I think my favorite scary movie of all time is the original Night of the Living Dead. I don’t remember when I saw it the first time but I do remember that it was at a drive-in movie. I had nightmares about that movie for a long time. I suppose Night of the Living Dead is pretty tame compared to Halloween the movie.

I don’t like scary movies as much as I did when I was younger. Maybe this is because when I was younger I thought everything in life was a fantasy, just like in the movies. Family massacres? Big deal. It is only a movie – not real life. Somewhere along the line as I got older my thinking has changed. Family massacres and blood and gore are things that can happen in real life. Now when I watch these types of movies it takes a long long time to get the images out of my head and I tend to dwell on the fact that these things do happen in real life.

I have been known to cover my face during the scariest parts of some movies. After looking at this movie trailer for Halloween the movie I’m thinking I’d probably be covering my face during the entire movie! If the trailer for the movie scares the living heck out of me – I can only imagine how the movie itself will terrify me. The latest Halloween movie was written and directed by Rob Zombie and will be released August 31st. If you want to have the living daylights scared out of you mark your calendars. This one looks like it is going to be a winner.

I’ve been given an impossible task. I am supposed to tell you who my favorite character is from Reno 911! Miami The Movie. I really don’t think I’ll be able to complete this task because I love them all. And that’s no baloney.

Here is a video of one of my favorite scenes from the movie and I just watched it several times trying to figure out who my favorite character is.

Okay, I narrowed it down to a choice between Jones and Dangle – they are my two favorite characters and it isn’t fair to make me choose between them. Of the two I’d say Dangle is the funniest but Jones is the sexiest so there you have it. My favorite is, um, are, Jones and Dangle. But then there is Trudy. I laugh my butt off at some of the things Trudy says and does. I wonder if her character is as dumb as she acts sometimes or if she is crazy like a fox. I had better watch the clip again since I’ve narrowed it down to 3 instead of 2.

I’ll have plenty of opportunity to decide who my favorite character is because the Reno 911 Miami unrated dvd release date is June 19, 2007 – just in time for Father’s Day. I’m always thinkin’! I could watch Reno 911! Miami The Movie over and over again and never get tired of it. I’ll be buying the DVD for sure.

Most of the time I don’t believe in the supernatural, but there is always a little voice in the back of my head that says “what if”?

The trailer for the 1408 movie has made me wonder if anything “supernatural” has ever happened to me. I do remember one time when I was a teenager and my best friend and my brother and I were playing with our Ouija board. It was really weird to see the pointer move around the board and even spell words. We all accused the other person of moving the pointer but we all swore we weren’t doing it. I know for sure I wasn’t moving it. I started saying things like “Ouija board, you are stupid, you don’t know what you’re talking about!” and after I said that a few times the lights went out and we were sitting in pitch dark. We threw that board in the air and ran screaming into my mother’s room where she was trying to get a good night’s sleep. We were so scared we could barely get the words out to tell her what happened. She got up with us and lit some candles. My mother was pretty level headed. She convinced us that is was purely a coincidence. She told us to look at outside at the streetlamps. The electricity was out all over the neighborhood and that convinced us that a ghost wasn’t trying to get us. The lights finally came back on and we eventually calmed down. I’ll never forget the fright I felt for those few minutes.

I haven’t seen a scary movie in the theater in long, long time. I think those types of movies are much better in the theaters than at home on DVD though. My wedding anniversary is coming up in July and my husband and I usually go out to our favorite restaurant for dinner. I think I’ll surprise him this year with a movie date and I already have the movie picked out. Yep, after watching the trailer for 1408 Movie I think that’s the one we need to see.

In the movie, John Enslin (played by John Cusack) is a writer who scoffs at the afterlife and who has written a string of best selling books discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world. Enslin’s phantom free reign of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project “Ten Nights in Haunted Rooms”. Defying the warnings of the hotel manager Enslin is the first person in years to stay in the haunted room. In the last 95 years 56 people have stayed in the room and 56 people have died. They all died within the first hour. I was thinking if I were the author I’d make sure to take my cell phone or something but I’m sure supernatural beings have a way of disabling electronics just like the ghost in my Ouija board turned my lights off.

The movie looks like a good one and I’m wondering now if I should tell my husband ahead of time or keep it as a surprise. I’ll probably tell him because I’m not good at keeping secrets and he hates surprises.
