Scary movies- I blame Halloween for my TiVo treating me so eerily
Because of the fact that I live alone, I don't tend to watch too many scary movies. Unless it's one I've seen before and don't truly find "scary." Like any of the Scream movies. Don't get me wrong- there are some scary moments, but because I expect them, it doesn't freak me out. I love scary movies though. Which has certainly posed a dilemma leading up to (and post) Halloween. See, every station was showing scary movies almost all last month. And my TiVo loves to surprise me with shows and movies it thinks I might like. As an aside, is it sad that I refer to Siri as a she, but TiVo (who has been with me for years) is merely an it? I should name it. Or at least refer to it as a he. Anyway, back to the blog. TiVo hit me up with some great scary movies- Poltergeist, The Ring, Last House on the Left, Final Destination. Good stuff. Last night, I watched Scream 2. Today, I've watched Last House on the Left and The Ring. Last House was a little more brutal than scary. The Ring, on the other hand, very scary. But I've noticed something about myself. The more scared I am, the more I talk to the TV. Like during The Ring, Naomi Watts was on the ferry and tried talking to a horse. The horse started freaking out. She continued to try to pet the horse and calm the horse. I was screaming at the TV, "Get the hell away from the horse! Are you stupid? If an animal seems scared of you, go away." And then when her son watched the tape, I was like "Who leaves a tape like that lying around for their child to find? And what kid just grabs a random video? Oh, I know, a creepy ass kid like that one." I'm thinking, maybe no more scary movies for me for a while....
