yeah im going to a party, it should be fun, i guess, but last party i went to these three drunk idiots got on an atv and started chasing tricker treaters, everyone got so mad at them
DoomedOne
I'm not really into halloween, not my holiday. Likewise I don't do much. It made me realize though, how sick our culture is as I began binging on horror movies. It's like, the author tries to create the most screwed uo thing he can. "Audition," the Japanese film... I dare anyone to watched it, but be warned it is totally screwed up. "May," that's another one that creeped me out. What other sick horror movies are there? Well there's also the fact that they can keep making Hellraiser, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elmstreet, Chucky, Gremlins, etcetera and keep making money off of them.
Florodine of Hlaalu
yeah i really dont like horror movies, its just another way for disgusting people to show different ways for people to get chopped up
Wurlon
I haven't watched one horror movie in years that has scared me, I watched the Exorcist for the first time last Friday, did not affect me as people said it affected them. Horror movies usually seem stupid, as time progresses with them the actions repeat and are predictable... so basically I can tell when something jumps out. Some movies, like Saw, are completely idiotical .. a person cannot chop their foot off with a handsaw and crawl away for help without going into shock minutes later or fainting... I hated that movie.
Florodine of Hlaalu
Yeah the exorcist wasnt scary at all, but my dad saids its because now a days we're used to much better special effects. Saw sucked, im not going to watch teh second one. The two ring movies were well made, but i didnt like them, and all other ones arent even worth mentioning
DoomedOne
Not even that though, those are just gore flicks. Like frankly I thought Saw was a very good movie even though it was a horror film. But like, I dare anyone in here to see the foreign film, "Audition," with a helpful reminder, it will hamster you up. Some films are just gore-flicks, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Some are just slashers, like Michael Myers and Jason and and Freddy and all those creeps. Some films are true horror stories though. Some movies just delve so deeply into how much can the author psychological screw up the main characters, or how long can he make the audience feel uncomfortable after seeing the movie. The Vanishing, Deliverance, May, Last House on the Left, all examples.

As far as Horror movies go, the only ones I like are phychological thrillers. The ones that tease your mind. Not so much the bloody/gory/chopping mass murdering ones.

There's a personality test, Would you survive a Horror movie?

Apparently, I would.

My results:
You Are So Alive.

No psycho slayer is going to get between you and your right to life. You're an boat-kicker, a charge taker, and if need be, a monster masher. You're level-headed in sticky situations, you trust yout instincts, and you're not afraid to get a little dirty while getting the job done. Simply put, you rock! But don't get carried away. Even though your little brother might act like a creep sometimes, you definately shouldn't be driving stakes through his heart.


I finally convinced my parents that I was a little old to be Trick or Treating. I told my mom that I was going to hang out with some friends instead. She got upset because I wouldn't tell her which friends (I value my privacy-and my freedom- too much to tell her) untill I told her the truth, I didn't know, I hadn't made plans, I was just going to see if I could find any of my friends, and wasn't going to tag along with her and my two younger siblings.

I had been begging her to either let me go trick or treating alone/without them or for her to let me stay home, to no avail, for years now. She likes having someone around who can talk on an even level with her, and I'm the only one she can find, apparently.

I ended up wandering around one friend's neighborhood for an hour and a half, looking for her. I couldn't find her, went to another friend's house, kicked his butt in a game I had never played before, and started home. I took a wrong turn on the way home because there is a shortcut that involves going off a dead end road, cutting through some guy's backyard, jumping a stream, and running through twenty feet of trees to get to my backyard. I took a wrong turn to get to the dead end road, had to turn around, and finally found the right road. The stream was flooded too much to jump, so I had to carefully step across on stepping stones barely above the water, in the dark, with no flash lights, or moonlight (cloudy tonight) and only a little ambient light from the street (blocked by trees) to guide me. Everything looked like it was in shades of grey. I then picked my way through the little strip of trees, and made it in about four minutes before they told me to be there or they would lock the doors and I could sleep outside. (I have keys, I don't give a hamster. Besides, my bedroom is in the basement, I can slip in through the window.)



Well, there was my wonderful Halloween.
DoomedOne
I forgot tonight was Halloween. God it's nearly 11 and now I suddenly have an urge to sneak out. I dunno though I did see a raven (Or a massive crow) outside my window. I don't believe in omens but that was the first time I've seen a raven in my life (or a crow that big).

Anyway, tomorrow is the real day. Samhain! Represent! Today is just the feast day, the day made in celebration of the end of the cycle of life and death) Earlier in the year is the harvest day, then we have the feast day before the long period of nothing, and finally we have the The Day of Planting in December (one the day after the Winter Solstice), followed by the feast on the 25th in celebration of a successful planting and to give good luck to a new year. I'm rambling now. Modern Wiccans have taken many celtic holy days of farming and separated them into 8 sabbats. These hoyl days were original associated with farming, feast days following the day of planting, the first sprout, the harvest, etcetera.

Michael Myers is not a movie, the movies with him in it are titled "Halloween" and there are five plus halloween ressurection. The only character I liked in any of those movies was the poor doctor who tried to treat Michael....

and that horror movie test didn't work, it said I would not survive because I wouldn't pick up the knife for the first question....

hehehe I wanted to get the Halloween theme as a ring tone for my dads cell phone. It would've been pretty funny for it to start ringing and he would be like..."what the hell?"

