The Fun in the Scary

So I was with some friends, and I was all like "Oh hey, I'm gonna go watch that movie. You know. THAT movie."

And they were all like, "WOAH man, THAT movie? Are you SERIOUS?"

And I was all like, "Yeah?"

And they got all self- righteous and all, and said "I'm not gonna pay for a movie that will scare me." And walked away.

And I was just standing there and I was thinking "Wait. What just happened?"

So later on, I was talking to my other friends, and they were like "Oh hey, you wanna watch Paranormal Activity?"

And I was like, "HELL YES I WANNA WATCH PARANORMAL ACTIVITY!"

And at that point I suddenly remembered the guys I was talking to before, and I was talking about it to my friends, and it was basically all like:

Ok, you don't go to a movie house all alone, and get scared out of your wits, you know? It's like you go there with friends! Yes, friends! And then you scream together and everyone's all like "OH MY GOD THAT WAS SO FREAKY BRAH" and laugh? I mean THAT'S the fun in it all, you experience something together, and have fun with it!

I remember a few years ago, I watched Rose Red with some people, and the movie was like 6 hours long right? It's about this manor called Rose Red, and it's haunted. Scary. And then you know you get this freaky feeling right, what with the long history of the house, and the descendants and everything, but then the movie was over just like THAT, and I was thinking "Oh man, we've GOT to do that again" cuz like, that's what it's all ABOUT. You chill with your friends, you do something together, laugh, cry, be scared, all with a people friendly beer and popcorn in hand. Now, I'm thinking of doing a full 13 ep. marathon on Harper's Island. Mmhm. Care to join?

Because yeah, that's what it's all about.
