Screams Create Smiles

Some people like watching action films, others may like comedies, but my go-to movies are definitely horror. Even at about 8 years old, I liked watching scary movies. It was more of a love-hate relationship then. I loved watching them, but really regretted it later when I had to go to bed. There was one certain person from scary movies that was my worst nightmare: Michael Meyers. I couldn't go to sleep at night because I kept thinking that he could be standing in a corner of my room waiting for me to doze off..and then kill me. I loved anything scary, even at that age. Whenever my family would go to a place called Color-Me-Mine, which was where you could paint a bunch of different ceramics, I was always painting things like skull cups and mini-gargoyle statues. Halloween was one of my favorite times of year, and it still is now. I've always been into really weird and creepy things like that. I also loved going through haunted houses. At first, I couldn't stand waiting in line because I was dreading going through the house, but afterward, I was always full of adrenaline and I loved it! The scariest movies that I watched at that age were the Halloween movies, and then my dad kept telling me, "Wait till you watch the Saw movies. You'll love those!" Of course, I wasn't allowed to watch them at that age, but when I was able to, I always told my dad that there was no way I would ever watch those. Guess who happens to love the Saw series now? After watching the first one, I had to keep watching the rest of them. Eventually, I turned into a scary movie-aholic. I'd jump at the chance to see any scary movie, whenever. Sometimes, I even rent scary movies and watch them by myself in my basement. It does get pretty creepy, but that's part of the fun! My favorite scary movies are both of the Paranormal Activity movies. So instead of comedies making me smile, horror movies do the trick for me!