Heh that would be awesome to get the famous Exorcist music as a ringtone (the music that plays when she walks by the buildings or whatever)

No wurlon:

1. I know it's called Halloween, don't take me for a fool because of a technicality. His name is Michael Myers. I call Jason Movies Jason movies instead of friday the 13th because he's an iconic villain, it's just easier. Trust my wurlon, you do not know more about the horror genre than I do.

2. There are 7 movies. My evidence of this was the working title for Halloween Ressurection was Halloween 7.

Halloween = r0x.

As for Horror Moves, I'm not much of a Horror movie guy, I'll watch one if it has a interesting premise or Werewolves or another interesting critter in it, but thats about it.
And the only Werewolf Horror film i've only really seen American Werewolf in Paris. Van Helsing and The Brother Grimm aren't entirely horror, though they did have their moments (no-face! Hehe!). tongue.gif

And I of course, only watch those for the Werewolf/critter. I like cheering them on as most horror movie characters are so hamster cave dumb it hurts.

I don't like slasher films, except for the nightmare on elmstreet series, and then only a few of them. The first Friday movie was also pretty cool. Other thah that slashers are just snooze-fests. Horrors are grat for their twists though. Like Saw had one of those new age twists that are sort of corny but I loved it so much when I saw it.

I know what I would do. Get the hell out of there. Or ignore the sound, if it was in my current home, where loud sounds are normal. Of course, nobody is going to sneak into my home without me knowing. I have a German Shepard Husky. He barks at everything, so I know everytime there is anyone anywhere near my home.

The test wasn't supposed to be serious, it was just a joke. I wouldn't necesarily survive a horror movie, although I have a better chance than most, since I am not one of those retarded people horror movies seem to rely on. (Hey, there's blood dripping down the wall! Let's go check it out!)

I'm not much for many horror movies, they tend to be cliched, boring, and storyless. My little brother, on the other hand, loves them, and has been watching scary movies since he was like like seven, although he claims he was four when he started watching them, and he might be right. He loves the blood and gore dripping down everything. He's easily impressed by special effects.

I have seen Freddy vs. Jason. It was while I was on a family vacation to Tenesee. I was watching with my twelve year old cousin, and she covered my eyes whenever a "disgusting" part came on. She had no problem with me watching the mindless slaughter scenes, but didn't want me to see the mindless sex scenes, apparently. She forgot that I am older than her, and I was in charge, but I didn't mind. I was zoning out the whole time, wasn't really watching. I managed to fall alseep about a dozen times, just before a round of yelling started. When the movie was over, I didn't go to sleep that night. I couldn't. I kept on seeing seeing Jason's reflection in the mirrors, and my mind was so numb that rows of little Freddies were dancing in front of my eyes. I finally got to sleep around sunup, and was the first one awake later. (I never need much sleep. I'm physically incapable of sleeping more than six hours straight, and I usually do fine on four. Any less, and I make it up later.)

I am fairly hard to scare. I won't say impossible, because I can be frightened, but I usually don't get too tired. I do have an overactive imagination sometimes, so when I'm reading or watching something scary, and I see a mirror in my periphial vision, I think it's something else.

After reading Steven King's book, It, I was walking to get a drink, and I saw something out of the corner of my eye, looking like a clown's head. I knew my habit of seeing things that weren't there when I was reading scary books, so I assumed it was a mirror with my reflection in it. When I went back, there was no mirror. I bet you can guess how much sleep I got that night.

I don't watch many movies, so I rarely have problems.

I think that most "normal" people would survive a horror movie becase noone is that stupid. I mean they have to be in the movie to make it scary...

That movie freaked me out so much, I will never look at clowns again the same. And I rather not float. I dare not read the book "It"!!

And there are only six halloween movies,
DoomedOne
Depends on the movie.

Scream made fun of that. Only the people who didn't know how to play the game died. Halloween though, was pretty straight forward, people trapped in a certain area and Myers is always just a step ahead. The movies that really follow that, "Only the idiots die," are Friday. Saw is pretty different. That movie gets you thinking about whether you really would survive.

Realistically, I'm probably that barely breathing type though the test wasn't very good, so I got You are so alive. I'm barely breathing on the sense of Jeff Goldbloom in Jurassic park, there's just something too likable about me to let me die.

EDIT: Okay, time fore my massive eye-roll...

Halloween (1978)
Halloween II (1981)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Halloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)
Halloween V: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)
Halloween VI: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995)
Halloween (7) H20: 20 years later (1998)
Halloween (8) Resurrection (2002)

8 movies, read 'em an weep.

I have always had a slight suspiscion of clowns. And now I know why. The book was good, never seen the movie. (I subscribe to the "book is generally better than movie" rule) Yes, you'll float down here. We all float. Just remember, just say no to hobos with leprosy who offer to blow you for a dime.

And always trust in the Turtle, and ye shall survive.

I've wondered what that was restraining me from sending out me evil ninja monkey assassins whenever we disagree. I guess you're just too likeable to kill. smile.gif
