It’s October 13, a good day to talk about scary movies.
I’m pretty sure the scariest movie I have ever seen is “Saw.” My brother made me watch it… He was like, “I can’t wait to watch this movie with you! It’s so good! You have to see it with me. When are you coming over so we can watch ‘Saw’?” I considered all this, and after weeks of persuasion, I gave in and came over. He neglected to properly inform me that it would make my skin crawl, give me nightmares, horrify me, and generally freak me out.
In truth, “Saw” is an really good movie. It’s extremely impressive and sadistically enjoyable. Though I didn’t care for the experience of being frightened out of my mind, I highly recommend it if you can handle an intelligent thriller movie. Lucky me had Riley to hold onto while we watched the DVD. Being a dog, Riley wasn’t scared of the movie at all.
I went to the movies last week and saw that they are coming out with a sequel to “Saw”… Sickly, I am interested in going to it, but I’m not sure how well I can handle it. I also would definitely see the first one again. It was really good and it can’t be as scary the second time. Right?
Maybe the Blair Witch really is real.
Ask Mike to tell you about the time we watched the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre… also watch the re-released Exorcist.

Yeah, good call Daniel. we were pretty freaked out about that one. the house was completely dark and I was scared. I remember after the movie ended, I went upstairs to brush my teeth. The bathroom door led right to the stairway, with the front door right at the bottom of the stairs. I was constantly checking the door to make sure no chainsaw-weilding maniacs were coming in.
It gets better…I have an electric toothbrush. I couldn’t turn it on for days because it sounded similar to a chainsaw when I brushed my teeth. Daniel, that first night, did I ask you to stand guard while I brushed my teeth? I know I wanted to.
By the way, I already made her watch the Exorcist, but it was daytime so maybe thats why she wasn’t as scared.

You did make me stand guard, but I mostly remember having to watch cartoons to get to sleep, and we watched the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the witch and it seemed ironic.

Scariest movie I have ever seen – because it verges on “could really happen” – is Rob Zombie’s “House of a Thousand Corpses.” {{shudder}} I still freak when I am in a less than populated and less than well-lit stretch of road.
