Spin Off of the Scared Thread
Clara Bow:
Now that I know how to make you all quake in your boots (mmmwwwaahhahhahahaha) I wanna know what books you will not read or movies you will not watch alone in the dark...
I can't read any true crime, especially my beloved serial killers, I can't watch Justice Files or anything of the like and I can't watch A Haunting. I do okay with the movies, though I won't watch the Exorcist (a favorite of mine)
Okay, now I'm hearing Stephen King noises in the house...I'm going on the porch to smoke and I gotta hit the hay....
shadowfox79:
I love horror films, but won't watch any that involve torture. The current trend towards torture flicks is not to my taste - they stick in my head and make me depressed.
As to books, I have to admit they just don't scare me.
Clara Bow:
I don't find torture flicks scary. Disturbing and slightly nauseating, but not scary. There seems to be some confusion over scary the difference between scary and gross. I was noticing that when I watched the Scariest Film Moments on Bravo. A lot of what they were picking as scary was just nasty. Hostel?? Please....I'm a future nurse and I can tell you that a lot of that is plain and simple horse puckey....
Lunadiana75:
A Handmaid's Tale gave me nightmares. Truly one of the scariest books I have ever read, because you can see it happening. Shudder. It gives me the willies just thinking about it.
Gollum. To this day, any of the LTR versions freak me the *insert expletive* out. Evere since I was a kid, Gollum has scared the stuffing out of me.
Slartibartfast:
True Crimes, CSI, etc. don't bother me at all. I can't watch ANYTHING that's got a scary soundtrack, though - that includes Corpse Bride (supposed to be a kids' movie!), Fellowship of the Ring (at least the part with the ringwraiths), or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I admit it, so when I have to buy movies for my library I go to www.themoviespoiler.com and look up what the plot is :-)
