now that's scary!
This past weekend was what Whitney and I affectionately called the "Paranormal Weekend". As some of you may know, this past week, Paranormal Activity 2 was released on DVD. Now this past Halloween I watched the first Paranormal Activity with Whitney here at my house. But, I was not willing to go to the theater to see Paranormal Activity 2. Why? You man ask.........
See the girl freaking out in the front there? That would be me! This is an actual photo from an audience of Paranormal Activity 2. I would have FREAKED out in the theater.
Now back in October when I watched the first one with Whitney, she was very amused. She had seen the movie already, and I had not. So.....she got to watch me- watch the movie. I sat in my chair with a blanket pulled up to my nose. When watching a scary movie, I feel so much braver when I have my snuggie pulled half way up my face. It truly is my security blanket. The other humorous part is that I scream at every little thing! And I talk out the fear...'what was that noise?...is she safe?...why did he go downstairs?...DON'T OPEN THE DOOR!...ARE YOU CRAZY!...SHE'S GOING TO GET IT!'...and so on and so on. And as soon as night time hits in the movie....OH MAN...something is about to happen!
Well for this viewing of the second movie, Whitney scheduled us to watch it with her sister, Michelle and her husband, Eric. All three of these people have seen the movie. So I am the one jumping, screaming, and getting extremely nervous the entire time! Of course this is extra entertainment for them :) One scene in particular was extremely funny cause I really screamed and jumped!
Now I enjoy this kind of experience. These movies are fun kind of scary. Now Saw...not fun. Don't want to go there scary. But these are just suspenseful! They keep me on the edge of my seat and cause an adrenaline rush that can only be compared to when Whitney and I rode The Tower of Terror a couple of years ago. That first drop is really scary! It is really terrifying (if you will) because you don't know what to expect. But once you know what to expect, the scary thing then becomes thrilling and a bit of excitement. But - let me point out that I do not want to sleep alone in my house directly after watching these kinds of movies. I either need to have some time to watch something funny, or someone must be staying with me. :) I am still a bit of a weeny about this.
The really funny part of the evening came after watching the movie. I would like to call this challenge: How many times can we scare Erin tonight? After I watched this movie, I was jumpy. Rightfully so, yes....but still jumpy. So Michelle, Whitney, and Eric went with it and tried to scare me some more. (It was funny, I would laugh after each scare) Now let me ask you something...would THIS scare you???????
How about if they set it on the bathroom sink so that when you walked in you saw that with its legs crossed just waiting for you???? Now THAT is some creepy stuff! I made them take that out of the bathroom before I would go in! Dolls are creepy and this was just out there. They liked my reaction to that. The puppet ended up on my luggage. If I had been the last one to wake the next morning, I am sure he would have been next to my sleeping body. I am sure that the next trip to Michelle's the puppet continues to try and scare me. It's the eyes! They follow you, I tell you! Cree-eeepy!!!
