Scary......

Halloween is around the corner which is always bitter-sweet for me. I LOVE Halloween LOVE IT!! It has been my favorite holiday for as long as I can remember. Christmas is trying to edge in at #1 but I think that’s cause I have kids now, Christmas takes on a whole new meaning. Anyway, Halloween however although my favorite is also my most disliked and here’s why……I HATE anything scary, dead, pretending to be dead, painted, moving slow, all of it.

When I was 7 I own tickets from the radio show for it being my birthday, these tickets were to a haunted house. So my mom and I go, and I got so freaked out, we had to be ESCOTED from the building (I still blame the fact they had a guy dressed as a priest walking with you, that creped me out). Then there was the time on homecoming night in high school my date and friend and her date decided to go to haunted house (dresses and all, um Duh?) so we go, no big deal until I go through this tunnel as I am crawling out, this kid at the haunted house almost pelts me in the head with his toy gun, thankfully my date saw it and grabbed the gun. So, although not scary still a bad experience. Then there was the time when Eric and I went. It was right after we had gotten married and we went to an outdoor corn maze/haunted house. The haunted house was at the beginning, and then you went into the actual maze part. We went with friends and I was excited I thought I had finally outgrown my fear. Until we went in. It was bad from the get go, there were people EVERY where, above you, crawling out from the bottom of the corn, jumping at you (ugh just thinking about it) so needless to say I was FREAKED out, I went into panic mode and stopped, just stopped at 25 years old, I’m standing in the middle of a corn maze frozen. The kid that was messing with me got to see angry Eric because he wouldn’t let go, he was really in my face. I also do not do scary movies, I avoid them like the plague. I WANT to watch them, but I have learned to just let that want go. I will watch a movie and be fine, that day, maybe even the next. But the 3rd day it kicks in, and usually messes with me for the whole day I recently saw an article that listed the top 10 zombie movies, I have only seen 1 of them and it has stuck with me for over a year. It was a very disturbing and intriguing moving, and still gives me the creeps. I think it’s funny that of all the things I share with my father, this is one of them. My mom, can watch a scary movie till the cows come home, but my father will shoot 10 feet straight up in the air at the end of Carrie. I probably would too if I ever saw it.

This is just something I was thinking about………
