It took me awhile to wind down from last week. This week will prove to be just as horrible. I decided to spend the weekend doing something that took no thought, was for shear pleasure and might be mildly amusing. It was time for some scary movies.
I rented a bunch and settled in. The first I watched was "Shutter" which was a pretty typical ghostie story that takes place in Japan ala "The Grudge". It wasn't all that interesting and not even very entertaining. The second was "Prom Night" which I chose because I knew it would be a bunch of high school kids getting offed in various gory ways. In this it did not disappoint. It wasn't that scary but I sure didn't have to think about it. I took a break from the would be scares to watch "Kinsey". This wasn't a bad film it just became tedious after a while. It's about the Kinsey report, of course, and all the research and head ache that went with it. After a while, I wanted to shout "Okay! I get it! It was groundbreaking!" and move on.
I have one more movie to watch but I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it. I know it's bound to be horrible. It's something called "Dead Clowns". But here's why I got it in the first place. I hate, loathe and despise clowns. I always have. I have some weird clown phobia. There's just something truly creepy and unlikeable about them. They give me nightmares. So I'm thinking watching a zombie clown movie might be a sort of therapy. Maybe I can face this illogical fear head on and get over it. Maybe. Or maybe it will send me right over the edge. I still haven't decided whether or not to watch this thing but I have until Thursday to decided. That's when they're due back at the store.

eeewww, you'd never in a million years catch me watching a clown movie. I would know i would have the scariest nightmares ever! i hate clowns too but the funny thing about my phobia is the clowns that give me the creeps are the one's on tv or in movies or just in pictures. there's nothing creepier to me than a clown picture. i can however deal with them in person. makes no sense, i know. i did go to clown school once for a day and learned about makeup techniques to try to get over my fear. it did help put a rational spin on things but i still can't watch anything with a clown in it. good luck with your week! sending good karma your way :)
i had a feeling that was what the Kinsey movie was going to be like, I mean it was groundbreaking and all, but yeah...
