Scary movies are like flu shots. Once a year, uncomfortable, and something I avoid at all costs. I scream to drone out the sounds, cover my eyes, and somehow still can’t sleep for weeks. Sure I’ll jump off that 60 foot bridge, but watching other people run away from ghosts on TV? Hell no. On the way home from watching The Exorcist one year, I swear I saw a demon in my passenger seat, and nearly drove into a mailbox trying to kill the evil spirit.
This year is different. It’s going to be all or nothing, back to back, balls to the walls. Here’s the game plan: Paranormal Activity 1 on Thursday and, optimistically assuming I am still alive, Paranormal Activity 2 on Friday afternoon (in broad daylight, obviously). And if they had come out with Paranormal Activity 3D, I’d totally be there Saturday.
So in other words, I’m not planning on sleeping until maybe Thanksgiving. Don’t even think about pulling a prank. I’ll be keeping a baseball bat by my bed and mace in my pocket for the next month.
There is no way on earth I will be seeing that movie anytime soon. This past weekend I watched The Excorcist and didn't sleep a wink for all the nightmares the voices in my head drummed up! So watching that paranormal stuff ... not gonna happen!
