Halloween Movie Meme

October31

Happy Halloween!  I took this meme from Zoot (see sidebar).

I have a love/hate relationship with scary movies. I love to be scared but I hate the gore. So I sit and watch the movies with my hand ready to cover my eyes at any moment. That is why my favorites on this list are probably Silence of the Lambs and The Shining – high freaked out factor, low on the gore scale. I think Saw tops the list on the gore scale. And The Ring is probably the one that disturbed me the most. I don’t remember being incredibly scared – just disturbed for hours after watching it. The horse going off the ferry was one of the worst scenes for me.

Bold those you’ve seen.
Italicize movies you have started but couldn’t finish.
Add an asterisk* to those you have watched more than once.
Underline those on your To Watch list.

    I’m like you too, love the scary hate the gore. Although I have this thing about aliens so I “watched” signs by facing backwards.
