Monsters WILL eat me.

Last night I got totally shit-my-pants scared. FROM A HORROR MOVIE. A big budget blockbuster movie. Yeah. Can you believe that? Monsters, zombies, ghosts, vampires, mummy's, serial killers and the such are my absolute favorite, and I get freaked out by a flick that billions of 14 yr old girls saw, and probably laughed at.
Maybe it's because I was alone. I don't know. All I do know is that it's the first time I've slept with my light on in like, 15 years.
I woke up soaking wet from lucid, scream in my sleep nightmares. Which was actually kind of cool, I must admit. There's nothing like a dream so wicked, so crazy and unrealistic to get your liquids shaken. Imaginations are the BEST! I was an awesome little kid in that area.
I'm not going to say the name of the movie, cuz I know I'll be laughed right out the ranks of Fangoria, so forget it.

I have to go take a shower. Keep in mind that my bathroom is unattached to my apartment, so in order to get ready for my cleansing, I have to put on my helmet to protect my delicious brains from zombies, stuff garlic in my bathrobe pockets, find my New Orleans rosary, bring my cat with me, sprinkle salt after every step I take, baseball bat under my towel, and run run run screaming like a maniac for all 6 paces to the safety of my bathtub. Lock the door. Catch my breath, eyes open even as I wash my head and face, then find the courage to get back to my pad safely.

Daylight can't save me now.

I have to know! But I will guess that it's an M. Night Shyamalin or however that guy spells his name. hmmmm... The Village is my first guess, Signs is the second. I don't scare, unless it's true, like serial killer stuff. Only true stories scare me.

Hmm could it be The Grudge? I only ask because a couple of my coworkers saw it when it came out. They talk about how scary it was all.of.the.time. They put pictures of characters from it in each others' lockers and scare each other.

One of these coworkers is a guy that is also in the Coast Guard - a big tuff guy, right? He admits to screaming like a little girl throughout most of the movie. And I've heard reports that he was sitting in the theatre hanging all over his wife, feet tucked up under him, because it was so creepy. I haven't seen it, so who knows.

I won't laugh at you! I'm not allowed to watch horror movies with my friends anymore cause they say I make too much noise, and when we rented The Ring, /i made them keep the lights on. So come on, spill!

Don't fret. I still can't watch The Shining in the dark. And I'm in my thirties.
