to see in the middle of the afternoon, just in case) I don't think I've voluntarily sat through an entire horror movie since.

But you're still a wimp for blowing off a Scary Movie ;-)

*shudders* I could never, ever watch a horror movie in a theatre. I had to walk out of The Talented Mr Ripley, and that barely counts, there are what, three murders? Anywaym I frankly admire your bravery in staying the whole thing. :p

Half-time? I remember they used to have that at The Embassy... we'd get icecreams. *licks lips* Ah, those were the days. ;)

>.< My brothers used to do stuff like that.. actually, most recently, well, my sister is scared of the dark, right? Not the dark inside the house, but outside. So when she goes down to the dairy or whatever at night I have to go with her. And we were heading down for icecream, or something, and the boys hid in the car and pretended to be murdering each other. It was the most terrifying experience of my life, which probably shows that I haven't quite gotten over my own fear of the dark... ;)

Yeah, well, at least I know it. :P

I hated the Blair Witch Project and left my lights on for a few nights after. Barely slept too.

I once got asked to call up some friends of mine who were having a slumber party (all female, duh) after they had watched Scream. I held down mute so it sounded wierd on their end and they all freaked out.

Also, Scary Movie 3 is actually quite spooky, particularly the damn Ring Girl who keeps wandering around... Urgh.
