So in high school, I used to watch the 'slasher' horror films all the time, I even wrote a paper about the genre.
This is how obsessed with the genre I was. Well last night I was messing around on my computer and decided to go on 'imdb.com' and look up trivia on random movies. This proved to be a mistake as I started typing in horror films and this lead to me looking at their trailers. Well I thought that I could watch the trailers and parts of the movies with no trouble, I was wrong. I ended staying up later than I wanted to, since after you watch a horror film you don't go to bed- you have to watch something happy or sleep with the lights on.
The choice I picked was watching "I am Number Four". This movie was interesting and while I had heard about it from some people, it was just touch and go stuff, nothing too serious or in depth. The main thing I remember about "I am Number Four" is thinking how much I want to watch "Beastly" again (it also stars Alex Pettyfer) and how I really want a dog like the one John had. Even before the dog shifted into the amazing monster, I wanted that cute puppy. At the end of the film I was waiting to find out if the DOG survived not if the human or humanoid characters survived. This is how much I liked this dog.
Arg... I'm going off on random tangents again. I apologize, now back to the horror stuff. So I came to realize that even though I could watch the slasher movies no problem before, now I look away or fast forward through the gory scenes. Now I'm not talking the 'safe' horror films, I watched parts of "Hatchet II", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series, and some others. These movies are intense if you're wondering.
I just thought I'd tell you that I can no longer watch the horror films that I used to be able to watch. I wonder what this means,especially with Halloween coming up. Maybe I'll make a horror list, from the movies I used to watch or maybe I'll just go for the cutesy Halloween product (Great Pumpkin, anyone?) we shall see what happens, until then I will be pining for John's dog.
Hocus Pocus is my favorite Halloween movie!!!
