Scary Movies Anyone?

I absolutely LOVE scary movies. You can ask any of my friends because I can guarantee they will say I am obsessed with them. Now I don't necessarily think that is true because of course I love all the other types of movies out there, but there is just something about them that makes me want to watch them every chance I get. It is actually kind of strange that I do love them because I used to be deathly afraid of anything close to scary. I remember going to friends houses when I was little, possibly in elementary, and their older brothers or sisters would be sitting on the couch watching a scary TV show, movie, or even commercial and I would freak out! It wasn't until around eighth grade that I started to realize how dumb I was for being scared.
I started seeing the movies from a different perspective, you know, realizing how fake some of them really are; that definitely helps the scary level of the film. Also, I related the movie to everyday life. If you watched a scary movie about a serial killer coming and slaughtering you or someone else, of course you would be scared and freak out but you shouldn't. What are the chances of you randomly getting killed in a freak accident... very slim!
Today, though, I don't have to really think about anything. I watch a scary movie, those pee-your-pants ones, and I go to bed. Sometimes I'll even watch one by myself, doesn't bother me much. Of course there are those movies that still get to me and get me shaken up but that's the point. I think that is the true reason why I like them so much. I think I like the feeling of overcoming my fears and seeing that I am truly not going to "die" from watching one. If your one of those people that still can't stand even a scary commercial, you need to face it! Believe me, you will figure out just how "killer" they really are.
