There are lots of movies that claim to be "scary". I guess we all have out favorites, you know, the ones that really make you feel like you might wet your pants. What does it for you?
I've never been affected by the rubber monster movies or the space alien stuff or even the gut and gore type. The first movie I ever saw that upset me was the original "The Exorcist" where the little girls head did the 360. The special FX were awesome. Miss Pam made us sleep with the light on for several nights and she put a claw hammer on her night stand.
I had visions of waking up with no face but it all turned out alright. Still I felt better when she put the hammer back in the garage. 
We stood in line for 2 hours in the cold misty rain to see it. I can't explain why it got to me. I found it interesting that William Freidkin, the producer, quit making movies for 12 years after he did that one saying that too much weird stuff happened during and right after they finished it. And when he did come back he stayed away from that type movie.
Well, tonight I watched a movie we rented from NetFlix that got to me almost as much as "The Exorcist". It's a new movie and stars nobody I ever heard of. But it was well directed, well acted, and the production design was excellent to highten the scariness of the movie.
The title is "The Conjuring". It's a true story which occurred in 1971. The story of a family that moved into an old farm house built in 1863 and the demonic posession of the house and the mother of the family.
If you google ROGER AND CAROLYN PERRON you can see the family that it happened to and also read about Ed and Lorraine Warren the people who investigated the house. BTW they also were in on the investigation of the Amityville houe and The Haunting in Connecticut.
I know a lot of these flics are phoney but this one and the Warrens is legitimate as far as I can determine. I've been keeping my eye on Miss Pam and so far she hasn't gone for the hammer but I'm gonna keep on keepin' an eye on her just in case.
I just don't know if stuff like this really happens but I do know one thing for sure and for certain. I don't EVER want to experience even a water glass levitating and flying across the room.
We have a considerable collection of movies on VHS, DVD and Blueray. I think I'll pick something on the light side and watch that and then maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to get some sleep.
If you have seen some of the haunted house type movies and weren't impress be careful with this one. It might just grab ya and have you running to the garage to get a hammer of your own. I've seen most of the others and none of them scared me. Some, like Amityville were good movies but not really that scary. But "The Conjuring" did a number on my head.
You've been warned..........
