I've made my way through "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" and "Arrested Development." But horror is one genre I think I'll stay away from!Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-63771119462387794052008-08-18T23:03:00.000-04:002008-08-18T23:03:00.000-04:00Hey Amanda,What struck me about listening to that ...Hey Amanda,<BR/>What struck me about listening to that segment was, everyone has a movie that scared them as a child. I think it's a pretty universal experience. In fact, I forgot to mention that the flying monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz" also scared me. Even today, I find them more than a little creepy! And I can definitely see where a burning family photo would make you feel ill.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-68327578203863599632008-08-18T22:59:00.000-04:002008-08-18T22:59:00.000-04:00Thanks for the heads-up Kari.

The former - I couldn't understand why it was supposed to be scary, just some ooze all over the place. The latter just flat out looked fake.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a horror movie person. I don't like modern horror movies one bit, they gross me out. I made the mistake of watching American Psycho when I was 21 and have regretted it ever since. But even so, those old movies, maybe because of the old-fashioned special effects, never affected me much when it came to fear.<BR/><BR/>Actually, the worst thing I ever saw as a kid was some old western (might have been a TV show even) where a town was raided and a family had all their photos dumped into a fire. They showed a closeup of one photo curling up in the flames, and I got violently ill. So yeah, apparently I react badly to slightly off things...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1912669500934497251.post-33482848838190181502008-08-17T21:08:00.000-04:002008-08-17T21:08:00.000-04:00We were just talking about "The Man Who Knew Too M...We were just talking about "The Man Who Knew Too Much" at brunch today -- I love that movie.
