The Perfect Horror Movie Buddy…A Girl and Her Dream

This is usually the post where I announce the scary movie I will live-tweet this month. Unfortunately, horror movie friends, because of vacations and children’s desires to BE INVOLVED IN ACTIVITIES… ugh, kids…

I will not be live-tweeting a movie this month.

I know.

I know.

I have become incredibly attached to my live-tweets. I have so much fun, sharing my thoughts on the strange, unusual, and terribly creepy movies with everyone. Thinking of you all out there, smiling (or cringing) as you read my tweets makes me a happy gal.

If you recall, I began this adventure to unite all of us out there who love horror movies, but might not have someone to share the joy of blood and guts, of the dark and twisted. Like me! My husband is not a fan of films created by the desire to face fear, to gaze into the shadows, and look under the bed. My kids think I’m crazy-I have failed in their training.

I first watched horror movies with my dad. He never changed the channel, not caring if you were a small, impressionable child. Oh the wonders I saw. The terrible, insane wonders.

I got married and moved away from my dad, my horror buddy. And though I happily take myself to see the ghostly, grisly, and terrifying, alone…I dream of my perfect horror buddy.

Could we be buddies?

First a little about my movie watching skills…

I watch perched on the edge of my seat, not cowering behind my hands.

I do not scream, but have been known to swear.

I will (for my own safety) pull my feet up onto my chair.

I must have chocolate (dark chocolate M&Ms are my first choice) while sitting enchanted by the flickering images of doom.

My favorite horror movies are ghosts/demons/gothic, but I do enjoy a bit of humor mixed in and wouldn’t say no to a slasher film.

I love being the only one in the theater, though I do like sharing the experience with one or two people.

A good jump scare is nice, but I love an overall creepy factor…a mystery to solve.

So…what do you say? Would you watch a movie with me?

When faced with a scary movie, who do you like to sit beside you?

Do you need someone to hold your hand? Hide behind? Do you like people who laugh when someone loses a limb (or head)?

Do you want to be surrounded by friends who scream louder than you, so you can deny the screaming?

Do you need someone to throw their arms around you to keep you from jumping out of your seat? Do you want complete silence? One person or a whole gaggle?

Would you like to debate the effectiveness of the blood splatters, the ghost’s motives for killing the entire cast, or the twist at the end?

Who is your perfect horror movie buddy?

IS IT ME?????

And have no fear…Let’s Watch a Horror Movie live-tweet will return in July.
