I avoid movies with vampires (usually, Let the Right One In was exceptionally good, though) and werewolves, but don't mind the zombie ones much, even though I also don't believe in any of the. Ghost and demon movies are my favorite because the opportunities are endless (and always squandered!). Serial killer movies are typically just too gory and lack a story line, though there are exceptions there too.<br /><br />You're the second person to tell me Cabin in the Woods is really good, so I'm going to have to watch it! Lady in White as a title just sounds good, so that'll go on the list too. :)Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891790511823931595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026240237256835836.post-51714427326879683962014-11-12T10:32:04.987-06:002014-11-12T10:32:04.987-06:00This is a pretty fascinating post for me.

I *don't* like scary movies, and I don't particularly enjoy being scared, but Jake really loves both, so over the course of our relationship, my stance has changed somewhat. It's still basically the same; I don't like being scared. Things that scare me tend to linger in my imagination and keep me up at night, which then effects my sleep patterns, and then I'm grumpy until it all smooths out. It's a ripple effect. If it's vampires, werewolves, or zombies (eg- things I truly don't believe in), this isn't a problem. Things I don't believe in don't effect my sleep. But I can'tcan'tcan't do serial killers, and ghosts are right on an uncomfortable line for me. <br /><br />That said, I really like suspense, and a story well told. So I tend to love Hitchcock movies, and the Shining. I love scary movies that cross into a campy fun zone, like Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead, and slowly I am moving more towards liking 'proper' horror movies, as long as they walk a very careful line. I loved Cabin in the Woods, and really enjoyed the newer Fright Night. Jake's childhood favorite is Lady in White. Okay, this got long. But this is a really interesting topic to me!elizahttp://ifandany.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026240237256835836.post-78680294693639383202014-10-31T17:47:17.876-05:002014-10-31T17:47:17.876-05:00Haha, I get scared thinking back on it too.

However, I did read House of Leaves and sometimes I'll think about it and still be scared. I don't know why I did that to myself.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12757142200652814214noreply@blogger.com
