Halloween is just a day away and this past weekend many TV stations have been playing horror movies. I'm not a horror movie kind of girl. As a matter of fact, you could call me a "hide your face in the cushion and yell, "tell me when it's over" kind of girl.
Mr. Wonderful and my children take endless delight in how skittish I am. They love to see me startled and the least little thing will make me jump.
The very first horror movie I remember was "The House of Wax" with Vincent Price. It was a black and white movie and had a 3 D effect. I was 4 years old at the time and remember that I spent half the movie with my head buried in my Dad's chest with my eyes closed and the other half on the theater floor with my 3 D glasses off. I remember being really scared throughout the movie and even having bad dreams afterward.
Plot Outline: A horribly disfigured sculptor opens up the House of Wax in New York, using the wax-covered bodies of his victims as his displays.
I grew up to be a nurse and work in the Emergency Room. I've seen enough real-life horrors to never want to watch that kind of movie on the big screen for entertainment purposes. Even now as an adult I'll leave the room, close my eyes or cower under a cushion.
Do you like to watch horror movies?
