Last night was a “scare fest” in our home and I have to admit that this time I met my match in movies. We watched “Paranormal Activity” and it scared the “begeebers” out of me! I slept, but not without having parts of the movie coming to mind when I awoke during the night.
For those that haven’t been on planet Earth for the past year or so, let me explain the movie a tad… A couple starts filming the events and nights, to investigate what’s making it difficult for them to sleep (giving all new meaning to “going ‘bump’ in the night”). It’s filmed just as if it were them doing all of the filming with a handheld camera.
When it comes to whether a person likes or hates the movie, there is no middle ground. You either believe in such possibilities and were terrified or you think it’s all bunk and that it’s the dumbest movie you’ve ever seen.
Some may have issues with how it’s filmed, but if you give it a chance (and believe in such things), you’ll be drawn in and find yourself watching as if you were looking for a REAL spirit. I kept reminding myself that it was a movie and still found myself looking hard to see what was happening next.
I admit it; I’m a ghost hunting geek, with an addiction to investigating equipment, reading stories of hauntings, and everything to do with The Myrtles Plantation (highly recognized for its ghosts). So, this movie freaked me out in a big way.
These movies make us feel like a kid, again… Clenching a pillow and holding our breath, knowing “something” is about to happen. Leaving enough to the imagination for it to run wild and drag us along for the ride. Remember watching movies in the dark and being afraid to put your feet on the floor because of what “might” grab you??? Oh wait, that was just last night and if you watched it… YOU KNOW WHY!
Never stop doing these silly little things, like watching horror movies, just to see how scared you get. It’s great way to feel alive and especially fun sharing these moments with your older kids (make sure the movies are age appropriate). They get an added kick out of seeing their OLD parents just as scared as they are. Oh yes and this October 22nd Paranormal Activity 2 comes out… Brace yourself!
