Recently, after a weekend of cooking and leaving meals overdid the range and in the sink, I completed cleaning the kitchen area, browsed, and solemnly proclaimed: “This. Home. Is. Clean.” like that lady in “Poltergeist.”
That’s the level of mess it was– like I had exorcised demons by cleaning it up.The initial “Poltergeist” is my favorite scary motion picture of all time. I attribute this to the reality that Steven Spielberg composed it (and to the decadent early ’80s fond memories).
Growing up, frightening films were enjoyable. At rest parties slasher flicks were as required as playing Fact or Dare or Hasbro’s Girl Talk.I grew up with the early 80s slasher flicks: Jason, Freddy Krueger, and Chucky were legends and turned up often in conversations at rest celebrations where we wished to see who could terrify one another the most.Then there
was always that a person buddy who knew somebody whose cousin’s sister’s aunt experienced a murder or had seen a real ghost and then we ‘d all get swept up in Urban Legends chatter.I had one friend
who had HBO in the early days. When I spent the night with her we ‘d stay up late and watch the horror films I was not enabled to see at home.Incidentally, this was the same good friend I snuck in with to see the original”Candyman “when I was 12. We told my mommy we were visiting” The Mighty Ducks “as she dropped us off.Up until then, that was the most scary thing I had ever seen.
I’ fessed up as early as that night when my mom asked me why I was pleading her to oversleep my room.My mother is an excellent sport and will view the occasional thriller with me, if
it’s well written.Recently, she watched the original “Candyman “with me– still simply as frightening as in the past. We saw a few of
The Conjuring films too(except the Nun one– can’t do that one). As with most, the first one was the best, however I liked how every one offered more backstory for the one before it.Also, there’s simply something about ghost stories embeded in the ’70s that are especially appealing to me, particularly when they are “based on real events
.”But I am well aware that Hollywood considerably changes these “occasions” to sell tickets, which is a given anytime you see”based on genuine events. “Yeah, we know what we’re paying for.I believe the 2nd Conjuring, which involved the famous haunting in Enfield, England, was the most interesting story to me( the real story, not the movie) due to the fact that of the real-life photos.A few years back, I satisfied somebody who lived there. She said she had to do with that age when all of it occurred and it was huge news. Individuals in the location still point out” your home in Enfield,” however it appears like any other house.Just do
n’t do like I did and go down a YouTube bunny hole of documentaries on these supposed”real events.”I did that several years ago one dark and rainy night when I lived alone. Born in Rome, Olivia Gunn went back to her roots after
