Is there something from your childhood that you can remember in great detail? Now I'm not talking about a traumatic event, but just some crazy thing that stays with you for some reason. I remember watching this movie as a kid, I had to be about 7 years old and I was scared out my wits! It was complete with scary organ music, a thunder and lightning rainstorm and lots of dark night scenes.
I used to share a bed with my older sister, Mary. After watching this horror flick, I remember lying awake for it seemed like hours in a cold sweat. I had Mary pushed as close to the wall as she could get ...I was trying to get as far away from the bedroom door as I could in case the murder decided to come after me!
As I flipped thru the channels the other night, I came across ...da da da dah... "THE MOVIE" that haunted me all these years and decided to face my fears and give it a try....
What a hoot!!!
When was the scary part coming?
Why wasn't I scared when I saw that spooky eyeball looking through the peephole at Helen?
How did I know who the killer was in the first 10 minutes?
I guess it's never too late to go back and face your fears even if it takes 50 years!
Friends, It's the simple things in life that bring us the most pleasure. Those everyday things that put a smile on our face and create the memories that we hold in our hearts...... Suzy
I used to be afraid to the Wizard of Oz! Those flying monkeys scared me to death plus the wicked witch of the west! I too would lay awake in a cold sweat in my room with my sister asleep in the next bed not daring to move or open my eyes! I still don't like watching it as it is so long but I don't get scared any more thankfully! heehee!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this movie but it sounds like one I would love! I used to beg to watch "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock then I would be terrified to go outside for a week!
