And after – cueing “Friday the 13th – the Nightmares”

My aunt let me watch Friday the 13th when I was 8. Bad idea! I vaguely remember getting me to bed was a nightmare.

They are so grounded!

Wait a minute.

If Mom was responsible for walking the dog the last time (it seems so from the way she confirms this), then the “check” and “roger that” from kids means they put Nick in bed and set the baby monitor.

Although Katy says check with a question mark. Maybe Nick will come watch the movie, too.

The best laid plans….. The kids know their parents all too well.

“Friday the 13th IV”?.They should watch Expendables 2 instead! Way more dead bodies! Closest estimate is 489…

When I was a tender age of 6, I hid behind the front seat of our car during the scary scenes of “The Day the Earth Stood Still”………..with Michael Rennie. Still can’t watch it, or the remake!

I am part of that generation terrorized by flying monkeys in Wizard of Oz.

Watch that and you’ll never sleep again

My wife gets mad at me because I have no use for horror flicks… I’ve never seen one yet that I didn’t consider totally pathetic and unrealistic. If they want to make horror they should use real life plots imo.

My sister and I went to a double feature of the original Friday the 13th with some hokey horror flick about a woman and her “nephew” (who was later revealed to be her son born out of wedlock and adopted by her married sibling).At one scene in Friday the 13th, I said that a drop of blood was going to land on the guy in the bottom bunk from the corpse above him. My sister said that a hand was going to come up from under the bed and grab him before killing him. We were both right.Then there was the scene in the other movie where the entire theater broke out laughing when the psycho “aunt” got an ax stuck in the corpse of the fat lady she had just murdered.Yeah, I don’t watch horror movies to be scared.

Depends on the horror movie. Slash and gore are just that. But “The Haunting” 1963 B&W movie based on Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. It still gives me shivers. For whatever walks there, walks alone. (forget about the remake. True movie horror is never seeing the monster.)
