I was one of those kids that was never freaked out by scary movies. My Dad and I loved having horror movie marathons on the weekends, whether it was close to Halloween or not. We would go through whole series of horror flicks in one night, mostly the classics, munching on our pizza and assorted candy. It was a blast.
Going to bed after the movie was always a different story. Once the quiet set in and I was in my room alone in the basement that’s when the fear hit me. I would hear every creak of the house and moan of the wind and I would start to imagine all the terrible things that could be happening inside or directly outside of our house.
But I always went back, no matter how terrified I got once the movies were over. I loved watching them, and still do. So today I thought I’d share a list of my favorites, since there are so many to choose from these days...
1. Halloween- This is a classic and hands down my favorite scary movie of all time. The Micheal character is the epitome of a creeper and still gets me no matter how many times I watch it.
3. Saw- I don't really care for the ten billion sequals they've pushed out, but I love the original. You never see it coming.
4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre- This is one movie that I actually like the remake better than the original, but I recommend them both. Pretty much any movie with a messed up dude in a freaky white mask gets my heart rate going. (See choices number 1 and 2)
Do you love scary movies? If so, what are your favorites?
I hate scary movies !! When I was a kid I used to love them, scream was my ultimate favourite. But tonight I think I'll put my feet up and watch a friendly halloween movie. Thanks for sharing your faves, I'll keep the last 2 (non-scary ones) in mind for later :-)

I used to have nightmares when I was about 4 or 5 so my parents made me watch scary movies. I used to live off them! Oh man, there were so many awesome scary movies when I was a kid. And I only liked the gory, bloody ones hahaha. Not the fantastic monsterish ones. If I didn't feel the need to check under my bed after it was over, then the movie was a bust.
ReplyDeleteaah, the memories. Thank you for the smiles!
nooooooooo Halloween freaks me out!! It was Jons ring tone when I first met him!
ReplyDeleteI am really embarrassed to say that the only movie I've seen on this list is The Nightmare Before Christmas. I hate scary movies!! I watched like 30 minutes of The Grudge and had nightmares for the next 2 months. I just can't do it! Have a safe Halloween sweety!
ReplyDeleteI love all these movies! And I have the same exact problem going to bed. I usually end up leaving the lights on all night and get an equally horrific electricity bill haha
ReplyDeleteI love scary movies!! My friends and I have been having marathons for over 15 years!! Strangers is definitely scary and I love Halloween too...but didn't like the remake as much as the original.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way! Love scary movies...until the lights are off or it's time to go take a shower:-) Here's a good plan; after the pee-your-pants scary movie, turn on Hocus Pocus. Boom. Life is good again! xoxo
