I was scared a little too much

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2001)

Being a teenager, I attend many sleepovers with my friends where we rent scary movies. One day we decided to rent Halloween with a few other videos. I'm as paranoid as they get. If you read my "location" for this film, you see that I don't mention it, with fear that "Michael Myers" might be upset with me and want to come and kill me. Psycho? Maybe. Paranoid? Yes.

Being the "brave" teenager I put the movie in the VCR and pushed play. The music was so scary that it added so much to my reaction. After hearing the music I was creeped out, but couldn't tell anyone to turn it off for fear of being called a loser or something. I could barely sit through it. I did though and I can see how it is considered a "classic". I unfortunately have my own "horror" story connected with the film; after seeing it (I was 13 at the time) the next day when my parents arrived to pick me up I was looking over my shoulder and being more paranoid than ever. I eventually developed a fever from it and threw up and had to sleep with my mom that night. Even though I went through all that, I see that only a good movie can do that to you. Uhoo, I heard a noise at it is late at night..better run up to my room and lock my door now-- of course that was only a movie, right?
