I remember when I was about five or six, I walked into the living room and my dad was watching TV. The movie being shown was black and white, and it featured a young woman taking a shower. Then, the dark shape of a man brandishing a knife appears, pulls open the curtains, and SCREECH SCREECH SCREECH SCREECH! The knife went down, the girl screamed, and the blood circled the drain. That movie moment scared the piss out of me.

A year or so later, I was being babysat by my grandmother, who had turned the channel to an interesting movie. There was a girl at the prom, seemingly on top of the world, when suddenly a bucket of blood fell onto her. The doors slammed shut, the lights went red, and people began dying. I was absolutely terrified, not just by the people being killed in such interesting manners, but by the ghastly look on the girls face as she destroyed the room. Later, she went home, and after a shocking series of events, crucified her mother, another scene which left me in need of some new jeans.

If you couldn't tell, I was referring to Psycho and Carrie, respectively. I used to be sooooo afraid of scary movies, so afraid in fact that I couldn't bear to watch them. As a youth I was scared away from the Exorcist when I saw Regan spider-walk down the stairs, and I never even gave The Ring a try. I was too damn afraid of getting scared. I hated it.

But as I got a little bit older, I stumbled across an interesting film. Night of the Living Dead. It had zombies, which I had already loved thanks to the Resident Evil games, so I gave it a try. I wasn't scared much, but the movie did spark my interest in the horror movie genre.

I became brave enough to watch other scary movies. Dawn of the Dead, Hellraiser, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Fly, Jaws, and many more. I suppose I became obsessed with horror. I felt an otherworldly high whenever I was scared. Jesus, being scared is better than sex, I tell you! Now, I can't get enough of the horror movies. I've watched recent films, and I love them all. Tonight I plan on buying/renting Suspiria. Looks good.

So, tell me about all of your horrifying movie experiences.
